New to Pachinko purchased Girls und Panzer

[james.mathews29048]

Stepped properly into pachinko with my first machine. Got the basics down and understand the reach mechanic but wondering if the mini games and the like really do anything in regards to the game play other than add entertainment value. Appears to be dialogue exchanges between characters and flavor text only. Same with episodes, I’m guessing you technically stop shooting during these interludes so that the spins will continue one the episode completes.

Any help or just general wisdom would be appreciated.

First . . .

The Modern Pachinko Machine is a wonder and the "Reaches" are meant to keep you entertained and put more money to play to possibly get The Big Bonus Fever and get all those points that you redeem for Adult stuff like Cigarettes, Alcohol, Clothing,Candy , and even Food .

WELCOME!!!

Most modern pachinkos play like fancy slot machines and will win when they want to, all the fancy stuff and teasing is just to keep you playing!!

The basic rule for moderns is.once you have 4 banked start pocket wins. Especially through reach videos. Press the stop button on the shooter. Or release it. As for every start pocket you get. Your only going to win 3 balls but not get a chance on the slot reels. A bit generic. Some machines bank 5 reel spins. Others during fever or high probability time can bank 8. Or payout 4 balls rather than 3. But you get the general idea.

I don’t have that exact model; but mini games within modern pachinkos are common. Presumably; “winning” one of the mini games will increase the chances of getting a reach immediately after the mini game. If you lose; you almost certainly won’t be getting a fever in the next spin…

By how much odds are increased; no idea. Might help to lookup a gameplay guide for your machine if you want to learn all the intimate details about statistics, game flow, ect for your specific model on one of the Japanese pachinko sites.

Reaches and mini games usually indicate a better chance of winning, the more active they are the better.
