Bitsy

[azlew]

Ok I have searched high and low with no luck and elsewhere David stated there is no website for Bitsy.

The only thing I can find is this nice listing that lists models and different versions of those models for a total of 107 Bisty machines listed. Some have pictures. I haven't been able to get a decent translation of this but it looks like Bitsy has done quite a few machines? :

and

Does anyone else have any more information on Bitsy(we know they were bought out by Sankyo and previously had purchased Daido before the Sankyo buy out and Fields CO. distributes their machines for them) ??

Thanks

Here's the Fields 2004 Annual Report in English.
Looks like they have an exclusive distribution arrangement with Bisty.
The timeline in the report tells a good story about their history.

Ran into the same dead ends looking for info on Daido pachislos. Found they were bought by Bitsy which was bought by Sankyo. Fields is the distributor but NOBODY seems to have a factory website that shows any of the Daido machines.

Here's what I've been able to find on:

Don Don King Brochure - Playing Guide 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Giga Fever Brochure
Fever Queen Brochure Playing Guide Page 1 2 3 4 5 6

There were some other playing guides for these machines at www.easter-jx.co.jp but that site seems to be gone (or maybe just down right now).

Will all these great machines ever get to the U. S.

It seems like only a small percentage get saved and the majority get trashed.

It looks like we are missing out on a lot of great machines!!!!!

Well this is crazy !

I am bumping this. I have spent a lot of time using translator prgms etc and I am coming up empty as to finding a website for Bitsy machines. I find this incredible that they wouldn't have something somewhere on the internet this day and age?

I think this is it...

Since Fields does the distribution, this is under the Fields site...of course the Sammy machines they deal in are listed as well. You can run a translator on this page, but the dropdown in the center (which lists machines) links to Flash (Flashlike?) stuff that doesn't translate, and the links in the dropdown don't work if I'm in a Google-translated window--so just run it native and try some links! Guess I'll practice reading those characters again!

If it's exclusive distribution this might be the only "site". But at least you can get to the manufacturers' fancy promo pages for the pachis! (and they open in new windows, once you're there they can be bookmarked/added etc.)

Hope this is what you wanted...

I thought it was "BISTY". ???

[ocpachinko]

You're right...maybe we all see it wrong so often we're just used to it! I swear I didn't even notice this time!

[dattia]

I thought perhaps the search was failing because of a spelling error, but then I went back and read the previous posts and it was fairly obvious that the search was being done for "Bisty". Just trying to help, but as usual, a day late and a dollar short.

Thanks OC ! There are a few interesting Sammy ones there also. At least we have a bit more info on what Fields is distributing for Bisty also. Good Find !!
