Need a bit of help with understanding numbers etc..

Erm Im a bit lossed with how Pachinko works

When I match say 3 of 333 what does this mean for the feaver mode? I do the 15 rounds and it ends but does it mean anything like Pachislos or is this a totally different thing?

Also when Im doing my pre bonus round game with say the drill thunderbirds drilling thru numbers is this a random thing that it might match the 3 numbers like the spins at start of a go (ie bank up to 4) or should i be shooting into the middle pocket (or IR one?). Ive just been trying to work this all out for a week and Ive got nowhere and with 3 more machines coming tommorow I need some help

The payout of a pachinko is different. Say you have payout of 2250 balls. In a pachinko fever round that equates to 15 rounds x 10 balls per round or 150, in other words you everytime you hit the fever pocket (trap door) you get 15 balls. Once you've done this 10 times you move to the next round. Now you get 15 rounds so the equation is 15x10x15=2250 balls per fever round. Now you can easily move from one fever round to another and end up with over 16,000 balls.

Ok (well apart from my head hurting now hehe) so do the numbers mean anything what connect then say 777 or 666 to it? Also whats this chance thing Ive heard about as well ie i did 15 rounds then got 100 chance?

[Tulsa]

You're only trying to match the numbers. Each time you put a ball in the center pocket, the reels spin or whatever your particular machine does to match numbers. You have the ability to store up to 4 spins and the one your working on for a total of 5. 777 or 666 or 222 or whatever, you're simply trying to get a match. The chance is different on different machines but it's increased odds you'll get a match or another match sending you into fever round after fever round.

Ah k I get that now. What about when it goes into the sub mode then before feaver is it just random matching again or do i have to get it in the pocket x amount of times (ie i have 2 6s and its drilling numbers for the 3rds so do i have to get in pocket 6times?).

[Tulsa]

Your attempt should be to focus on the center pocket at it triggers your spins. The outer pockets have a higher payout percentage and that all well and good but they don't spin the reels. You want to spin the reels.

[Dazzyman]

Yea I understand the standard reels and I can bank 4 (and the IR will trigger the flippers for extra payout) thru centre, I mean the mode after 3 numbers match when it goes into the games mode where if u match 3 numbers there (2 are already matched its say drilling or diving depending on the craft to match the 3rd).

[Tulsa]

That would be specific to that game, sorry, I've never played that one to help you there.

I couldn't have said anything better than Tulsa did, but I think I understand that last question...it's just random--the number of balls you catch in the center pocket does not affect the result of the spin.

Ok thanks for the help guys! Just got to suss my 3 new machines when they arrive today now

[Tony Junior]

Hey Dazz, be sure to let us know which machines arrive, and how you like them.

[Dazzyman]

Hehe well the 3 machines have just arrived now in huge boxes (from http://www.pachinkos.co.uk/) with another big box for the balls and trays Cant open them till at least 9pm tonight tho as I cant lift and my dad is at work all day The torture is..................

[dattia]

Patience...Dazzy...Patience!

[Dazzyman]

Its the thought of "if only I got the knife ready and I could try" whats doing the torture. There sat next to me now in my room mocking me with this way up on the front. My mum just wants the pink panther fluffy toy apparently

[Dazzyman]

And my dad goes and has his day off cancelled for today

[Tony Junior]

Dazz, look at one of those unopened boxes, if one is still there.

You'll see my new Dance Night.

Well I finally played em for 2hours tonight Tony. Quick check on Pink Panther for my mum so cant give any thoughts yet (although the machine playfield and panther toy look marvelous) and then played rest of time on Batman and Robocop.
Robocop is gorgeous and highly reccomend it (better for me than Thunderbirds2) the shock tho is Batman as im blown away by it (I tried it first and spent most of time on it). Them reels are so addictive to watch and the dual side playfield is great. Such a sturdy made machine and great lights on it, everyone should have one. Didnt think Id be a fan of the reel system over LCD screens. I was a bit worried about it to be honest as it was a bit of an impulse buy but Im so happy I took the risk trying the reel one, boy is it loud the volumer adjusters on full tho; it caught me out as it did it loud with the three spinning on one and matching then went VERY loud teaing for matching the 4th (it didnt tho). Like the way the reels are lit as well, very cleverly made. I didnt get a single match tonight tho so I havent even seen the best bits on these machines yet and Im already satisfied with them

All 3 look great lit up together and its made me reliased that I need a therapy group so I can admit Im now addicted
