    Default Brand new UK Pachinko convert!!

    Hi,
    First post on this Forum. Just got my first machine, Pink Panther, taking delivery of Thunderbirds on Monday! Really digging playing but unsure of technique, should you calmly fire single balls , on at a time, or should you machine gun them .Seem to be getting rather a lot of jackpots by the machine gunning method, but if I was playing for real in an arcade would I be spending a fortune!

    As the main object is to hit the start pocket to get the reels/video/whatever yours has spinning, I usually shoot till I have four of those banked, then back off, watch a bit then shoot some more. You may continue shooting in hopes of hitting an outer pocket for more balls but the chances are rather small. Since you can't bank more than four spins and the start pocket payout is only 3 or 4 depending on the machine, to continue shooting after that point seems like a waste to me.

    That's my theory, you're milage may vary.

    I am a rapid shooter!! No one shot at a time for me

    I also go to four banked reel spins and back off till a few have played.
