How do I play it?

[mr moo]

Please take a look at the picture below.

How do I win balls? I can only seem to activate the reels if I get a ball in the top left slot, the very top slot does nothing, the top right slot does nothing, the bottom left seems almost impossible to get one in and the bottom right is closed. Sometimes the ball goes in the middle area and gets past the rotating skull, then goes into the judgement area and then nothing happens.

any ideas?

also, does anyone know what its called? or where I can find more info on it.

Thanks

Looks like a complicated one! We likes those!

[mr moo]

thanks very much, does that page exist in english by any chance?

[compirate]

I'm sure not, unfortunately for us. I've got dialup, do the movies explain much?

I'll let you know when I have installed stupid itunes :-(

[mr moo]

ok, so i have figured out how to play it now, but no balls are coming out when i get balls into the step 5 gate, there are two open and closing gates on thebac of the payout, any idea what these should be set to?

[johntofva]

I am not sure what gates you are talking about. Can you post a pic of them?

[MrGneiss]

Have you ever gotten any payouts for getting a ball in any gate??

Have you tried putting balls in all the gates by hand??

Is the payout hopper on the back full??

Have you tried putting balls in all the gates by hand?? Yes, I removed the perspex and have completed the steps to get the last gate to open, but when i put balls in there, nothing happens :-(

Is the payout hopper on the back full?? Hopper is full, the switch in the tray is pressed down. :-(

Sorry I cant get any pictures on here yet, is there a way I can manually check the payout hopper? maybe by pressing a switch on the back or connecting 2 contacts?

Thanks

Can you see if there are balls going from the payout hopper all the way to the payout motor??

I have a game in that same frame but can't remember how easy it is to check that!! I can't check it right now to see but will try to later if I can!!

you can also see if you can find the ball dump and see if everything is flowing free...but if you do make sure you have something to catch the balls as they come out the back!!

also, you should check for any loose connections...maybe the payout motor is just unplugged!!

also there is a metal (usually) ball stop that should be swung out of the way to let the balls get to the payout motor!!

That is what I was wondering when he mentioned, "two open and closing gates on the back of the payout".

[mr moo]

ok, not home right now, working late. but thanks for the advice, I will check it out tomorrow. Im so glad you guys know about these wonderful machines, as I am more at home with a fruitie, but prefer the "skill" element of the pachinko.

[MrGneiss]

Well I looked at mine today, and what do ya know, the ball stop on it is black Plastic!!

[mr moo]

Ive cracked it! thankyou, i was the ball stops on the back of the hopper. It now seems to know how many to payout, and hasnt stopped for 45 minutes... How many does it payout when i get a ball in the last gate?

[MrGneiss]

It usually says the payouts of the machine on the upper right side of the cell!!

Not sure which pays out which on yours, but from that website compirate gave I think its 5, 10, 15!!

If thats right, that means that one or more pockets pay 5 balls, some 10 and probably one 15!!

[mr moo]

one last question, how do you 'reset' the machine, its still paying out and to be honest i put hundreds of balls through the 15 slot, so ive got ages to go.

[luckydog]

look for a reset button in the back, it should be near the on-off switch, hold it in for 10 seconds while turning the machine on.

if it still pays out balls owed repeat again

[mr moo]

ok found it, and its stopped paying out! the top four gates pay out 5, the bottom left pays out 10 and the botton right pays out 15.

The only downside is the ball shooter ? has stopped working

anyone know why? and how i get it working again?

[mr moo]

ok it now works fine except that it no longer shoots balls :-(
a red light is on the lower board next to some funny looking symbols, that i have never noticed before, I have reset the machine a few times and checked all the connections, when I turn the handle it makes no movement or noise.
any ideas?

[hanabi]

Maybe you disturbed the Dongle whilst figuring out the ball payouts??

Just unplug the Dongle and reconnect it again

I would try that first, as it has happened to me, and it's a simple thing to check out
