I came across this while browsing Google:

Abandoned pachinko parlor

[drcrippen324]

[Mike]

Crikey! I hope no-one decides to do the same to my games room! Come to think of it, that little kid from number 17 was giving me the evil eye when I walked by him last week

I guess none of you guys ever saw the opening flash video we used to have as our home page before we switched to a module based system...

pretty sad. actually..

but hey its not just a hobby its a sort of Save the Pachi children effort..

for every Pachi you adopt images like this become less frequent.

Any questions?

(Thoese are my photos, from my blog.)

Oh, and Tulsa... can I have a copy of that old flash intro?

[the-pachinko-master!]

Hey,how about not only saving a pachinko machine but lets all the members save a parlor! Just kidding!

I think I've already saved a few with the time and money I've put in them.

[the-pachinko-master!]

It really does look like the hell's angels showed up for a beer don't it? Rupan,you must have missed this one.

That really is a sad site (sight), Arby. Enjoyed the pictures.... I think...

[rupan777]

Meh, for every old-timer parlor that kicks the bucket, another 2 or 3 newer, bigger, and better parlors take its place.

A more apt definition...

[slotter]

I knew what ya meant, Jr. Just kidding.

Getting back to Arby's pictures, though, it looks as if there isn't even enough value in those machines in the abandoned parlor to even attempt salvaging them. That's pretty darn sad.

[the-pachinko-master!]

Yes,it is sad,but they look like older machines but I would still take them.

[drcrippen324]

i think that the machines would have nostalga value and the cabinets would make for one hell of a authentic games room set up

Where is the location of this parlor in Japan? and what date where the picture's taken:questionm
Look's pretty smashed up and shot up from the pic's.
I just woundering if this was a Japanese mob hit or did the compatition take out the parlor!.
The owner must have really pissed off some one for this to happen!
Is this parlor back up and running or is it still closed
And is the owner still around to tell us about his story or is he in the shape
as his parlor?
Can any pachitalk member that has lived in japan give us the real lowdown
on the darker underside of the pachi world!
Some one must have some story's about what's really going on in the back
room's of these parlor's.
I love to hear some of them!

[drcrippen324]

Gee cheers watcher did you have to get my curiosity rumbling and the other question i have to add to wachers list do the mob have anything to do with the sale of second hand machines that we buy

[watcher]

Well drcrippen324 I don't know about the the mob in the UK.
But here in Canada and in the U.S. the mob has their fingers in every thing you can think of.
If there is big money to be made you will find the mob some were in on it.
The Japanese mob is most likey in on it too some were down then line
with the resale of second hand pachi machine's, I wouldn't put it past them.
If their's big money to be made in the resale of pachi machine's you will
most likely find the Japanese mob with there fingers in it some were
down the line. Like I said, I wouldn't put it past them.
