So does anyone have a list of what Machines are in the Pachinko Parlors "today" that we will get to buy tomorrow (or near future). Inquiring minds want to know ?

You never really know what will find its way to our shores. It is safe to say that games with English writing and movie themes are always popular.

Major importers, I am sure, have standing want lists for exporters to fill, but the exporters control availability to bulk buyers.

One way of predicting what we'll get in the future,
is to watch the prices of games in Japan both on auction,
and in the web posted prices of pachinko stores in Japan.

4000-8000 Yen is the most common winning bid on YahooJapan for 85% of all games.
As bids ebb below 3000(about $32), You can count on seeing that title here soon.

Pachinko store prices in Japan tend to be about 35% higher then auction prices.

Hey James :

Do you have any links to those stores in Japan for Pachinkos? That would be interesting to browse thru. Thankx
