Out of the closet...

[tornadoclaw]

When I first started, all I purchased was pachislos. I had no interest in pachinkos. However, I decided to gamble an get an Arby surprise choice pachinko (Fever the King). After my first fever I started to lose interest in pachislos. Top Gun was next and I stopped reading all of the pachislo threads. Spiderman Neo caused me to stop searching eBay for pachisos. I now must admit that I am more pachinko than pachislo. Am I the only one to convert from straight pachinko to bi-pachinko/pachislo?

Correction: That should read "Am I the only one to convert from straight pachislo to bi-pachinko/pachislo?"

Nah same thing happened to me, but mine started with an Arby Thunderzone, and then an Arby StarWars.

I started by buying the Mrs a neo planet pachislo then found pachitalk then brought myself a thunderbirds pachinko and i converted that far i started vending

if that isnt an adiction i dont know what is

[luckydog]

I enjoy both the light and the dark side

[minnesotabrad]

I think it is each to his own. I bought pachislos first then a couple of pachinkos due to what I read on this board but still find myself playing with my pachislos more. I enjoy pachinko but still not as much as pachislo.

I still have and love both. Different machines, different game play, but still games.

When you gaming list features both types like:
Star Wars
Star Blazers
Top Gun
LOTR
Fever The King
Batman
Thunderzone
Apollo 1

Harley Davidson
Spin Luck
Dragon Dice
Super Blackjack
Betty Boop
Thunderbirds
Terminator
Metal Slug

It's really hard not to like them all!

I too started with Pachislos.......

but the Dark Side called to me and now it's Pachinkos!!!

Still have the Pachislos though - my family love them.....

[Tony Junior]

How can one not like both?

[Fighter Pilot]

I have never played a pachinko, so I can't say if I like them or not.

[tornadoclaw]

Fighter Pilot: Try a pachinko and see what I mean.... Top Gun would be perfect for a Fighter Pilot.

[hanabi]

There are proably people out there we like both quite equally

and I am not saying I don't like Pachislos - as I quite like my Sinbad Adventure.....

It's just that when I discovered Pachinkos - it was truly an amazing experience and very addictive!

I am really looking forward to my next Pachinko (and many more I'm sure!)

I aslo started with 'slots'. I bought the first one for my mom who used to enjoy playing a friends 'one arm bandit'. I picked it up cheap at a local auction house. I then bought one for me, soon needed another to play with my wife, Then needed another so when my pal stops by, and another for experimenting....
I just bought two vintage pachinko's and enjoy them very much, its like having a nice old car that needs a little attention to keep it running smooth. I would like to try a modern high tech pachinko. maybe, they might be more addicting.

Pretty much the same as some of the posts above. Started off with a Thunderbirds pachislo & the original terminator - but then got a Star Wars pachinko. All my purchases after that have been pachinko (Rocky, Spiderman NEO & Top Gun), but still enjoy playing the Terminator, but I sold my Thunderbirds.

[slotter]

I started with a Pachinko game in the mid-70s that I paid way too much for to go in my pool table room. Always wanted a slot machine and a couple years back came across a Pachislo at Sam's Club and grabbed it. Came home Googled "Pachislo," found this forum, and started buying an assortment of both machines.

I like 'em both equally but in different ways.

[luckydog]

So far, I've double stacked 3 pachislos to make room for my pachinko buys

and another one is coming

[alstonj1]

Whos sinbad adventure im sure you said your excuse for that one was it was for your daughters birthday

[Stingray]

I've never played a pachislo, but they don't really appeal to me. I'm like a packrat when it comes to shiny objects.

Lookit the shiny balls bouncing through the shiny pins! Woo!
