Hello From Chicago

[Digitalmonkeyman]

Hey all!
I'm totally new to Pachislo, and I'm loving it. Unlike the instant gratification of todays society, I love the delayed gratification of the jackpots with the bonus spins. I do have some questions on how to read the payouts, my machine seems to start talking to me and turning red with crazy music at weird times. I don't hit a jackpot or anything, it just starts up, am I missing something?

And I think I have identified my machine as a Sammy Club Rodeo model, am I on the correct track?

Also, I can't seem to play just 1 or 2 credits, I have to play 3. Is this normal or is there a hiccup with my machine?

Thanks everyone, and I'm looking forward to meeting you all in the forums!
