Pachislo Fever....

[Extrospec]

I contracted Pachislo fever on January 1, 2006. my family was invited over to the neighbors house for a party. We were invited upstairs to the gameroom, and lining the walls were some Pachislo machines. My neighbor, Jean, then showed my son and daughter the basic Pachislo machine operation, as I was given the rest of the tour of his various collections and hobbies. I politely took the tour as my kids were lighting up more than the machines they were playing. I know this is a highly contagious disease, because I never made contact with any of the machines. I can verify that the fever is transmitted via the air, you need not touch the machine to contract the fever.
Thanks for this site, I'm doing my research here. I'll be buying a machine or two....maybe three (or more). I think the only remedy is to immerse myself in long sessions of Pachislo game play.

WARNING....In it's later stages Pachislo Fever has been known to evolve into the more virulent Pachinko Fever. If this happens you should see Arby right away.

Beware there are no known cure for this disease(Addiction) The good side is that it is not fatal and the side effects of not enough room and a slimmer pocket book can be overcome. As diseases are this one is actually vary entertaining!

Beware the machines are self multiplying - like rabbits.

And just think that a decade ago it was called "Pac Man Fever" I guess this is one of those mutating viruses...

[drcrippen324]

And I think that the Japanese had a hand in developing both fevers!
And then there is the was Asian Flu. Now the Avian Flu. There are Japanese cars everywhere ...

I think Pac Man fever has mutated ... it's called MAME fever now, as contagious as ever though.
