    Smile Looking At Buying a Julie

    I am looking at info concerning the Julie Patchinko Machine. How is it different from your mill of the run Patchinko of which I have a few. Where is the best place to buy it? What is considered a good price to pay.

    Any info concerning your experience and play value of this machine would be very helpful
    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

    It's an excellent machine and really one of the hot sellers towards the end of this year for the after market. It's in the Sankyo Lumina frame which lends itself to be being swapped with other very popular cells like Star Wars, Star Blazers, Indy Jones etc...

    The theme is all American and the music is infectious. They make good use of the larger 10 inch video which helps to make the reach sequences more interesting and like the later machines in the Lumina frame line, it features a more interactive play style with the chance button where you can control the flippers of the pinball table beneath the video screen. Unlike a lot of other cells this one is very generous in giving up fever rounds too.

    It's a real keeper!

    Where to buy one, well if you want the best of the best check with arby and see if he has one. If not, then samuraislots or panchinkocasino both on ebay and both linked in our RSS feeds section would be the next best place to look for them.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    Well mark where do i start Julie kinda moved the bench mark for pachinko that starwars set the music is awsome and is 3 of julies tracks perfect quality sound the play never ceases to amaze me im still seeing new things and i was one of the first to buy this machine back in may/june 06 and then it is toped off with the lumina case and the wonderful neon style lights that are on the cell and the working miniture pin table that YOU controle with the chance button

    Julie Pinball which is best described as a full size pinball machine taken and shrunken down into a pachinko machine including a 10 inch fully functioning pinball table in front of the screen complete with working flippers multi ball and bumpers.

    This Machine is nothing short of amazing for those not familiar with Julie in Japan he is a rock legend and trust me the music is awesome with some real nice rock tracks i have started looking for his CD album after playing this machine the cell is lit with a lot of neon as apposed to LED's to stay with the pinball theme and i haven't seen anything as astounding as the light show put on by the machine coupled with Sanciyo's Lumina case (same as star wars case) it is mind blowing to see.

    Then there is the hi def graphics that follow a pinball through the city bouncing of cars buildings and pinball machine parts finally the pinball comes to rest in a theme park where it picks a ride from roller coasters to Ferris wheels for the reach mode

    nuff said dont think just buy it

    depending on where you are in the world depends on the price you will pay as it varies from country to country
    My rice krispies told me to do it

    Smile Re: Looking At Buying a Julie

    Hey thanks for the reviews. You have convinced me to buy it. I have some other Patchinko's I bought over the years and I found them somewhat boringcompared to a pachislo. This game however appears to be different.

    All mine are Modern although different in themes / styles - but I wouldn't consider any to be boring....

    So have Fun!!

    I just got my Julie today. I immediately installed some much needed volume controls, this thing was ridiculously loud. I now have close to 2 hours on it and it's really fun. The ability to swap cells for Star Blazers, Star Wars and Indiana Jones is a nice bonus too.

    The music and videos are pretty cool. You can think of this Julie guy as Japan's version of Elton John. The chance videos are great HiDef 3D pinball scenes. You won't get bored of this one, highly recommended.

    Unless you are close to california I could not recommend Panchinkocasino's packaging, it is sub par, OK for a short trip and good UPS guys but terrible if a bunch of temp workers are throwing it around during the Xmas crunch.
    Just my opinion.

    While the packaging isn't the best I've seen, my made it halfway across the country without hitch. I'm afraid that the people who handled your package during it's journey were more responsible than you would think.

    My Lassen made it to PA without a problem.
    I think the whole thing at the moment stems from the fact that you had your package handled by the temporary Xmas monkeys. I got mine back in Oct and it arrived without any problems at all.
    Wait a couple weeks and I bet there will be very few issues with Panchinkocasino's machines arriving in one piece.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.
