    Default Experienced help needed! Which machine to choose?

    Ok, so I've come to a choice between a few machines, and I need some advice. It's my first machine ever, and these are my choices:

    Baseball Boy 7 $200.00
    Babel $300.00
    Galz Magic $200.00
    Marine Battle around $200.00
    Million God $150.00
    Digi Flush $200.00
    Sloter Kintaro $300.00
    Gundam $300.00

    Or a randomly ordered machine from Prestobeat on eBay.

    Can anyone recommend or advise AGAINST any of these? If I only buy ONE machine, which has the most longevity and the best gameplay?

    Gracias!!

    I think all of those are on the high priced side. Some of them way over priced.

    Have you checked with Gaku? You can use our RSS feeds section to see what he's got listed on ebay.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    I agree with Tulsa...Those prices are high. Also, They look like very generic sounding games. Try to find a theme your interested in like something from an Anime.

    MHO...I like King Camel.

    Does Gaku ship to Canada? I think that is the issue here.

    Of those machines you listed, I bought the Babel for my Dad. He enjoyed it very much. I paid $175 for it if I remember correctly. Stay away from the Million God...it is said to be one the MOST boring games out there. (Sorry Eddie )

    The Canada shipping thing IS the biggest issue... I've seen some great looking games on eBay, but the shipping for most is 140.00 and UP. That brings most of the prices to over 300...

    If anyone has any current connections to Canadian suppliers or can hook me up, I'd be forever greatful! ICanada doesn't seem to be that Pachismo-friendly and 'm SO itchy to start playing, it's not funny.

    :edit:

    What about Pachislot777's stuff on eBay? Aladdin Evolution for $99.00 (plus 140.00 shipping)... any thoughts?

    (and why doesn't anyone in Canada sell these???)

    Stealth Home Amusement in Rochester NY used to ship to Canada and they still may but since there is a new owner I have no idea.

    We also have a site listed in the vendor section of our research center called Canada Slot.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    I purchased my Sindbad Adventure through Canada slots and was quite happy with the transaction. I haven't seen them around lately though. They use to list frequently on e-bay. I think they might of had another name also...

    Here is the website. The are located in Ontario. It doesn't look like they have Pachislo's any longer. Looks like they only have pachinko machines.
