pachi/pachinko?

[pachiwall]

I once saw for sale a 3 reel pachi machine that used pachinko balls instead of tokens.Is this common or unusual? I wanted to buy, but $99 + $200 shipping, I had to pass. Will I likely see another one?

That would be a palot..Over the past few years a few companies tried to get them to catch on but I don't think they did..I think the idea was to allow pachinko only parlors to also have slots without having to invest in token and pachislo stuff..

I can think of less than a dozen different models that came out and only one Sankyo one made it to the US in any quantity..Most likely the one you saw..And they still come up on ebay from time to time..

Several members have that one and seem to enjoy it and will hopefully be able to answer any questions you have about it..

I think it is very cool, and would like to have one. Let me know if any members need to sell one.

I think the Ebay seller might still have a few of them, so it might come up again on Ebay, but shipping is the killer on it. The palots also take a lot of pachinko balls to play.
