Lucky Pachinko Parlor

[azlew]

I think if I was the owner of this parlor I would have Arby the Kugishi "Master Nail Bender" pay a visit and tighten things up around there.

Migosh, what a bunch of balls those folks have won!

What an optimist you are TJ. Here I was thinking they merely purchased them.

Sure you did, Tulsa.
Those trays aren't just half full, they're plumb full!

I thought the players had purchased the trays of balls too. But are they winnings? After seeing all those trays of balls, I'm glad my first Pachinko is going to be a cyclic.

Are the parlors kept at a very cool temperature? Everyone seems to be wearing fairly heavy coats.

I was surprised to see that the center floor mat in the top picture had English wording rather than Japanese.

What is the purpose of those fans/markers sticking out of the trays?

Lew, thanks for posting these pics.

the things sticking out of the trays say basically like they hit a fever mode or something i believe. Arby can probably clarify this.

What type of machine they won on, so others will play the same style of machine and hopefully lose.

I was in the area of being right but a little off! im working on getting right

[Lazarus]

I have never seen any of those cases Before. Do you think they are new and we have not gotten them here yet? I like that candy apple red one!. Do the balls look like they are gold colored?

[arbycoffee]

the dark red one is "Boar Wood of Peace by Heiwa 2004" I got one it has an all alumim frame no wood.

That's no big deal; I've seen straight 40 and 50 box payoffs before. The highest straight payoff I've had myself was 35...I wish I still had that picture.
