    Looks like a Kyojin No Hoshi by Aristocrat. The gold and 2003 markings make me guess that it might be an anniversary edition of some kind with alternate art everywhere. Translating the sticker should get you more information in order to date it properly. I like your art better than the original.

    The gold case was used on other models too (I had a Speed Racer with that case)

    I remember this one had like a million different graphics!! The game was all the same.. It was more common back then to have two different belly glass graphics on a game, but this seemed excessive!!

    巨人の星 (Kyojin no Hoshi) Star of the Giants Based on this.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_the_Giants

    There have been like a dozen pachis based on this, but that pachislo was the first!! It came out in late 2002 and made by Aristocrat..

    And now looking it up, it came out in 6 different colorways!!

    $50 for a working machine is a great deal, especially if the machine has a gimmick. In this case it has the two bonus reels. Not a great gimmick, but still a gimmick.

    That said, the baseball theme does nothing for me personally and other than the gimmick it looks to be a pretty standard machine. It got pretty good ratings though, but I have no experience with this one.
