Newbie with a question

[Drinkingducky]

This appears to be a Continental "XXXX" (as in four reels) manufactured by Aruze that has been converted to a stock car theme.

I've seen a few of these machines re-themed to more American-centric themes with varying degrees of completeness. The original machine is kind of generic so I'm not surprised these were reworked so frequently by importers. Looks like they went a little further on yours by putting "Victory Lane" stickers (?) over the XXXX symbols on the reels. The thing is on this machine, the XXXX symbols ("Victory Lane" in the case of your machine) do not result in any winning combos in any configuration.

Pachislo Database has a ton of info on this machine in English:

The winning combos for this machine are:
-Three red 7's or three green 7's (pays 15 credits and enters Big Chance)
-Three mixed 7's (pays 15 credits and enters Bonus Game)
-Green 7 and JAC-JAC or JAC-JAC-JAC while in the Bonus Game pays the bonus payout of 15 credits per hit, probably center line only
-Three red apples or three green apples (pays 15 credits)
-Cherry and Anything-Anything (pays 1 credit)
-JAC-JAC-JAC awards a replay, basically a re-spin of whatever the last bet configuration was

Here's a video (not mine) of the machine without the re-theming:

You may want to peel those worn stickers away from the top of the machine (to the left and right of the top reel) to better expose the light show behind them, as they won't dampen the re-theming any. This machine actually has a lot of bonus modes, the link above goes into detail on how they work.

I also want to say thank you for posting simple, complete, clear pictures of your machine. It's so much easier to help people when we can see what they have!

thank you so much. This is awesome and helps a ton.
