    Default newbie question

    Hello everyone, I'm a newbie so you'll have to forgive the "obvious" questions I have. I had a maual pachnko about 20 years ago as a kid and recently purchased a modern pachinko from Ebay. It is a Viva Las Vegas slot pachinko, and I love it. I have read teh tips/tricks section on this site and answered most of my own questions, but the ones I have remaing are how do I figure out the make of the machine, and it was 2 little silver buttons loading tray, not the right terms I know, in front. Anyone know what they do? And it also has an interactive chance button on it as well which has yet to light up. I made it to round 15 on it, last round, but that last button never did anything. Thoughts?

    Also I looked in the museum, is that the best place to find reviews of machines? I am thinking of 1 more pachinko to round out my beginning pachi collection... just purchased 2 pachislos, can't wait for them to arrive!

    Oh, lastly an thoughts on the Horror mansion pachinko or Bungee pachinko? I cna't decide if I like the older style or newer LCD style better yet.

    Glad to be here!

    Hi Beth, welcome.

    The two buttons are basically "disabled" for home use, they are used in the pachinko parlor to get extra balls. You can buy a dongle in the auction to enable these buttons if you want.

    Horror Mansion is basically at the top of my list for my next one.

    Lots of info here and some very nice people are available to help out. Please check out the Pachinko section in the forums to begin with.

    Let us know when you get those Pachislos in! What did you get? And from whom?

    some frames have chance buttons, but, sometimes the cell in it doesn't use it.

    one frame is used for many differnet cells to cut down manufactoring cost.
