I have put 1000 tokens through it and nothing...When do you hear the english speaking I heard about? Can any one who can tell me more about how it should act during gameplay? Thanks

When you stop any of the reels on the SL symbol you have a CHANCE of reaching a Spin Luck (Spin of the Wheel of Fortune). Like a said only a chance but you wont reach a SpinLuck without getting a SL symbol on at least one of the reels. So the object is to stop the reels on the SL symbols as many times as you can improving your chance of getting a spin of the wheel.

The speaking comes once in awhile during gameplay and also comes when reaching a Spin Luck (Spin of the Wheel).

If you set your odds to level 6 (The better player odds )you have a greater chance of reaching the SpinLuck.

1000 tokens isint really alot considering the machine is made for parlors and if it paid out large amounts or bonuses for every 1000 tokens played most likely there would be no parlors in a short time.

Keep playing, you will see.
Mine seemed the same way for the first couple days, then you will get a feel for the game.
Like Eddie said, a complete Spin Luck symbol (both halves together) in any position gives you a chance for a spin.
Sometimes it will give you a bonus round as well.
You want to bank 5 spins, then get a 6th, then spin them all in a row.
Follow the lights on the top left for which one to push and it will tell you hit red or black 7 on the left reel to raise your point total.

It is a great game, give it time, 1000 tokens is not very much

I just got mine on Tuesday and tonight is the first time I've been able to sit down and play it for a few hours. I also received a supply of 1,000 tokens today. Good thing, because Spin Luck warmed up to me tonight. I was kinda getting bored wondering how to get the bonus rounds and then I got a diagonal black 777 and it gave me a Big Bonus round! Man, it went from being asleep to like it had drunk a whole pot of coffee. then I was watching the seizure-like flashing blue LEDs on the 'Bonus Count' readout, which had some large number on it. It said "Jac-in" three times during the bonus round (which is 30 spins, not including the 'Jac-in' sub-games) and every time it said "Jac-in", the reels turned blue and I got 8 spins and it paid me 15 tokens every time and then went back to the main bonus game. Trust me, the tray was overflowing with tokens by the time I was done. Then I got the Spin Luck symbol a few times and the right side indicators did their 'tease' and it let me spin the bonus reel a few times and get mini bonus games (or whatever they're called). I realize you want to store those up and use them at the same time, but I couldn't help myself because I haven't seen the wheel spin yet. I think I got 100 on the 4th reel once. It was a blur. Now I'm really hooked. This game is very cool.

I guess because I was nice enough to completely clean the hopper and coin mechs tonight, it was feeling overly magnanimous.

Give it a chance. Once it gives you spins and a bonus round, you'll like it (and smile every time you hear the "Spinnnnnnnnn Luck" sound). If you don't, someone else here will buy it in a heartbeat, guaranteed.

It only talks during the bonus games when it assists or makes comments about what you get on the bonus wheel. Well, I did have it try to assist me once or twice during the normal game for one spin, but I have no idea what triggered it.

As for the extra spins, you need to learn to eye-shoot, especially the left reel. The normal game slips the reels, so it's hard to stop it where you want to. It does not do this in the bonus games and that's why there's three red and three black sevens on the left reel, it helps you 'shoot' it when the nice announcer tells you to in the mini-bonus games (which is after you spin the bonus wheel).

One thing I don't understand is when you're in the normal game and the lights on the indicators on the right (Spin Luck/Big Bonus/7BB/7BB) start to come on and make sounds when you hit certain combos, what does it mean when just one of the 7BB symbols stay on? Am I supposed to try to get that combo on the next spin?

Anyone know what it's doing when sometimes you get these weird-looking non-combos and it makes sounds and flashes, yet you get no tokens? I've seen like three different variations of this. Can't figure it out. One specifically makes a two tone trombone-like sound (low/high), the lights flash on the reels and then all the lights in the reel window go out for a second and come back on.

And I thought it wasn't supposed to give you three red or black 7's during the normal game, but hey, I ain't complaining. It was the highlight of my evening.

PS - watch the videos on youtube, read the instructions in the Museum (under IGT/Spin Luck) and read the Pachislo FAQs on gaktradinginc.com, for detailed information how the bonus games flow.

PPS - practice getting good at thumbing 15 tokens into the coin slot at a time, it's a hungry little four-letter-word.

Well I will say the stingy thing is getting better. I may have spoken prematurely, while I stil have not hit a bonus round I have hit many Spin Lucks and they are cool. The guy with the voice has woke up and I think I will really Like this game. I just gotta keep playing...like that is a problem

Actually, thumbing 10 tokens is about the limit on the ledge of the coin slot.

I have no idea how I got three black sevens and a Big Bonus even before I got to see what spinning the bonus wheel was like. Unfortunately, it probably won't happen again for a while. It was definitely noisy.

I just got my machine Last Saturday. When I got it home I started to play, and it seemed to take forever before I got to spin the wheel!
I also hit a big bonus round before the "Future Game" Wheel spin.
The next time I played it, I discovered that the odds level was set to 1 (The most difficult).
I changed it to 6, and what a difference that made!
I had 5 spins in stock in no time!
I also have to keep re-filling the hopper during each bonus round.
Time to buy some more tokens!

Seems to me the machine is easy to manipulate on 6 because I'm always trying to shoot the Spin Luck symbol on the right reel and then 7s on the left once I get the Spin Luck symbol. I end up getting a lot of wheel spins in stock. I'm probably going to set it to 3 or 4 for a while and see if it lets me do the same thing.

Still love this game. I've watched videos and played a bunch of other Pachislo machines and I only like Spin Luck so far. *shrug*
