N00b Question. in regards to Super Deluxe Vintage Pachinko

[nailbender]

Hello all. I am a complete N00b to Pachi. I first saw them years ago in Sasebo Japan while I was in the Navy. I had fun with them then but never thought of them again until I saw one in a swap meet for $10.00. I bought it to fix up as I am pretty mechanical person and love this kind of tinkering. After that I bought a second one on eBay. A Super Deluxe that is a little newer and in much better condition. I have been tinkering with the one and rebuilding the other but I have come up with a question:

Are the jackpot payouts always the same no matter which special catch you go through? I have a main feature in the center of my Pachinko machines that is extreamly hard to get a ball into. But on those rare occasions that it does go in, it pays the same amount as any of the flowers or other catches. 15 Balls to be precise. It never varies. Should some of these jackpots pay more?

Thanks in advance. Like I said, complete n00b but I am hooked. (looking to buy a Star Wars or Julie soon to go with the two vintage machines in my gameroom. hehe.)

welcome to the site. i know on my machines most of the payout pockets are different. some pay more some pay less. the harder it is to get a ball in the pocket. the more its goin to pay out.. i am not sure about payout during a bonus round. the balls start flyin so fast that i cant count them..

star wars is a great machine. get it while you can. julie is also a good one to get. and are coming harder to find.

all of the vintage pachinkos I have payout the same for any hit but the center will open things to make it easier to get more payouts in a row

Thanks Owen. That is EXACTLY the way mine works. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't putting them together incorrectly or anything.
