    Default New machine Question!

    I just got a brand new Pachinko machine it is a Maturi penguin I think it is 1 of there latest models.
    My question is there is a led number slot that you need to line up all 3 #'s to start the bonus, I have opened the glass and ran about 75 balls through the hole and finally the #'s lined up, is there a level of easy to set up on these new machines like Pachislo does?
    Thanks from a new owner!

    the only way to up your odds is to carefully spread the nails out a little by the center hole, so the balls go in easier.

    Lucky's right on bend the nails to open the gates a bit, will generate more spins, but upping the odds on the number of spins necessary to hit a bonus round is not something we know how to do or even if it's possible. I've had my Batman for two months and I still haven't seen a bonus round on it.

    My wife said, she understands hoe the Batman machine feels, It's been months for her too, going into her bonus rounds.

    I try, but can't do much in two min.s, it takes 90 sec.s just to get in bed at my age.

    Dear pmailley,

    Several pachinko games have a small led display with numbers that cycle and stop with the spin of a video display. If the video screen ever shows a winning combination, so will the small led.

    On my Sankyo Playboy Casino (aka Big Chime) game it appears that if I hit triple 7's on the video screen and triple 3's are shown in the small led display I win a smaller jackpot but if it displays triple 7's in the small led as well, it is the big whopper that will pay and pay and pay....

    I have a small led display above my large and larger led display on my thunderzone. It's only two numbers. Is this the led your referring to? I've always wondered what they were for.. :-?

    Tulsa,

    I believe they also function in the same way on your game.

    What I have to force myself to do when a bonus or fever kicks in, is to take a quick look at the entire playfield to check what displays were showing when the game hit.

    Sometimes the Playboy game will emit a whistling sound after a non-winning combination. I don't know if it is a warning that something good might happen(nothing did) or if it was just another attractor programmed to go off every once in a while.

    The good thing is that the games have all sorts of surprises built in which keep you playing.

    On the upper right side of the center area I have two numbered leds's that seem to spin as the reels are spinning but I've not seen the connection yet but I also have an X and O lights and two green led's on the left side that alternate off and on and sometimes both are lit. I've always believed these to be flipper indications but I'm not sure.
