Congrats on your first pachinko!!

Here's a link to a useful guide that will explain modern day operation

PachiTalk Research Center - FAQ - Pachinko - Pachinko - Modern Day Operation - PachiTalk


I am presuming your model is this 1st Pink Panther made by Fuji around 2004:

(there was also this later one Pink Panther 2 made around 2006):

Your machine should come already with a 'dongle' of sorts (if it is a CR Card Reader machine, most of the machines that made it to the west are CR type, you can usually tell by looking at the front and there should be 2 buttons on the play tray)

You can play pachinko like that with the 'dongle' that comes with it, or if you really want to have more of a parlour experience and enable those 2 buttons to work, then you could do what many members here do and invest in a 'Daverob Dongle' invented and sold by member daverob

Lots of links to videos in my post link here:

but I may as well post the link so you can add it to your information on this one
