Just fought off Darth Vader and I'm exhausted.

What a marathon session. After complaining that my machine was so tight, It paid out tonight in unbelievable fashion.

I ended up winning a total of 31312 balls and netting 18706.

Had an amazing number of Kukuhen bonuses in a row. Then the machine finally it a Jiten bonus and I went into 100CR mode, and hit another Kukuhen bonus while in 100CR mode which led to several others. Finally ran out of steam after 100CR had ended and I had won a total of over 31312 balls netting over 18000 Since I net usually around 1800 balls per fever round and my first fever came when I was about -1500, I figure I had 10 or 11 fevers back to back.

I don't know if I'll ever see another string like it. Even my Gaku Counter said "enough already".

Ok, I get it...

Having been a "vintage" guy for years, I railed against modern pachinkos stating that they had "lost their roots" and had become "glorified slot machines". While my statement is still true, I have to admit, last nights "fever fest" was some of the most exciting and enthralling pachinko I have played in my lifetime. I don't think it would be physically possible for me to rack up an +18000 ball surplus on my 71 Vintage even if I played for ten times the length.

Don't get me wrong...I still enjoy my Vintage 71 "A" and I enjoy fixing them up even more. There is a satisfaction that is hard to describe when you finish restoring a dirty, water-stained old pachinko machine, bringing it back to near factory new appearance. But for fun factor alone, I doubt I will ever experience the rush I did for those 4 hours last night hitting fever after fever after fever.

If I was ever straddling the fence, last night pushed me over. I think I've crossed over to the "Dark Side". For game play alone, a modern is simply hard to beat.

Lucky,

I'm going to be in your neck in the woods in October. I have some business in St. Pete. I might give you a wave as I drive by.

Congratulations! So how much would that 18000 cash out in yen?

[p.opus]

Well. When I started, I assumed that I rented 3000 balls. That was what my "bankroll" would have been. 3000 balls at 4 yen per ball would have been 12000 yen or 120.00.

I was going to play until my counter reached a net value of -3000. This would mean I lost all my entire initial bank and any winnings I had accumulated up to that point.

Instead, I netted +18706 so if you add my 3000 initial stake, then I would have actually cashed out 21706 total balls.

21706 * 2.5 yen a ball exchange means I would have cashed out 54265 yen ($542.65). So I would have walked out with 42264 yen profit ($422.65)
