umi itiban by Yamasa

[discuspro]

I just bought a umi itiban and it is in pretty much brand new shape. I'm not sure of all of the functions since it is mostly all printed with Japanese instructions. I've gotten down some basics of the machine, how to reset it, and change the difficulty. There are some switches on the power supply that I'm not sure what they do. Also it only lets me spin the reels if I put three tokens in at a time. Is there any way to change that? I knotice the "game over" light along with the 12 lights under the special label have not lit up yet but I haven't hit the big bonus game yet, so maybe they will work when that happens. The machine, I guess, is made by Yamasa and I was wondering if I could get very detailed instructions or something that may help me know everything there is about this machine written in English?

Here's a pic of my machine




Sorry, I'm new so please excuse if I'm repeating a question that may have been asked more than once.

Tip section answers a lot of Q's and the pachislo Ink. Link section has manuals

This machine is a max bet only machine which means it only works with 3 tokens. The 2 switches on the power supply one makes it so you have to reset the machine after a big bonus and the other makes it so that the machine will spit out all of your credits after a big bonus. Detailed instructions really do not exist with these machines. welcome.

Hey I was born and raised in Binghamton, NY, which is not to far from Rochester, but now I'm in hottern' heck Texas.

Are there any mods to make this machine take one or two tokens to play? Really, why would they have a "bet" button if you can't actually adjust the bet?

[RKnarr01]

There are no mods to make this machine 1 or 2 bet. Binghamton NY is that just south of syracuse?

Yup, about. Do you know when the game over light comes on? And also when do the 12 special lights come on? Do the reels slow down with the easier skill level or what really makes it easier?

[RKnarr01]

I dont have this machine so im not familiar with it but i believe the reels spin at a consistent speed no matter what the skill level but when you set it to level 6 the highest payout it's easier to win because the odds of you hitting a winning combination increase because the reels 'slip' out of winning combinations less. im not sure if i explained this right but if i didnt someone will correct me!

I found some directions at this link: http://www.pachinkomuseum.com/gendai...ann/index.html

It's all in japanese, is there anyone that can translate or is there a way to make my Firefox v1.0 translate it?

[RKnarr01]

try going to www.google.com and use their tranlating tool.

the 12 lights are for your 3 bonus rounds

a light will go on in that row for each of the 8 stages in each bonus round.

if you don't hit the right reel combination it will still got the the next led light, you have 12 chances to get a payout of 15 tokens each.

but, you only win 8 x 15 tokens three times.

As for the game over light you were asking about, I believe that that light will only come on after a BB when the switch is set to require a reset. It will come on until the machine is reset and all functions of the game will be turned off.

Cool. You are all very helpful, thanks.
