Good Modern pachinko that's affordable

[_Zaphod_]

There's so many of these to be found, and i'm not made of money.

Ideally i want it to be

0) ready for USA wall power, and ready to go on plugin.
1) accessible to english speakers. I shouldn't need to know japanese to enjoy it. I'm well aware this is unlikely, but I don't want to be missing too much because i don't know the language. SO ideally a non anime theme.
2) cost under 1k to get. The cheaper the better.
3) have volume mod so it's not loud enough to wake the dead.
4) not suck. (shouldn't be hard)

I have only played vintage pachinko, and while it is fun, modern ones have much more to them i think.

It's also easier to get pachinko than pachislots in my state.

Any recomendations for good and affordable modern pachinko?

keep an eye on your local face book market place / craigslist

Clover Collectables or Modern Pachinko should have something within your budget that has a US transformer and volume controls installed. You probably want a "light version" with more frequent fevers and smaller payouts to avoid "suck" or the feeling that it is too hard to win balls. As far as English language you're most likely out of luck there. They are made for the Japanese market where a lot of people do not speak English so menus, commands, screen prompts/subtitles, and voice prompts or in game dialogue are mostly Japanese. Most people outside of Japan that play pachinko do not speak Japanese and seem to be able to figure things out and have a good time playing without knowing the language. I am sure you will be fine.

There are no cheap non-anime themed newer (less than 10 years old) available from US vendors; Clover does have an older Sea Story… how fun it is to play for hours on end? Not sure; but I doubt as fun as racier themed digipachis or more skill based hanemonos.

If you are coming from a vintage machine; you first need to decide what type machine you want:

Type 1: digipachi; your standard pachinko with lcd or led spinning numbers or symbols to match

Type 2: hanemono; skill based, 2 balls in play needed to start fever, far more frequent payouts; lower payouts however than type 1 typically

Type 3: kenrimono, skill based, “rights based” a sequence of targets must be activated to start the fever; only for the experts

JT Comatz has low prices and there’s a group shipment to save big time on shipping costs in the FB pachinko club.

My advice; do not cheap out and just get whatever machine is cheapest; do your research and find a machine/theme that suits you, don’t avoid the Non-US themed Pachinkos as they are usually better anyway!
