    Default Gen San is the flashiest, or is it

    I've been looking at various machines I could have bought and this one strobed more than any other, or at least I noticed it more in videos. What's up with that and are there any that are even flashier?

    pick machines on theme you like, they all flash lights, they all have special features, but if you don't like the theme, you will hate machine, 75% of time playing is boring screen time of spinning numbers with pictures of theme you choose, you gotta like the theme or you will get bored waiting for reaches and fevers, here a hint, odds on machine you purchased (Namco) are 1/89 better way of saying it is you win once, you lose 88 times, so 88 spins of numbers not matching, can you win more, yes, can you lose more, yes, as you look at more machines, the odds change, 1/99 or close are best home machines, you win more, don't have to fill top tray as much, fevers last a couple minutes, all around fun, if you buy a machine that says 2000+ pay out, well the odds are now like 1/399 or similar, and same deal, win 1 lose 388, get how it works, so theme is by far most important in picking machines

    if you find a local pick up, and it looks like a good deal, buy it, if it sucks, and kinda boring, sell it, but importing machines, paying top dollar, you better like it, because chances of getting money back are not that great, I got Jaws 2 for just under 50% of what someone else paid, he didn't like it, so sold for what offer he could get, lucky for me, it was very high on list on wants

    I have no intention of buying this machine. I just think it's the most lights I've seen on one and was wondering if there were any that had more and brighter.

    Juicy Honey 2 is likely to cause those prone to seizures to drop to the floor convulsing if you get a fever it’s got so many LEDs flashing/strobing ect.


    Even the original Juicy Honey is heavy on the strobe flashing; however that seems like the most arbitrary metric ever to judge a pachinko on.

    That's because I'm trying to rule out the flashiest of the bunch for my next machine.

    Get an old 90s machine then…or better yet 70’s model …unless 9v bulb is “too flashy”

    Japanese Anime since the 1980's has been Strobe Happy and alot of video games have warnings of possibility of seizures .

    Amber Tinted Glasses or Blue light blocking glasses help keep your vision .
