My second machine contenders

[C-M-K]

I have really been enjoying the Namco Collection and am looking for a second machine. It's a packed ring with six contenders this time around. I have seen gameplay videos of all of them and still cannot decide.

First, Namco Collection 2. Do I want 2 Namco games? And is the screen actually larger than Namco 1?

Second, this Garo is back. The screen is huge and it has the pop up head.

Third, this one must be popular for a reason. Nice frame and large screen too.

Fourth, this other Sea Story with a larger screen and a really cool spinning light bar. It has some sort of timed feature, and if that goes off and makes noise in attract mode this one is immediately ruled out. https://www.a-pachinko.com/SHOP/sanyo206.html
Fifth, Ultraman is back. It too has the pop up head and massive screen, but it makes a loud noise when starting up and I need to know what that is.

And finally, this one. On the expensive side, makes a strange rattling noise during the win sequence, unknown how big the screen is, but it's really popular in parlors.

Which one of these is the best? Help me decide again!

I don't really know any of these games, but if it were me I probably wouldn't get Namco 2..I think it'd be more fun to have something totally different!!

I really like the Garo machines, but the odds on that thing would make for long dry spells between fevers. One other thing you may want to consider is what cells are compatible with the frame. It is a lot cheaper to just buy a cell that you can swap into the frame when you want to play a new theme and the cells take up a lot less space than entire machines. Just something to think about. I really like the Fortune frame because it has so many great titles and you can literally swap them out in less than a minute.

Clover collectables has Garo, two versions of it, free shipping, located in NC or SC, and many other machines, check there website

Sorry, I won't help you pick, your on your own for that

All Kyoraku machines make that noise during start up. Its built into the program.

2 machines are out, Ultraman and Namco 2. 2 more must go. You made a good decision for me last time, I am hoping for another one!

[lotsoballs]

Lol, not another “help me decide” thread again?! As previously suggested, I’d just watch videos of them and buy what theme you like. That vendor is way overpriced. Clover or JT Comatz offers much better deals.

Have you played your Namco machine yet?

[Drunkenclam]

I'd probably skip the lot and get Lum's Love Song.

[Goobie777]

If you are into more of the horror games, have you thought of one of the newer ring machines?

edit: we plan on dropping a best of video for the pachinkos of 2021 soon, so you might want to be on the lookout for that video, it may give you an idea of what you want to buy.

It is a fun one! Not quite Juicy Honey 2 fun; but a very cool machine!

I'm looking for a game that does huge win streaks and has a big screen above everything else. I've set my Namco up with a ball lifter that I got dirt cheap and a tray that sends winning balls back to the lifter, which means no refilling, and it allows for more massive wins. I saw a thread with biggest wins on here and I'm looking to get on it.

[takethecastle57]

Watch the YouTube videos of the machine or like I did we have a member posting the new pachinko and pachislo machines right on this Forum and I Really , Really wanted the "D-Clock" Pachinko after I saw it posted on this Forum and about two years after it came out Modern Pachinko got me one for a good price and the shipping was excellent . Just my 2 cents

odds make win streaks, 1/99 your going to win more often, but fevers are short, 1/399 win less often, but you win alot, and fever rounds last 15 rounds

[Drunkenclam]

Choosing a theme:

Drunkenclam- Does it have a bunny girl?
Yes= Buy it.
No= Don't buy it

I still want to get Nao Oikawa Fruit Scandel back in the collection.

If you are really looking for a machine to get you on the hi scores, Gensan (https://www.p-world.co.jp/sp/kisyu.cgi?code=9168), has some of the hugest hits I have ever seen in parlors.

If you know what makes the rattling sound when it wins I could get this one.

It’s not so much of a rattling but the button pops in and out rapidly that’s what makes the rattling sound.
