    Default Newbie with a question

    Hey everyone, completely new to pachislo and just got my first machines. I have a victory lane machine made by Mecca enterprises I think. Few things I’m not sure if they are broken or just haven’t hit the right combo yet. I hit the 3 victory one symbols and nothing happens. I’d think any match of 3 would be some kind of win. Also it has a top wheel that lights up but doesn’t spin. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi , Welcome to Pachitalk!

    Mecca Enterprises is the importer that brought the machine to the States from Japan, not the manufacturer. I see a "victory" machine in the database, but not "victory lane". How about some pics of the machine? Thanks

    Thanks for the response. The machine looks similar to another machine of mine just not sure how to fix the top wheel. Assuming they all work mostly the same. Here are some pics. Thanks for any help.

    This appears to be a Continental "XXXX" (as in four reels) manufactured by Aruze that has been converted to a stock car theme.

    I've seen a few of these machines re-themed to more American-centric themes with varying degrees of completeness. The original machine is kind of generic so I'm not surprised these were reworked so frequently by importers. Looks like they went a little further on yours by putting "Victory Lane" stickers (?) over the XXXX symbols on the reels. The thing is on this machine, the XXXX symbols ("Victory Lane" in the case of your machine) do not result in any winning combos in any configuration.

    Pachislo Database has a ton of info on this machine in English:

    https://www.pachislodb.com/db-CONTINENTAL+XXXX.html

    (you will have to make a free account to see the full page)

    The winning combos for this machine are:
    -Three red 7's or three green 7's (pays 15 credits and enters Big Chance)
    -Three mixed 7's (pays 15 credits and enters Bonus Game)
    -Green 7 and JAC-JAC or JAC-JAC-JAC while in the Bonus Game pays the bonus payout of 15 credits per hit, probably center line only
    -Three red apples or three green apples (pays 15 credits)
    -Cherry and Anything-Anything (pays 1 credit)
    -JAC-JAC-JAC awards a replay, basically a re-spin of whatever the last bet configuration was

    Here's a video (not mine) of the machine without the re-theming:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LINAZUdvLZg

    You may want to peel those worn stickers away from the top of the machine (to the left and right of the top reel) to better expose the light show behind them, as they won't dampen the re-theming any. This machine actually has a lot of bonus modes, the link above goes into detail on how they work.

    I also want to say thank you for posting simple, complete, clear pictures of your machine. It's so much easier to help people when we can see what they have!
