Church Festival with Pachislos

[kate]

Imagine my surprise when I went to a church festival this past weekend and in the gambling area they had 10 pachislo machines set up. As I was sitting there playing blackjack, I watched the crowd go up and play these machines for about an hour. No one was winning anything so the settings must have been high. I didn't recognize any of the machines other than dream seven max and most of them looked English. They were also token only machines--I should have went home and brought my own tokens to play.

how did they accomplish this? were the tokens 25c to buy and then they trade them back in? This is intriguing... i'd make sure to watch until the advace notice of the bonus is coming up then play when one of the others leaves the machine and cash in!!!

They sold the tokens there for 25c each. The most I saw anyone win I think in that hour was 15 tokens! But I was concentrating on my blackjack also. I thought it was pretty funny also that above each machine, they had a sign that said they don't report winnings to the IRS. I don't think I'd report $3.75 either.

Gambling for the Lord.

It must have been a Catholic Church!!!!!

[kate]

Of course it was a Catholic Church. I wonder if God sent them those Pachislos?

I seen a million god in a store window that was showing the prises for a church raffle. I guess someone figured out it wasn't good for much else!

LOL, well, I own a party rental business, thats why I bought my machines, and have them rented out already. I am offering the tokens with the machine, will set each one at level 3, and what they do with the tokens as far as selling them or what not, I do not care. I guess I could offer them at a ower skill level, and they would still make money. Someone would be bound to hit the bonus and win. Make the night interesting.

You'd be sickened at what I charge, LOL

akaReaper : One time we rented a pachislo that I owned(Sakura) that I wanted to get rid of(too much Japanese) to my girlfriends work and we ended up gettin' a chunk of dough for the rental and then someone at her work turned around and bought it for twice what I bought for

You are right :

There are gold in thar hills/Pachislos !!
