    Default Outta the box, finally!

    Many of us claim we don't have room for another Pachislo or Pachinko. I'm one of those.

    However, if you try hard enough you can always find room for another pachi!

    It was my intention to convert my spare bedroom into a "casino," and with my nephew's help we were well on my way to doing just that. He has the shelving to go around the entire room that would hold all the machines. It was going to look nice, small, but nice.

    But I kept (and still do, just more selective) buying machines. Suddenly there wasn't enough room for 16 slots and 3 Pachinkos in that small "casino." Okay, move the Pachinkos out and make the casino all slots, which we did. Except there still isn't enough room for just the Pachislos. Not to play comfortably anyway. The only thing left is to get a bigger place, which I am slowley doing. Only a few minor repairs left to do on the house, plus remove a couple of trees.

    We moved the three Pachinkos into the living room, and here comes FedEx with the Dance Night from Gaku. No place to put the box except in the middle of the living room. And there it sat, and sat. Normally when a machine arrives Kyle comes by and sets it up as soon as it gets here. Not so with Dance Night. I didn't want to get it set up until I got a table to put it on, and made room for it.

    I got a sturdy little table I had loaned a neighbor back, perfect size for a Pachislo, better for a Pachinko. But beggars can't be too choosy. Yesterday nephew came by and we finally uncrated the Dance Night after sitting dormant in its box for over three weeks!

    Yes, it's in the living room, not the "casino," but I finally got to play it! Not a scratch on it, in fact it looks brand new. Volume control outside as only Gaku does, perfect!

    Dance Night seems like a great, fun machine, even though I've only run about a hundred tokens through so far. I'll eventually write my review of it and get some videos. But you know how that goes. So much to do, so little time!

    Tony, you can't have just one in the living room. It'll be lonely. Better get another so it has some company. Enjoy your new machine!

    I still think a Pachi couch or Pachi coffee table is the way to go! Get rid of that manufactured wood and fabric stuff! It's just taking up room better suited to Pachinko/Pachislos!

    hmmmm....................And if we use those roll up mats the Japanese use, we can put more in the bedrooms. I like your thinking compirate.

    I bought a Dance Night for my Mother-In-Law a few months back and it is a great IGT machine.
    The B&W LCD display on the right side is kind of cheesy but the music really gets you going.

    M Brad, if I recall, you got your Dance Night right before I got mine on the 22nd of August.
    Shame on both of us!

    Moved one of my machines today to finally get my Dance Night out of the box and put some play time on it. Nice over all machine. I like it's attract mode and the music is fun to listen to during the bonus round. Actually had me dancing a little. Nice colors and lights on the reels. I like when the reel area goes dark and the reels are backlit. Looks good in a dark room. The black and white video display has some strange scenes on it, like the weird guy in the dressing room you see in his underwear. The coin tray could be a little deeper, every once in awhile a token would go flying out of it.
    and a few others.
