You could make a bed out of the machines - that way, you might be able to squeeze another 10+ in?!? Result!

If you have a Super BackJack it will take English 2 pence coin without conversion. There are fifty of these to 1 English Pound - Therefore cheaper than Tokens and legal in the UK for home use. 50 of these are equilvalent to around $1.73!

Although the above does work - I do enjoy the "original" pachi feeling and use token's myself - for authenticity sake.

I think the best thing really that if you are looking to save currency in a slot machine then you buy a traditional UK pub type fruit machine which are easily obtainable for home use from a licenced seller, but damn heavy to pick up.

Paschilo is a skill machine rather than a gambling device and the whole culture surrounding Paschilo is that they are token fed with tokens that can be changed for prizes. It almost seems like blasphamy to convert a Paschilo machine to coinage, i guess it depends how passionate you are about keeping Paschilo pure to its origins. (it wasnt so long ago in the UK that fruit machines had a maximum payout before paying in tokens, which could be changed for goods in arcades or beer in pubs and the same concept existed of exchanging tokens for goods) believe it or not, i can remember this was a maximum payout of 50pence, anything above you got tokens.

I have no doubt that Paschilos are easily converted to take 10 pence but what the dudes are saying on here is that "we are not advocating this information to something that can ruin a damn fine hobby, and are US cousins have stricter regulations on gambling than us Brits (maybe their ethics are something we should consider, gambling can cause many recked lives from addiction).

I may be getting on the soap box, but Paschilo is for fun, not for saving cash, getting your mates around at the barbecue to rid them of their change. Keep a box of spare tokens about and let them play for free paschilo and so they can spread the word of what i consider to be not only a sport, a hobby, but fantastic pieces of furniture to boot. Gambling only pays when youre winning.
