I dunno, Mike. It looks like it might be an old original.

But what do I know!

Looks like an older original to me too.

I'd ask more questions if i were you but it looks legit although its hard to tell from the distance the pics are taken from . also i think theres a limit to pay out size on these machines by law (i think its 15 tokens per spin hence the mulitpule spins needed to win a BB) so im intrested to see what it does with a double diamond hit ......if it werent so expensive id buy it my self its not that far away from me.

I would say with 99% certaintity that it's an original. If you look close you can see that the tags are still there with almost all custom machines they dont leave the tags / cutouts for the tags in place.

I noticed that also Rich. Thats what threw me off, was that japanese tags were on it.

I'm kinda curious too as to how close it plays to the american slots... Dunno. maybe its old enough and possibly they didn't have the 15 max payout law.

Well, the IGT Red, White, and Blue pachislo doesn't play like the American slots.
It plays like a pachislo.

As far as this Double Diamond goes, it's a 1998 issue from IGT.
Here's the link to their website that shows machines from 2000 and before.

Comparing the pics, I'd say this is an original.
So.... you gonna get it?

the pawn shop by me has a IGT Popper KIng 1998, they want 269.00 and one lense is broken with a sticker over it.
