Yeah, I gotta admit one of the scariest things I had to do was drive across LA in freeway traffic with 3 pachinkos delicately 'balanced' in the back seat/trunk of my car... Every car was a potential accident that I had to avoid...

(More so than usual, that is...)

So that was 24 hours ago And YES I got two "real" Pachinkos !!! Although, "I got", changed to "we got" and after setting things up my wife and her friend thoroughly enjoyed themselves on the Saint Maria one. I kinda had to pull her away from it, so I could get a go. Hehe, cool !! She is HOOKED aswell. I better start planning an extension to the house


But seriously, I had never seen a modern pachinko and I must say they are lovely in design. They are flashing away behind me now and ever so often, the fireworks lights up or the Maria gives a wave of colored lights and a little mozart, to lure me back and roll some balls. Sweet !!!

Also the previous owner has taken good care of both of em. They are spotless and shiney and are put into two lovely black painted casings. Also they have modification on volume control and automatic payout to start a game. The Maria has 4 hidden "cheat" buttons, in case you don't have the patience to wait for balls hitting pockets, but it's much more fun to just play along.

The huge screened Hanabi (if i got the name right), has a faulty ball-exit and loses balls all over the place, so we haven't really had a good go on that one. Plenty of times to come and enjoy that one too though.

Well, so far on my "new" pachinkos. Actually thanks to you guys, who introduced me to the world of Pachinko, I never thought it would be this fun !

I wish I could say it stops there, but soon every room in the house will have at least one! I have 2 in the livingroom, 1 in the bedroom, and the next will occupy the other half of the bathroom counter! The studio said I could bring a couple in, as long as they don't make too much noise. Um, yeah... about that.
