    Default Help Looking for Things

    This is my first post so here goes. I just bought an Indiana Jones and my son gave me a real nice Glory Ball Pachinko and a nice model B pachinko .
    Can anyone help me with any written material besides what is posted here (which is a great help). I had the machine playing and the chance light came on for the first time and i missed it before i could push the button. Still wondering what i missed.

    Looking for a little advice. Am looking at buying a silver and gold Cal neva one dollar train model. It takes an eisenhower dollar to play or the slot tokens the casinos use. Can anyone tell me where to get that big a slot token? Does anyone know how many dollars it takes to fill that huge rolling drum? Does anyone know how much upkeep for one of these. They are at least 30 years old and have been heavily played. And my last question does anyone know where to get a manuel for one of them? Thank you

    Looked on ebay but they want to sell them as antiques for more than a dollar. Does anyone know where i could find some cheap slugs that would work?

    now you know why they want to sell it, Ike dollars would even cost you more than a dollar now. unless they are throwing in a bunch of tokens with the sale i would pass.

    My grandparents neighbor had a dollar slot back in the 1970's when they lived in Vegas, If I remeber correctly I beleive he said it would hold about $500 worth of coins. Don't remember the model but only that it took dollar coins.

    After further consideration and checking around the dollar machine is not a very good option for me. I fell in love with it because I played it for many years in the Cal-Neva thirty years ago and many years since and it was the gold n silver train machine. I am still looking at other machines but have limited space. Any way that is what my wife says. I am looking on getting one so I will keep you in mind. Thank you Don

    Technically, all you missed was an additional animation.

    I used to think that NOT hitting the chance button was a death sentence for your chances, but having played on a few machines where the chance button was broken, it turns out that this isn't the case.

    All the chance button does on most machines is give you a visual or audible clue as to how good your chances of winning the spin are.

    However, if anyone has time and a machine they're familiar with... Would someone mind not hitting the chance button at all for a few wins? Might be nice to confirm.
    Currently Own: Nothing. I play mostly online now.

    Threads, can only closed by an Admin or a Moderator,

    the only threads that can be closed by a user are the technical support threads.

    in general we do not close threads here on PT, as we sometimes start discussions on long dead topics..
