Yes the same machines and are highly adictive. I got mine today super cheap from ebay but with only 400 balls. NEED alot more balls so I dont have to keep getting up every 3-5 minutes. I got the super jackpot on it today (lucky me) and my son was going nuts trying to keep the bins full and we actually ran out 😛

1000 + the 400 I have should do me just fine I hope 😀

yes, it's not pinball 😛... you drop tons of balls down little chutes in an attempt to get a ton of points and cool flashing lights

He is refering to the giggle sticks 2 buddies 😛
 
Sweet...my pops has one of these, makes lots of noise, doesn't really make sense because it's not in english, but it's fun for a few minutes....
 
Sorry to crap on your thread OP but pachinko balls are nothing more than ball bearings. So go to a local hardware store with one in hand, match up the size, and you will have as many "pachinko" balls as you want for a lot less money.
 

My Dad had one and I was just fascinated with it when I was 6 or 7. I think I busted it and he got rid of it at a garage sale. Oh well.

Not true because they are made like casino chips and coins and need to be a of a certin diameter, weight, and metal.

If that was true like you say then every Japanese in the parlors would be hitting the harware store and bringing thier own cheating the system 😛

Yeah I forgot ab out that as well because they are marked. And fun for awhile FUN FOR AWHILE????????

Mine has a video screen that rotates and a button I have to press really fast to get to go into the jack pot round. This thing is a ton of fun and better then I remeber as a kid playing the non computerized one 😀
 
This was a while ago... no computer or anything like that. Little levver on the lower right to shoot a ball up into the machine. My brother and I broke it beyond out abilities to repair. We tried calling around to see if anyone could fix it. Almost no one has a clue what we were talking about. This was "more than a few" years ago.

Edit - ours looked A LOT like this one

Thats what I remeber as a kid playing at my uncles house. Just kept wacking that lever to watch the balls go everywhere. The one I have is for adult. The knob shoots the ball hard or soft and you have to find a happy place to get the balls down the middle shoot to activate jackpot and get rewarded with more balls. Really need to look at the new ones now. Star wars, ET, Jurassic Park, all kinds of themed ones out now. I could afford one but didnt want to waste my money since it was so long since I played. Now I wish I got the Lord of the rings Machine 😛

I got this one.

Wanted this one but didnt want to pay more for fear it may have just sucked.

I was wrong and should of gotten it instead but Im still having a ton of fun with the one I got. I really like how the screen moves and the picture stays when it goes into jackpot . Very freaking cool 😀
 
I remember playing this when I was a kid. I kept taking the marbles out and playing with them getting the folks mad. Oh the good old days.

Actually, winning money from pachinko is not legal in Japan. If you go to a parlor and win balls from a machine, they don't give you money for them. You only win a particular "prize." It just so happens that there are little booths just around the corner from every pachinko place that accepts these "prizes" for money. Very convenient.

You can win money from horse racing there, I think. I went to the races once but never won so I don't know what happens 🙂

 
i never understood pachinko.. you just drop the balls in then a bunch of lights go off and you get more or less balls comming out of the chute depending on what things you hit? are there even paddles like a pin ball machine? is it like slots where you put a bunch of balls in and just hit the button till you're out?

The one I got is alot like a mixture of Jap pinball and electronic slots. If it goes down the middle shute I get more balls and it starts the slot machine. If I match the numbers on the slots I have to keep shooting balls and smack a button really fast to get it to go into jackpot mode. Sometimes I get it hitting fast enough but most of the time though my hands give out and cant smack it fast enough to keep it going.

If you like pinball (which I do), slot machines (which I do), and Japanese animation with lights and sounds going like mad (which I do) then I highly reccomend you look into getting one of these newer machines. A ton more fun and adult geared compaired to the mechanical one I remember playing as a child.
