Pachislo Machines also called Japanese skill-stop slot machines are similar to traditional (auto-stop) slot machines in the US, except with Pachislo, the player uses three buttons to stop the reels, which requires some skill. The machine accepts tokens and has features such as an LCD screen, music and extra reels, which enhances the standard reel play. The spin knob on a Pachislo machine is located on the front of the cabinet –instead of a handle on the side on a traditional slot machine. These machines are used, but have been re-conditioned in Japan. When new, these machines wholesaled for $3500 and up. They are high quality and built to withstand continuous play common in Japans 24/7 Parlors. All Japanese Pachislos in the USA were
first used for a period up to 2 years maximum (by Japanese law) but usually much
sooner and then shipped here to the States. Because of this previous use, there may be minor cosmetic defects. Our machines are fully tested by a technician before being shipped to you.
What You Need To Know About Pachislos
The word is pronounced as 'Pa-Chi-Su-Ro' and 'Pachi-Slo' in Japanese and
English respectively. Pachislo is derived from the words, "Pachinko" and "Slot."
Pachislos are valid casino equipments with lively illumination and animating
sounds. Some Pachislos may have LCD monitors and/or extra reels, referred to as
the 4th reel, to improve play. They can have up to five varieties of lines and
receives 1-3 tokens in a single play. These machines are intended for
tokens-in/tokens-out play, but many models can be switched to take quarters.
However, this may be illegitimate in some states even if the purpose is for home
use.
Difference between Las Vegas Slots and Pachislos
Slot machines found in most Las Vegas casinos are auto-stop machines, which
mean that the reels automatically stop turning. A skill stop machine like the
pachislo requires that the spinning of each reel be manually stopped by a player
by pushing the appropriate button below individual lines of reel. In a way, this
provides the player the ability to manipulate the result which is the reason why
skill-stop machines are legitimate in many states.
Conversely, pachislos requires no amount of skill. Once the reels are turned,
random number generation on the primary board will determine whether you are a
winner.
It is quite noticeable that the pachislo has its spin knob located on the
front rather than the standard pull chrome lever found on Las Vegas slot
machines.
The major difference lies in the payouts. In Vegas slots, the whole jackpot
is given out in the coin tray at once. On the other hand, in the pachislo,
players are assured of winning a particular amount of tokens, commonly 360
tokens. However, the tokens are given over a succession of next spins in
throughout the "Big Chance" or extra period, which depends on the Type.
TYPE A - The "Big Chance" period guarantees the player 24 definite winning
spins totaling 360 tokens. The round is divided into 3 sets guaranteeing 8
victories within the first and second round; and again between rounds 2 and 3 as
the music changes; in this bonus period, the odds of drawing a higher
combination is enhanced. The round continues until you get a free turn or
"replay" combination. Winning up to five hundred tokens is a possibility in the
"Big Chance" play option which also depends on the level of your skill when
stopping the reels in the extra period between rounds.
TYPE B - (Challenge Game)- The "Big Chance" round follows the same format as
the TYPE A machine, except that if the "Bonus" light is illuminated when you
come to the "Big Chance" round, you are entitled to 201 successive spins. You
can receive up to 750 tokens and the whole "Big Chance" portion may last from 15
to 20 minutes
