Small steel balls are inserted, in bulk, into the machine. These machines use a round "throttle" that merely controls how quickly an electrically fired plunger shoots the balls onto the playfield. The balls then drop through an array of pins, and usually simply fall through to the bottom, but occasionally fall into certain gates which make the machine pay out more balls. Most machines include a slot machine, and the big winnings are ultimately paid not from the balls falling into gates, but from the slot machine matches that follow.

Our slot machines have been converted to use standard electrical outlets in the United States and also use tokens instead of real coins. Each of the Pachinko Slot Machines offered on our web site has been imported directly from the Ginza casinos of Japan. As the Japanese gamers become familiar with each machine, they begin to become disinterested in it and also start to learn all of the "tricks" of that machine. For that reason, the machines are replaced with new units to keep them "fresh". We acquire these machines in very good condition. They aren't used for long before they are shipped to us, and you can tell this by the quality of the machine. All machines are given a thorough test and repaired to bring them up to perfect operational capability. Once machines are disassembled and cleaned with a special cleaning solution and the cabinet given a fresh coat of paint, we package it in a special carton to protect it on the way to your gameroom. Each of our machines comes with a 90 day warranty to guarantee that there are no defects in workmanship or materials. You also get tech-support by phone when you purchase a machine. Each Pachinko Machine is shipped with a ball bucket and 400 balls.
