Got one

[madazam]

Hi guys,
I just got a modern pachinko machine and I wanted to ask if anybody has the same machine or at least can tell me how they actually work
The exact model is Gundam 3 last shooting.

Is it working normally, shooting balls??

If so and you have the back hopper full and a some balls in the front tray..Just turn the knob and shoot!!

I've never played that pachi, but most pachis play the same way except a few like kenri and hanemono type machines..

The main thing you are trying to do is to get balls in the start pocket which will cause the numbers on the screen to spin, if you match three numbers then another door or area will open and thats where you want to shoot now to win lots of balls!!

[madazam]

Thank you.
Yes, it works properly. Just would like to know what's going on when we play with it

[MrGneiss]

Feel free to post any specific questions you have and hopefully someone will be able to answer!!

[madazam]

Thank you! I will take a couple of pictures a post it.

Ok let's start with this one.What's about those 5 numbers?
The last three of those numbers are the last three number the machine gave me. The top one is how many "rolls" I still have, but what about the red zero?

Probably the second tulip couter (if it has one) opens during bonus and if sub roulette was successful

[madazam]

Thanks. Yes, it is always on zero. Finally yesterday we were able to get three same numbers, but I didn't pay attention to that number, too much was going on on the screen

And I think I figured what this two buttons and counter are for. To call staff in the pachinko parlors?

Instead these pockets just give you jackpots. Right?

And this is the little door that once in a while opens. Especially if you send many balls on the right. And Yes, during the bonus time opened a lot

The buttons are ball loan buttons in the parlor.. Instead of having the balls come out of a machine next to the game, CR machines made it so once you payed for your balls the balls were loaned right from machine..

One of our members daverob, came up with a dongle that made those buttons work at home, so you could push the button and balls would be dispensed from the back hopper to the front tray!!

Does anybody know what this little lights panel is? Is it another counter for jackpots?

And what about that black hole? it is not a pocket and it seems doing nothing when balls go there

Congrats on getting a nice Gundam machine! I don't have that one but I can help with most of these questions.

That red 0 you see is the same mechanic as the blue 0, except instead of your regular odds it is higher odds that appear during rush after a successful bonus. They both tell you the amount of chances you have stocked, but I usually just use the symbols that show up on the bottom since sometimes you can tell which one has a better chance of winning.

This side pockets are considered mini jackpots yes. Instead of getting a chance at the bonus it will refund usually 5 or 7 balls, depending on the odds your machine is.

The lights panel is what is used to tell you what the machine is doing, like if there is an error or how many rounds you won from your bonus.

That black hole is a thing in most modern machines, where your balls need to enter that hole to start the bonus. As long as you're shooting the balls to the right I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Enjoy and have fun!
