Introduction and Secrets of Pachislo Slot Machines

Introduction to Pachislo Slot Machines

Pachislo slot machines are much like the slot machines used in the casinos in the United States, but they are usually much less expensive. Pachislo machines are manufactured in Japan and used in Japanese casinos.

Elaboration as a Casino

These are usually used for less than two years in the Japanese casinos and are then sold through wholesalers and many of them wind up for sale in the United States. The Pachislo Slot Machine is cleaned up, often painted and made in complete operating order, then resold. Pachislo slot machines sell for anywhere from $100 on up, but when compared to "normal" slot machines which sell for over $1,000 in most cases, are a fine bargain.

Practical Overview of Pachislo Slot Machines

Every Pachislo slot machine is set up to accept tokens instead of coins. Usually, a sack of these tokens is included with every machine you buy.



Another name for a Pachislo slot machine is a "skill stop" game. This is because a button, or toggle, starts the reels spinning and the player pushes a button to stop each reel. This adds a bit of skill to the slots, but it is important to understand that the maximum payout on these machines is still set by the operator, so no matter how skilled you are, you can't beat a Pachislo machine any more than you can a regular slot machine.

Slot Machines Business

While owning a slot machine is actually illegal in many states, most states allow the ownership of a Pachislo slot machine. It is a good idea to find out if it is legal in your state before purchasing one.
