Tropicana Macy

Post by Dipsey Tussle »

I picked this, my first Pachislo, up the other day. It is a Tropicana Macy from Universal. The year on the belly glass is actually 1992, not 2000. I bought it for $50 from a guy who couldn't get the reels to spin.

I took all the wire clips off, cleaned the contacts and reattached them. Figured out how to do the reset and it worked with the exception of the first reel which would not stop via the button. It would stop eventually on its own.

I fiddled with the wires to the stop button and in a few minutes got it working properly. Aside from two small wedge bulbs that need replacing, it is working great and a lot of fun.

It is a basic setup, there is no video but the reels light up and it has sound effects. I have won the jackpot several times and it plays music and gives a light show up top.

I just discovered by reading up on the forums here about a similar machine (the continental II), that there is a volume control setting on the board next to the speaker. When I flipped the switch it went from mild volume to crazy loud. I live in an apartment building, so needless to say, I am keeping it set to "mild."

I had the payout set to level 3 but have pushed it back down to level one because I was winning these long duration jackpots and I don't have enough tokens to sustain that level of play until the additional tokens I have on order arrive. It was such a pain to keep opening up the game to refill the hopper.

The machine is made very well and definitely looks like a regular casino machine and not like a toy. I love it and am actually thinking of selling off the decommissioned Bally Atlantic Casino slot machine I picked up a month ago, as this is lighter and more fun.

I am already getting set to pick up a second Pachislo, A king Pulsar Frog Revolution that someone has for sale locally for very cheap.
