JUST WHAT IS A PACHINKO BALL LIFTER AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE ONE?
A pachinko machine has an exit hole in the back of it near the bottom. This is how the casino makes it profit by taking the losing balls that fall to the bottom of the playfield. The balls themselves are the "currency" like tokens or coins in a slot machine. When you play pachinko, you are gambling and usually end up losing all your balls out the back of the machine. The machine also has a prize tray in the upper back that must be replenished if you are going to get paid when you win! In a Parlor in Japan the balls are moved from the bottom of the machines into the top prize trays by elaborate ball management systems that work behind the scenes. Obviously this part of the Parlor is not accessible to the player but when you bring a machine home you now have to be both the player and the parlor! Now you can keep going to the back of the machine while you are playing and manually take the balls and move them to the top by hand, however this completely destroys the notion of gambling and winning. The Cyclone is a type of ball lifter I designed that utilizes the side of a sprocket unlike conventional more expensive designs and is anti jamming. It is also automatic and runs only when balls fall in. Losing balls fall out the back of a machine from the playfield and into the loader that moves them to the top prize tray in back where they can be bought back to play with by pressing a button.(more about that button in my next installment) It's not about holding balls at the bottom, just catch them and move them from bottom to top in the back in real time so the player doesn't have to keep reaching back there and moving them manually. Remember, these machines are designed for a player to only have access to the front! They are not designed at all to be used at home so accessories like this Top Loading ball lifter help produce a more realistic enjoyable playing environment at home. In effect the ball lifter takes the place of a huge ball management system that operates behind the scenes at every parlor in Japan. This inexpensive and good looking working contraption is exactly what enthusiasts have been trying to build economically for decades! Here it is !
