It would be so awesome. :D

Just load it with TGA's tokens. Have tournements! Lol I dunno, it would be a great bemani item just to have. :)

I just saw the video of this on Bemanistyle, this is total win. Andy, please consider getting this.

[DeMarcus]

why would tga need this?

first thing on the list would be a ufo catcher...

Not a fan of Slot machines...but if Foxwoods had it, I might play it there. It just wouldn't fit with TGA. BTW, what's a UFO catcher? Is it like a crane game or something? Pardon my ignorance :) .

[ranatalus]

yeah, it's a crane game

If they sell single units, sure. But since it's meant for casinos (whatever) there's probably a minimum order of 6 units or some crazy export restrictions. Although Andy could probably find them used in a few months no problem.

If Andy does get it, how would he operate it? It's a skill-stop game, like the Stacker or any of the lighthouse games. But like those prize games it's also kind of rigged. So it's both a skill game and a luck game. The payout is in tokens. In Japan they use the tokens the same way we use paper tickets - to win cheap prizes and get around anti-gambling laws. But Andy doesn't have a prize counter. I suppose he could stock it with game tokens, since they also have no cash value, but then he couldn't make it accept game tokens.

Although the thought of getting the bonus game on a slot machine while Gold Rush plays... :D. Loss of words. Probably also a loss of money but it would be SO WORTH IT. It's like IIDX 14 was designed around this game instead of the other way around.

Yeah,Im saying for bemani novalty purpose.
It doesnt neccesarily have to give out money or prizes. Like its intended purpose as a medal game.

Beatmania doesn't fit with TGA? Really? Does TGA have any Bemani games anymore?
