WOW! You certainly have played a lot of machines. I guess paradise does have a few more benefits.
These are my opinions and just because I am the admin you don't have to agree with me

Most of the machines i have played are older ones. At one time there were five or six pachislo parlors on the island. Most of them didn't last more than a couple of years. As of right now there is only one parlor still in business. Because of the many competing businesses, token prices went from ten tokens per dollar to 800 tokens for $20.00. Sadly the last remaining parlor hasn't gotten new machines in a while and has many broken machines taking up space.
What a nice collection of older machines. For being stuck on an island, you have played many machines. It must have been a fun time being able to play all those machines, of course you had to pay to play them. I don't know if I would like that. Congrats on the collection. I look forward to checking back in and seeing any additions.

. . . it may be three plane trips away. Hilo airport currently doesnt have a direct mainland flight. you would have to stop in Honolulu (Oahu) and take an interisland flight.Chris wrote:Actually since I am an east coaster it is two plane trips away
Kona airport (on the other side of the island) has flights to the mainland, but they are limited. and its about a 2 hour drive to the hilo side.
