Pachislo slot machine is a Japanese version of “slots” and is kind of a cross between pinball and slot. These machines were in use in Japan for over decades and have gone through a few developments as well. Over the last years, the Americans have warmed up to this new kind of slot machine and Pachislos can increasingly be found in American casinos these days.

A Pachislo slot machine is an authentic Japanese gaming machine used in international casinos. In Japan each casino can only use the machines for 2 years and then they have to take them out.

In fact, in some of the American states, buying the traditional “slots” which are auto stop machines has become illegal. A Pachislo slot machine, on the other hand, is a skill stop game and there are no bars to casinos storing them as gambling machines. In case of coins, the pachislo machines accept tokens and you can change those tokens into money over the casino counter. Machines generally come with three slots and if you can pull off a single set of numbers or symbols in all the three slots, you win a pre-allotted number of tokens. There is a toggle or button for each of the slots and as you push the button the reel goes off spinning and you can stop the reel by pushing on the button again.
The game is called skill stop since it adds the element of skill to the slots. However, you have to practice it hard and master it thoroughly to achieve any kind of perfection regarding stopping the reel at your required number or symbol. Keep it in mind however that the money, or the tokens for that matter, you win from any possible combination would depend on the pre-set rules specified by the operator. There is no jackpot kind of offer as in the classic slots whereby you can win all the money in the slot if you can hit the jackpot.
Although this is the case with the classic Pachislo slot machine, variations have been added into newer types of machines to make the game more interesting and to increase chances of win for a player. For example, when you are playing at a “kakuhen” system (and this is the system most commonly used in Pachislo slots these days), if you achieve the kakuhen combination (as specified by the operator), the game enters the jackpot mode and the chances of your winning the jackpot increases tenfold. However, if you can hit the jackpot even before you have achieved a kakuhen, then you can play in what is called the “jitan” mode. You are allowed 100 spins here with increased chances of hitting another jackpot. If you fail to do that within the stipulated 100 spins, the game reverts back to the normal mode.
The Pachislo machines can be bought online and many of the sites dealing in such merchandise offer attractive discounts on the machines. One can also go for a used Pachislo slot machine, which is normally one that has been used at a Japanese casino for around 2 years and then discarded for sale to make way for newer variety machines. These machines can be bought darn cheap in the upwards of 100 dollars. However, if you want to own a slot, you must check the rules of your state. There are states where owning a slot machine without permit is illegal. However, there are also many states where owning a slot machine is perfectly legal.
Cold chisels are used to cut heavy metal that cannot be cut with a saw or shears, usually because space is limited. They are also used for any number of repair jobs, such as cutting off rivet heads or slicing through rusted nuts and bolts, and other heavy work.
Before machine tools became available, cold chisels were more widely used in general engineering. Metal components were often made as close to the final size as possible by casting, so that most of the work in shaping the metal was done by the furnace. Cold chisels were then used to cut away material from the areas of the casting that needed to be brought to an exact size. These areas were then finished by filing and scraping.
Pachislo Slot Machine Troubleshooting
Cold chisels are made from carbon tool-steel, which is usually octagonal in cross-section. Tool-steel is used as it can be hardened to form a hard and tough cutting edge.
To make a cold chisel heat the end of the bar of tool steel until it is bright red and hammer to the desired shape. You will need to reheat the bar several times as it cools quite quickly when you hammer it. If you don't have a blacksmith's anvil you can use the face of a large sledge hammer instead (if the face is not too scarred). Clamp the sledge hammer in a large vice to keep it steady. Don't strike to face of the sledge hammer with your forging hammer or you may knock off chips of hardened steel which can damage your eyes.
Once the end of the bar has been hammered to the right shape you can grind the cutting edge as shown in the diagram. Harden the bar and then temper it to make the edge tough so that it does not crack. Different materials will require slightly different edge grinding and tempering.
Types of Chisels[edit | edit source]
Figure 2 shows the four kinds of chisels that are in common use.
- The flat chisel is the most widely used and has a place in every workshop and tool kit. It has a broad cutting edge which should be slightly rounded so that the corners do not dig into the metal. This chisel can be used for cutting off rods, cutting out sheet metal, and other jobs of this sort. In the days before machine-made files, a worker would use a special wide and short flat chisel to cut the teeth in a file before it was hardened.
- The crosscut or cape chisel is forged so that the cutting edge is slightly wider than the body; this is to ensure that the chisel does not bind in the cut when it is used for deep grooves. As well as cutting single grooves, the crosscut chisel is used to cut a grid pattern of grooves when a lot of material must be cut away from a surface. After the grid pattern has been cut you can use the flat chisel to chip off the remaining square pieces.
- A round-nose or half-round chisel is used for special work, such as forming flutes and channels. You can cut the oilways on the inside surface of a bearing bush using a round nosed chisel.
- The diamond-pointed chisel is drawn down to a square section at the end and then ground away to a single bevel. It is used for chipping through plates and cleaning out square internal angles. A tool very similar to the diamond-point chisel is used to cut the teeth on a wood rasp.
How to Use a Cold Chisel[edit | edit source]
Cutting Sheet Metal[edit | edit source]
When used to cut sheet metal, the chisel must be held at a slight angle to the surface of the metal as shown in Figure 1. This is done so that when the chisel is struck by the hammer it moves along in a continuous line toward the worker as it cuts through the metal. If the chisel is held vertically, a separate cut is made each time the chisel is struck by the hammer, and the 'line' then becomes a series of short cuts. A block of soft iron is generally used for support.
Chiseling Sheet Metal
[edit | edit source]
The method used to cut slots of various shapes and sizes out of a a sheet of metal is similar to that for cutting a straight line. However,the removal of the unwanted metal can be simplified by drilling a series of holes as close together as possible along the outline of the slot before using the chisel. This must always be done when cutting out a slot close to the edge of a sheet (cp. Figure 3); otherwise, the chisel will distort the shape of the plate.
When cutting metal held in a vise (cp. Figure 4), care must be taken so that the line to be cut is as close to the top of the bench vise as possible, so that the metal is not accidentally bent or the edge of the cut badly burred.
Sharpening[edit | edit source]
All of the chisels described are usually sharpened by grinding, preferably on a wet grindstone. After frequent regrinding, however, the cutting edge becomes too thick. In this case the chisel has to be heated, drawn down to shape, and retempered. The desired thickness of the edge will vary according to the kind of metal that is to be cut; the softer the metal, the thinner the edge of the chisel.
