- Pachislo slots are popular Japanese slot machines (as they originated from Japan) but famous all over the world. Pachislos (pronounced PATCH-ee-slows) look much like any slot machine you would find in a Las Vegas casino.
- The Pachislo was designed to take tokens. There are no quarter hoppers. There are various mods you can do to their mechanical coin mechs to take a quarter but as you have found out the hoppers are not designed to use one. Non Pachislo machines use electronic coin comparitors.
