Big (Not-so) Sweet Land - Pictures
It's been roughly 3 weeks since I last updated my blog. Partially, it's due to my laziness. Another reason was my lack of motivation to write. You see, motivation is everything. After surfing the web blindly for a few hours and reading a few random blogs that are pretty up-to-date, I decided to do something about mine too.
Hence, I completed the previous post, which I left off as a draft for 3 weeks. And now, this post will be composed of pictures that were supposed to be in the previous post. In fact, this post will be more like a "show and tell" kind of thing. Here we go!
In the previous post, remember how I said I continue someone's game? You can see in the picture below that there are 6 bars lit on the arm. Oh yes. That's the mechanical arm I've been talking about. You can see the mini-roulette at the top too.
When the person left, the machine was left in this state and Dear and I pick up the scraps from there. The number of bars flashing indicates how many bars you will start with if you play the game. In this case, the game starts off as at bar 6.
On the left is how the mechanical arm will normally appear. Notice that no bars are lit. Actually, the bar right at the bottom will flash occasionally but it just didn't do so when I snapped it. The reason why I used the phrase "normally appear" is that regardless of how many bars are lit on the mechanical arm, it will reset itself after some time, if no one continues the game.
Think of it like those typical joystick + buttons arcade games. In the event of a game over, there will be a timer counting down. If no one continues, the next game will start from scratch. Simple analogy there.
And this is how it will look like after a jackpot win. All bars will be lit and will flash intermittently. It doesn't matter if the jackpot win is gained from the mini-roulette or from the slow and arduous way; the display will still look like this.
If you are eagle-eyed, you will notice two signs on either side of the arm. Those signs states that you can exchange any of the jackpot prize before the game starts and no exchange can be made after the prize is won. Apparently, it is some form of stipulation set out by the management of the arcade. This stipulation may or may not apply to other regions.
Here are the vertical cylinders. Upon reaching the various bonus levels, the base of the cylinder will move up and the arm on the top will rotate in a circular fashion to dispense the contents.
