Saw this on CL, but haven’t been able to find any info about it. Looks interesting.

Pachinko machine...I've seen lots like it, but not a Rialto specifically.

Way two different pichinkos .
Op has posted a German style probably by bell late 60's early 70's. Plug has been hacked to take 120v , but kinda old and interesting version.
The second you posted is Japanese from early 80's.

The Rialto was made in Germany by Wulff, who were taken over by Bally and also made pinballs for a while. They still exist as Bally/Wulff and make slots.

The largest win is one German mark.

I’ve seen too many of the Japanese pachinkos, but this is the first German one I have seen. Any guess what this would be worth? I’ve seen the other kind for sale anywhere between $40 and $400(really?).

Found some interesting information at this website. Like Pinslot said, it’s a gambling “bingolett” machine.

for the record, I picked this machine up.
Is interesting to see this machine spark interest on the pinball forums (pinside), pachinko forums (pachitalk), and the European machines forums (pennymachines) that I am on.

It is definitely not a pachinko, though it does take some design from them, and fuses it with the traditional late-50s European roto slot machine tech

Don't know, I am not going to plug it in until I have time to review and test the transformer. European machines are 220 V.
Looks very clean inside though. Only down side is the wood, but it just needs a cleaning and refinishing.

Thanks, when your ready and done please post an update. Love these penny machines!

Any chance you could post a video of it in action when you get it going? I would love to see it!

Gunter Wulff and Harro (Harry) Koebke made some neat machines.

I can, but check out this far better video: (Bingolette was 1959, Rialto 1964, but they are basically the same machine)

be sure to check his whole channel if you like british penny machines!
