Hi Everyone,

After many years, I finally found a pinball machine that brings back a great deal of nostalgia for my family. The machine that I picked up is High Roller Casino. This game was at a local pizza place that my family used to visit back in the day…close to 20 years ago in fact, and all of us really enjoyed it.

Fast forward, and I just got home last night after a 12 hour drive and I’m just getting ready to wheel it in the house. I’m totally new to this world! I’m huge into details, cleaning, mods, upgrades, restoration.

Any tips to get me started? Things I should look for? Can’t wait to dig in!

Thanks!
Jason

HRC was my very first pin purchase as well. With all that is packed in it, this would be an 'LE' if released today.

Make sure you download the newest 'Director's Cut 3.0' software for the best experience.

I still have my copy and I doubt I will ever sell it.

Congrats and enjoy!

Change the balls out regularly. Best thing you can do. If it has batteries, change those too or swap to nvram or off board battery pack. And always enjoy playing. Dont be afraid to change what settings you can to keep things interesting. Oh, and make room for 3-70 more. The addiction can be strong. Cheers!

Here it is! Dug in and gave it a good cleaning…cleaned up a few war scars with paint pens, and have been having a blast so far!

Thought I knew of every game at this point but somehow this has never come on my radar. Looks fun though! Welcome! Be careful, they multiply.

I know, right. This looks really clean. Have fun Yoeddy.

Edit: clean and fun!

I recognize that name... fellow KLOV brethren! I'm VidyaGamez over there. Welcome to Pinside and congrats, looks clean. They do definitely multiply (but you know that already)

Congrats on the new toy. I am sort of new too, since February. Lots of great info on this site. I changed out my DMD for a color one and it made a world of difference. Then I went for a Pinsound+ board and stereo speakers upgrade. Recently, I added a shaker too. I bought some Non Ghosting LEDs at Pinfest this past weekend. That is my next upgrade.

Yeah, I’m an arcade game collector…particularly in the cabaret arcade game arena. I figured there’d be some fellow KLOV’rs out here. I’m discovering quickly how addicting this hobby could be too.

Love my first pin! Cheers all!

Welcome to the club. I started out with one pin, expanded to 18, now down to only 12.

You'll sell off all your arcades to make room for more pins!
