Pachislo Video Arcade _ what are they?
Chris:
Note that in the US, pachislos are illegal in many states if they're newer than 25 years old. In California they are completely illegal.

Also as far as I know, it's illegal to sell or own slots in california, except over internet sales (shipping only, no pickuup allowed)

--- Quote ---IF YOU RESIDE IN CALIFORNIA, NEW MEXICO,WASHINGTON STATE, COLORADO, OR OREGON PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM. BY STATE LAW WE CANNOT SHIP OR SELL WITHIN THESE STATES.

This isn't necessarily impossible; I'm sure Pachislos pass through California in shipping all the time. The law probably states that they are illegal to operate in California. I know I've seen many non-operational slots in people's homes in CA...
