I thought I'd start a new thread for the slot machine so talk isn't mixed up with the Dracula Arcade discussion. For previous discussions on this game, please see the following thread:
http://castlevania.classicgaming.gamespy.com/forums/index.php?topic=1347.60
At any rate, Kotei posted a link to Konami's page for this slot machine
http://www.konami.jp/products/am_dracula_medal/index.html
Here's a google translate link to one of the pages found at that site.

It looks like the slot game has some interesting Castlevania mechanics to it. A battle between Richter and an enemy appears overlayed on top of the slots and their fight is acted out as certain events happen on the slot game. Whenever a wild appears, you strike the enemy with the whip. I think that whenever you defeat an enemy, you gain hearts. When you get enough hearts or something, you enter a "Boss Rush" and fight a series of bosses until you face Dracula. You can use subweapons against the bosses, perhaps using hearts.
It looks like you can fight with Maria as well, check out the Maria's dragon item crash attack on the Wyvern in the picture in the lower right corner.
There's also some kind of sound collection mode in the game. Whenever you beat a boss, you can gain a song you can change the background music play. It's probably all music straight from Dracula X Chronicles.
Yeah, one could blow a lot of cash trying to defeat Dracula in this game. I suppose it's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities that they might add this game as a bonus of a future normal game one of these years.

Thats super cool!

I wonder if you have an account you can use when you play?
-
That's really cool!! At first, i didn't like the idea, but now from what i have seen and read so far, i love it!! Do i sound like a crazy for saying this words? :o

This is an arcade game, no one is going to own it, so that means no personal info, customization, or online play. This looks like crap already.

I don't bellieve that you've said these words!! :o

The only thing worth noticing is the music.
-
the music is probably all taken straight from Dracula X Chronicles, but it's possible it might have some original music.

Because if you are a Castlevania addicted, then you should like every Castlevania relative game!!

That is by no means true. I'm annoyed by Simon's Quest, CV Adventure, and Belmont's Revenge, and I absolutely HATE Super Castlevania IV. This "slot machine" looks ridiculous.

Whaaaaaaat? And you call yourself a Castlevania fan???? It shows that you've only been introduced to the series within the past few years. I can't believe you would call those games terrible, and consider CVIV the worst in the series. Utter blasphemy. :o u r teh suk!
As for your "no online play" comment simply because it's an arcade game... You should realize that there has been score-keeping and online play in arcade games. I believe you use a special card that you insert when you play.
Anyway, slot machines? Seriously? That's not a video game. BO-RING!

Just Because I have an opinion against a few of the earlier games makes me a noob? I love all the games surrounding those, I just don't like those particular ones. And no, I don't just love all the recent ones. PoR bores me, DoS = the same, and yadda yadda yadda.
-
But who in their right mind dislikes Castlevania IV (which I consider to be the best in the series)? No one. :o Thus, you are a crazy person. :)
-
(which most people consider to be the best in the series)
Fixed...I think.

What is so bad about SCVIV that makes you hate it?

Slot machines based on games are rather common. I'm surprised they just had one now.

You've said the wrong word!! >:( Castlevania IV is one of the best games in the series and for me everyone that says it sucks, he is a noob!! :P

It's like saying you're a HUGE Metroid fan, but then saying Super Metroid is really crappy. DOES NOT COMPUTE.
-
Just because I truly dislike ONE game in the series? The others I mentioned are not my cup of tea, but I don't dislike them that much.
-
and I absolutely HATE Super Castlevania IV.
This is blasphemy! I'll get the petrol, you guys get the stake and some rope
-

But that ONE game gets as much love as Super Metroid by CV fans.

OK!! From today, you are not anymore Castlevania Addicted. You are demoted to a common fan of the series!! :P

And I have no clue what the hell "Super Metroid" is.

Meh, so be it. That has happened recently...

...wow.

I'm not a Metroid fan. I've only ever played the first game (and liked it).

I've always known about Super Metroid and I played it for the first time yesterday. Its also the only Metroid game I've played.

I was wondering what other video games they have made slot machines for. I'm not in Casinos very often, but every now and then I might spend $5 in one. The basic setup for the Castlevania slots seems pretty standard from what I've seen, play slots for a while, then enter some kind of bonus mode.

Oh man, Metroid is great. I seriously suggest that you play through all of that, and if you really enjoy it, check out Zero Mission for the GBA...it's just as great
-
Iga did it again... :(
-

You've never heard of or played the very game that inspired Symphony of the Night's design and the reason for why all of the games in its style are called Metroidvanias? Wow.

First you'll have to change your title, then you'll have to play Super Metroid if you want be called a true gamer!! I don't believe that there is a person who doesn't know what Super Metroid is!!
-
CVFan13 has lost all his credibility in one post. Good job!
-
They should port this game as a minigame for Judgment. Would make just about as much sense there.
Anyway, that's a pretty snazzy looking machine.

By telling that he is a huge Castlevania fan, when at the same time he doesn't like one of the best old school Castlevania games!!

Please cease. If you think I don't know who you are, think again.

Haha. You don't. I'm someone who thinks you should really play super castlevania 4 again. It really is hands down one the best. Oh, and play Super Metroid too. Trust me!
-
If youve never played and enjoyed Super Metroid you have no right to call yourself a gamer. The same could be said for CV4 too but to a lesser extent. Both are 2 of the best games the SNES had to offer and pieces of gaming history but especially Metroid.

You are an evil being from my past, am I correct? CVfan14?

In Reply To #48
What are you talkin about? Theres nothin stuck up about fact. Thats whats wrong with CV today. New players never even SAW the old style games much less played them. Same with the Final Fantasy series. New players come in at one of the DS games and never heard of CV before or if they did they didnt realize it. If they were lucky they started at SoTN but more and more new fans are havin to go back and play it after gettin into the series. Most of those stop at SotN and never go further back or even realize there are games farther back.
So to them CV is a bunch of pale faced guys that look like chics runnin around in poorly designed castles and they cant understand or appreciate the old titles cause to them it isnt CV.

That has nothing to do with what you said in your previous post.

LOL @ everyting.
And as much as I adore the above mentioned games, I think people can call themselves gamers without having played Super Metroid and Castlevania IV. Though I highly recommend people to check both games out because they're fab. But I know plenty of people who don't like Super Metroid. And there's really nothing wrong with that, they're still gamers. I mean, I think Final Fantasy 7 and Ocarina of Time are boring as fuck, and some people would argue that I can't call myself a gamer because of that. But I do anyway. ;D

If youve never played and enjoyed Super Metroid you have no right to call yourself a gamer.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Very well then... I'll find your identity soon enough...

I always assumed "the Medal" was a retread through Rondo of Blood with no new storyline. But after seeing the Pucchi slot game, which is an actual sequel to Curse of Darkness, I'm not so sure (I'm basing that assumption off the fact that Dracula is resurrected in the game). Maybe "The Medal" has an original storyline and takes place between Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night???

In Reply To #63
I dunno. Slot machines and storylines don't go together very well. It would be interesting, though.
-
CVfan13, why do you hate Castlevania 4? You haven't explained that already.

Hey, I found the Feature World site for this game.

Why are slot machines so popular in Japan? >.>
