exploring the arcade in ウルフガイ 燃えろ狼男 (1975) aka Urufu gai: Moero okami-otoko aka Wolf Guy

It's time for Wolf Guy!

1975 - ウルフガイ 燃えろ狼男 / Urufu gai: Moero okami-otoko aka Wolf Guy

backdrop appears to be a Vegas photo?

now that he has moved we can see the two slot machines on the right are the same model.

Continental Lucky Bars - ラッキー・バーコンチネンタル [import, 1971] by バーリー (Bally)



 
On the left hand side we can only see the letter "A"  but the marquee sign is absolutely distinctive!  I wish we had a better photo, with the clarity we see that letter A in the movie.

Now we look to the slots at the back.  They are similar to a number of machines from the late 1960s / early 1970s.
 
to note: there is a chrome-framed area where the reels are, with the framing tilted up towards the player.  The upper information is also framed in chrome.  We can see white dotting along the top, perhaps some purple, and then red.  Important to notice that it has a ball handle that only goes barely above the slot reel frame on the machine, and the machine has wood paneled sides.
On top is another sign, with a distinct red bar punctuated by a blue smudge and what I presume is white text, and then a jackpot light. Upper signs are often specific to the location, unsure if we'll find that one ever, and jackpot lights tend to be optional accessories.
 


Bally 5-Line Lightning
This slot matches the appearance like many others, but also has the info card at the top that is an exact match, and the matching white circles in the upper chrome frame area.



Reflected on the mirror of the ceiling we can see another machine

The marquee seems to say "Carnival", or at least CARNIV
the person in front gives a sense that this is a very large machine.  I have never seen this machine before.



Then we go into the backroom.

we can see a pinball machine in the foreground shadows on the right, and a machine to the left of the doorway.

behind the man in red we can see a Home Run

That's an Amosco!

1965 Amosco - アモスコ by アオシマ・モウカル・オカネ・シコタマ・カンパニー (Aoshima Moukaru Okane Shikotama Company)



1968 怪獣ルーレット (monster roulette) by 児童遊園設備 (Children's Amusement Park Facilities)

There is probably 2 different editions of Monster Roulette.  The red version seems to have slightly different background artwork.

We see the same red model in the 9th Truck Guys movie, トラック野郎 一番星北へ帰る / Torakku yarô: Ichiban hoshi kita e kaeru (Trucker Yaro VIII: The Truck Rascals go to the North)



just checking out the large roulette table on its side.

Wolf Guy is using medals as shuriken, striking a number of gangsters

MEDAL TO THE FACE! DEVASTATING BLOW!!

a whole pile of pachinko machines stacked on the right







and lastly, let's finally identify that pinball machine

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, and stoking the constant terrorist bomb and death threats against trans lives and institutions that don't also purge trans people.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off to notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this government-run terror campaign against its own citizens.

now and forever.
