In 2005, Sammy released an Interactive Pachislot completely based on the Crash series. Like all of Sammy's Pachislots, this is more than a simple slots machine. The built-in screen, buttons and speakers let you play small games between slot sessions. The screen displays 3D animations of Crash Bandy Kuu and company, and it's essential for the player to know which buttons to press, so that Crash can dance, run, shoot, etc.

The whole game is heavily based on The Wrath of Cortex, both graphically and event-wise, with Crash confronting a a Lo-Lo-fied Crunch, running away from him in Py-Ro form or even piloting the Crash Glider to take out Cortex's tornado generators. The characters are Crash, Coco, Crunch, Tiny Tiger, Dr. Cortex, Aku Aku and Uka Uka. There are 4 main types of games:

3 Bonus System: The classic slots challenge with modern enhancements and graphical bonuses.

Dance Game: Make Crash win a dance competition against Dr. Cortex.

Shooting Game: Control the Crash Glider and take out targets.

Interactive: This choice leads to interactive adventures. Help Crash escape Crunch and Tiny, gather Crystals and defeat opponents.

The machine is also packed with bonus mini-games, like snowboarding and jeep rally.

Interactive Pachislot Crash Bandicoot marks Crash's first arcade release. With a huge lot of animations, fun mini-games and its own set of cutscenes, it's a real shame this little gadget was never incorporated outside of Japan.
