Global Gizmos 50130 Arcade Coin Pusher Machine / Novelty Seaside & Fairground Attraction / Battery Operated Kids Game, Red

It is a Christmas present for our grandsons 5 and 2 and we decided to fill the machine with real 1p and 5p as stated the machine works well with real money as well ( needs to be no bigger than plastic coins, hence 2 & 5p) We tested the machine and I know my grandsons will love this as we had fun! Only problem if you do want real coins you need to ask at a bank you have an account with otherwise they won’t give change. Also if you are sticking to the plastic coins you will also need to get extra coins otherwise nothing drops

My lad who's 7 loves this he loved going to arcades playing 2 pence machines so this was perfect gift for him and even as an adult I enjoy having a go to

Bit fiddley too load and grip is bad

The kids love this and it lights up and makes noises, Takes 4 D batteries.Honestly it is a household hit and guests even love playing it when they come overfor drinks

Bought for a birthday present. Daughter absolutely loves it. Found it worked better when there were less sweets in the machine. Sadly the sensor stopped working after the 5th go so it doesn't register when a sweet drops in the chute. Fortunately daughter doesn't mind but the music is so loud and unable to turn down of off.

Broke

We have different arcade games at home and this coin pusher was a good addition. The only downside is that batteries don't last long. Considering you pay between £25-£30 for the game and requiere 4 x D batteries that can cost you £5 or more, it doesn't have a cheap maintenance.Despite this fact, still a good toy that offers a lot of entertainment. We made the most of this game, by adding little scrolls that content prizes you can get when the scrolls fall together with the plastic coins. We make them with pieces of paper rolled inside a cut porcion of a paper straw. This way you can play similarly like the real coin pushers you find in arcade places.A good thing is that has two points to insert coins, so it allows two people playing together. There is not much strategy to the game, as the coins path can be diverted by the mobile pivots at the top that are in constant movement.We prefer to play with music and lights (reason why our batteries don't last long) but is very convenient having the option to turn off these features.It has a setting to put an alarm if you try to cheat shaking the machine, which add fun to the game. Be sure you check this feature works properly. We had to return the first coin pusher we bought, because it was faulty and this feature wasn't working.In summary, is a great toy, perfect choice to play like in the arcade, there is not other product on the market as realistic as this one. But be ready to expend some cash in batteries if you play a lot.

This product nicely mimics the seaside version and is good fun to play with the children. A few observations. After about 5 minutes of play it stops working and needs a long rest before it springs back to life. Not impressed with that. Note this is without the tilt function being activated. The music can rapidly become annoying but you can switch it off. Battery life even with heavy duty rechargeable batteries is appalling. I wish they made these things to be mains powered. Overall looks good and is a fun to play with but I do not expect it to last long.
