Pipeline Games Duck Locker 24" Crane

A 24-inch prize window. Rubber ducks packed to the glass. One claw descends on command.

Overview

The Duck Locker SE is a 24-inch skill crane from Pipeline Games, built around a duck-themed prize format but configurable for any small plush or soft toy. It ships with a prize fill included and arrives ready for immediate route deployment. Two coin mechs are installed standard, with optional dollar bill acceptor and credit card reader upgrades available.

Key Features

Configurable Prize Format

The cabinet is set up at the factory for rubber ducks but can be reconfigured for any small plush or soft toy. The prize fill included at no additional charge — valued at over $100 — covers the initial stock so the machine is ready to earn from day one.

Winner Every Time or Skill Play Mode

An operator-accessible setting switches the machine between guaranteed-win mode and standard skill play. Winner Every Time mode guarantees a prize on every play cycle; Skill Play mode returns claw strength to standard crane behavior. The operator selects which mode fits the location without any hardware change.

Wi-Fi Remote Monitoring

The Duck Locker SE is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing operators to monitor income data and prize count remotely from a phone. The monitoring feature tracks plays and prizes dispensed without requiring a physical visit to the machine. Pipeline Games notes this capability is in active beta testing.

MicroSD Audio Control

The machine's in-cabinet music is stored on a MicroSD card accessible from inside the cabinet. Swapping the card updates the audio without any software procedure — pull the card, load new files, reinsert.

Dual Coin Mechs Standard

Two coin mechanisms are installed at the factory. An optional dollar bill acceptor and an optional credit card reader can each be added to expand payment acceptance without replacing the existing coin mechs.

How It Plays

The player positions the claw over the prize field using the joystick, then triggers the drop with a single button press. In Skill Play mode, claw grip strength varies by aim and timing; in Winner Every Time mode, the machine ensures a prize is delivered on each cycle. From the side, the full prize field is visible through the glass — ducks or plush stacked against the 24-inch window — so the claw descent and grab read clearly to anyone standing nearby.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

US-Stocked Replacement Parts

Pipeline Games stocks all Duck Locker SE parts domestically in New Jersey. When a component needs replacement, there is no international lead time — parts ship from US inventory.

Compact Footprint for Tight Locations

At 23 inches wide and 27 inches deep, the Duck Locker SE fits single-unit wall slots and small-footprint route stops — convenience stores, pizzerias, and waiting areas where a larger 36-inch crane cabinet would not clear the space.

Phone-Based Income Monitoring

The built-in Wi-Fi module transmits play counts and prize-out data to the operator's phone — no physical visit required to check machine activity. For route operators managing multiple locations, this reduces the number of check-in stops needed to monitor performance.

Per-Location Mode Switching

The Winner Every Time / Skill Play toggle is an operator-level setting — no hardware swap, no technician call. An operator running the same unit across different venue types can adjust the payout behavior at each stop to match the location's audience or agreement terms.

What is the assembled footprint of the Duck Locker SE?

The Duck Locker SE assembles to 23 inches wide, 27 inches deep, and 71 inches tall, weighing 225 lbs. The 23-inch width fits standard single-unit wall slots in most small venue and route configurations.

Ideal Placement

The Duck Locker SE is sized for single-unit route stops: convenience stores, restaurant waiting areas, pizzerias, and laundromat game corners where a full-size crane cabinet would not fit. Its 23-inch width also allows placement in small family entertainment center game rooms and mini-golf clubhouses where floor space is at a premium. The duck-themed prize format positions it naturally in family-focused venues alongside redemption games targeting younger players.
