Coastal Amusements Boardwalk Big Spin

A large-format spinning wheel. RGB LEDs and a dot matrix display ring the dial. The arrow sweeps the full circumference before settling.

Overview

The Boardwalk Big Spin by Coastal Amusements is a large-format spinning-wheel redemption game in which players crank a physical wheel and watch the arrow travel the full dial before landing on a ticket prize segment. The cabinet ships in two configurations — a 6-foot dial and a 4-foot dial — giving operators a size option for different floor plans while preserving the same RGB LED and dot matrix light show on both.

Key Features

Physical Crank Mechanism

Players apply force directly to the wheel via a hand crank rather than pressing a button. The crank drives the dial into a full spin, and the spinning arrow decelerates visibly across the prize segments before stopping. This physical input is readable from a distance — bystanders see the wheel turn, the lights cycle, and the arrow coast to a stop.

RGB LED and Dot Matrix Light Display

The cabinet carries both RGB LED lighting and a dot matrix display panel. RGB LEDs cycle across the wheel during play, producing color movement visible across a room. The dot matrix display communicates prize outcomes and game state in large-format characters readable without approaching the machine.

Two Dial Sizes — 6-Foot and 4-Foot Configurations

The Boardwalk Big Spin is available in a 6-foot dial (72 in W x 52 in D x 138 in H) and a 4-foot dial (53 in W x 52 in D x 113 in H). The 4-foot version reduces the assembled width by 19 inches and height by 25 inches relative to the 6-foot, allowing placement in floor plans that cannot accommodate the full-size unit while retaining the same core game and light package.

Big Ticket Payout Structure

Prize segments on the dial are mapped to ticket awards, with high-value "Big Tickets" segments distributed around the wheel. The arrow's deceleration across the full dial draws out the outcome reveal — the ticket quantity is not determined until the arrow fully stops on its segment.

How It Plays

The player grips the crank and turns it, sending the large dial into a full rotation while the RGB LEDs sweep through the wheel and the dot matrix display activates. From the other side of the arcade, the spinning wheel and cycling color display are visible well before the arrow settles on a prize segment. The moment of deceleration — the arrow slowing through the final segments — is the visible payoff that draws the next player in.

Why Operators Love It

Two Footprint Options for Different Floor Plans

The 4-foot dial assembles to 53 in W — 19 inches narrower than the 6-foot version. Operators who cannot allocate 72 inches of width can place the 4-foot unit in tighter zones while running the same game on the same console base.

Split Shipping Reduces Handling Risk

The machine ships as two separate packages — the console and the dial — each with its own listed shipping dimensions and weight. Splitting the load keeps individual package weights manageable (340 lbs for the console, 355–500 lbs for the dial depending on size) and reduces the single-piece handling risk during delivery.

Configurable Ticket Award Segments

The dial is divided into prize segments with varying ticket values, including high-value jackpot positions. Operators can tune the ticket payout structure to match their location's redemption economics without changing the physical wheel or cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size configurations does the Boardwalk Big Spin come in?

The Boardwalk Big Spin is available in a 6-foot dial and a 4-foot dial. The 6-foot version assembles to 72 in W x 52 in D x 138 in H and weighs 675 lbs; the 4-foot version assembles to 53 in W x 52 in D x 113 in H and weighs 530 lbs.

How does the Boardwalk Big Spin ship?

The machine ships in two separate packages: the console (32 in W x 46 in D x 58 in H, 340 lbs) and the dial. The dial ships at different dimensions and weights depending on which size is ordered — 500 lbs for the 6-foot dial and 355 lbs for the 4-foot dial. Operators should plan for lift-gate delivery given the package weights.

What type of game is the Boardwalk Big Spin?

The Boardwalk Big Spin is a ticket redemption game. Players crank the physical wheel, the arrow spins across prize segments on the dial, and the segment where the arrow stops determines the ticket award. It is suited for family entertainment centers, arcades, and any venue running a ticket redemption program.

What display technology does the Boardwalk Big Spin use?

The cabinet uses both RGB LED lighting around the wheel and a dot matrix display panel. The RGB LEDs produce color cycling visible during wheel spin; the dot matrix display shows game outcomes and prize information in large-format characters.

Ideal Placement

The Boardwalk Big Spin fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and pizzeria game rooms where a redemption-ticket program is already in place. The 4-foot dial configuration, at 53 inches wide, suits venues with tighter floor plans or lower ceiling clearance than the full 138-inch height of the 6-foot version allows. The machine's tall profile and large wheel make it a natural end-of-row or anchor placement in open arcade floor layouts.
