Nine compartments eject real plastic plate pieces upward. Three 37-inch monitors shatter on contact across the full cabinet face.


Overview

Break The Plate Reloaded is a two-player carnival-style redemption game from Coastal Amusements that merges a physical ball-toss mechanic with three 37-inch interactive video monitors. Players throw a real ball at the screens to trigger on-screen plate-shattering animations with matching audio — and nine separate compartments physically launch plastic plate pieces upward on each hit. The cabinet supports solo play or head-to-head two-player competition side by side, with bonus tickets awarded to the winner in competition mode.


Key Features

Three 37-Inch Interactive Monitors as the Target Surface

The game's targets are three 37-inch interactive video monitors arranged across the cabinet face. Multiple infrared frames embedded in the cabinet read ball contact and scoring on each throw. Every hit triggers a plate-shattering animation with synchronized audio — a target surface that reacts to every throw with a visible and audible event, distinguishable from conventional stationary-target carnival games.

Nine Physical Plate-Ejection Compartments

Behind the monitor array, nine separate compartments contain actual plastic plate pieces that are physically launched upward on successful hits. This mechanical element adds a tangible, real-world reaction to each throw — the physical debris rising into view reinforces the on-screen shattering animation and creates a spectacle visible well beyond the immediate play area.

Hybrid Physical-and-Video Game Mechanic

Break The Plate Reloaded combines a tangible ball-toss action with interactive video display — a format Coastal Amusements describes as a new game experience category. The physical throw feeds directly into both the digital response on-screen and the mechanical plate-ejection below it. Neither element operates independently, which places this cabinet outside the standard taxonomy of pure video redemption games or pure mechanical skill games.

Two-Player Competition Mode with Bonus Ticket Award

The cabinet accommodates two players competing simultaneously, each with their own throwing lane positioned in front of the shared monitor array. The winner in competition mode receives bonus tickets — a structured incentive that differentiates the two-player session from two back-to-back solo plays. Solo play is also supported with no configuration change required.

Extended Cabinet Depth — Carnival-Scale Throw Distance

Assembled depth runs 115 inches — nearly 10 feet from the throw line to the target monitors. That throw distance replicates the feel of a fairground plate-toss booth, substantially longer than the arm-length throw of most indoor redemption games. The footprint requires dedicated floor space appropriate for this game style.


How It Plays

Each player stands at their throwing position and hurls a ball toward the three 37-inch monitors at the far end of the cabinet — a throw distance of nearly 10 feet. When the ball contacts a monitor, infrared frames register the hit: the screen fires a full plate-shatter animation with breaking-glass audio, and real plastic plate pieces eject upward from the nine compartments beneath the monitors simultaneously. From across the arcade, the combination of thrown motion, physically rising plate fragments, on-screen shattering, and sound creates a sequence that reads clearly at distance — and when two players compete side by side, both results play out at the same time.

Why Operators Love It

Mechanical Spectacle Requires No Attendant to Activate

The plate-ejection compartments and monitor animations trigger automatically on each ball contact — no staff involvement, no reset button, no manual reload between plays. The game resets itself and is ready for the next throw without operator intervention.

Two-Crate Shipment with Documented Dimensions and Weights

The unit arrives as two clearly defined shipping pieces with published crate dimensions and weights for both sections. Operators can plan dock space, forklift or pallet jack requirements, and receiving crew size before the freight truck arrives — combined shipping weight is approximately 1,120 lbs.

Infrared Scoring System Reads Ball Contact Automatically

Multiple infrared frames across the cabinet face handle all scoring detection without mechanical sensors subject to contact wear. The scoring system operates on proximity detection, which means scoring accuracy does not degrade with repeated ball impact on the monitor surface over time.


Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can use Break The Plate Reloaded at once?

Break The Plate Reloaded supports one or two players. In two-player mode, both players compete side by side simultaneously, each throwing at the shared three-monitor target array. The winner in competition mode is awarded bonus tickets. Solo play is supported with no cabinet reconfiguration required.

What is the assembled footprint of Break The Plate Reloaded?

Assembled, the cabinet measures 45 inches wide, 115 inches deep, and 106 inches tall. The nearly 10-foot depth is the primary floor-planning consideration — operators should confirm that available run space accommodates the full throw lane before placement.

How does Break The Plate Reloaded ship?

The unit ships in two separate crates. The main crate measures 48 x 70 x 96 inches and weighs 720 lbs. The rear section measures approximately 48 x 90 x 30 inches and weighs approximately 400 lbs. Combined shipping weight is approximately 1,120 lbs — a two-person receiving team and appropriate material handling equipment are recommended.

What makes Break The Plate Reloaded different from a standard video redemption game?

Most video redemption games use buttons or a joystick as the input. Break The Plate Reloaded requires the player to physically throw a ball at a set of 37-inch interactive monitors roughly 10 feet away — the same mechanic as a fairground plate-toss booth. On each hit, nine compartments physically launch plastic plate pieces upward while the monitor displays a matching shattering animation, combining a mechanical reaction with the digital feedback in a single event.

Ideal Placement

Break The Plate Reloaded is sized for venues that can dedicate a run of approximately 10 feet in depth and just under 4 feet in width — family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, and larger bowling center arcades are natural fits for a unit of this scale. The carnival-style throw mechanic also suits boardwalk-style entertainment venues and amusement park midway game rooms where physical-skill games are an established draw. Route placement is not applicable given the cabinet's footprint and two-crate shipping configuration.
