Coastal Amusements Showtime 2 Player Crane 30"

Two separate prize fields stacked vertically. One cabinet. Both claws active at the same time.

Overview

The Coastal Amusements Showtime 2 Player Crane 30" houses two independent prize fields — an upper playfield and a lower playfield — inside a single 31-inch-wide cabinet, letting two players run simultaneous crane games from opposite sides. The upper station uses a standard #5 claw sized for 4"–7" plush, while the lower station runs a #1–2 claw suited to rubber ducks and similarly compact prizes, giving operators two distinct prize categories in one footprint. The translucent plastic exterior is backlit by an internal LED array, making the full prize inventory visible and illuminated from a distance.

Key Features

Upper and Lower Dual Playfields

Two fully independent prize centers — one positioned in the upper half of the cabinet, one in the lower — allow two separate crane games to run at the same time within the same footprint. Each playfield has its own claw mechanism, so one player's game does not interrupt the other's. The upper and lower compartments are also stocked and serviced independently.

Matched Claw Sizes for Each Station

The upper station operates with a standard #5 claw, the right fit for 4"–7" plush toys. The lower station uses a #1–2 claw, sized for rubber ducks and similar smaller prizes. The two stations can carry different prize stock simultaneously, which broadens the mix of prizes on offer without requiring a second cabinet.

LED-Backlit Translucent Exterior

The cabinet shell is constructed from translucent frosted plastic and lit from within by an internal LED system. The illumination makes the prize field visible through the cabinet walls, casting colored light outward and keeping the machine readable from across the room floor.

Smooth-Rolling Casters

Four rolling casters are mounted to the base of the cabinet. The casters allow the unit to be repositioned on the venue floor without tools or additional equipment, useful during floor layout changes or seasonal restocking.

Optional Payment Upgrades

The Showtime 2 Player Crane supports three optional payment configurations: a credit card reader for cashless play, a dollar bill acceptor with stacker for cash handling, and custom tokens for coin play. Each option is available as an add-on upgrade at time of order.

How It Plays

Each player moves their crane over the prize bin using a joystick, then presses a single button to drop the claw. Because the upper and lower playfields operate independently, both cranes can be descending at the same time — two simultaneous drops visible through the lit translucent walls from any approach angle. Bystanders on either side of the cabinet can see both active plays through the frosted exterior without needing to stand directly in front of the machine.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Two Active Playfields in a 31-Inch Footprint

At 31 inches wide, the Showtime fits a standard single-cabinet floor slot while running two simultaneous games. Operators get two active playfields without doubling the floor space required.

Independent Playfield Servicing

The upper and lower prize centers are separate compartments. Operators can restock or service one playfield while the other remains in play, reducing the time the unit spends out of service during restocking cycles.

Caster-Based Repositioning

The base-mounted casters let a single operator move and reposition the cabinet without a dolly or additional crew — useful for route stops or venues that rotate floor layouts seasonally.

Configurable Payment Hardware

The machine supports coin play, token play, bill acceptance, and card reading — each as an optional upgrade. Operators can specify the payment configuration that matches the venue before the unit ships, rather than retrofitting hardware on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can use the Showtime 2 Player Crane at once?

Two players can operate the Showtime 2 Player Crane simultaneously, each using their own independent playfield — one upper, one lower. The two crane mechanisms run independently so one player's claw movement and drop does not affect the other's game.

What size prizes fit in each station of the Showtime 2 Player Crane?

The upper station uses a #5 claw and is sized for 4"–7" plush toys. The lower station uses a #1–2 claw and is designed for smaller items such as rubber ducks. The two stations can be stocked with different prize types at the same time.

What payment options does the Showtime 2 Player Crane support?

The machine supports coin play as a standard configuration. Optional upgrades include a credit card reader, a dollar bill acceptor with stacker, and custom tokens for branded coin play. These payment options are selected at time of order.

What is the assembled footprint of the Showtime 2 Player Crane?

The assembled cabinet measures 31 inches wide, 35 inches deep, and 83 inches tall. Shipping dimensions are 33 in W x 36 in D x 82 in H, and the unit ships at 320 lbs.

Ideal Placement

The Showtime 2 Player Crane fits naturally in family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, and bowling center arcades where simultaneous two-player activity is common. Its 31-inch width slots into standard single-unit floor positions, making it a practical choice for mall arcades, pizzeria game rooms, and hotel game rooms where floor space is managed tightly. The illuminated translucent cabinet reads well in both brightly lit and ambient-light venue environments.
