Coastal Amusements Showtime Console 4 Player Card Swipe

Four separate prize stations. One console footprint. Every prize bin reads from all four sides.

Overview

The Coastal Amusements Showtime Console is a 4-player crane machine built around a 360-degree prize visibility design, with each of its four stations independently accessible and visible from any approach angle. Unlike a single-claw cabinet where one player occupies the whole machine, the Showtime Console runs four simultaneous play stations in a single console footprint, each programmable with its own price per play.

Key Features

Four Independent Play Stations

The console houses four separate crane stations within a single cabinet structure. Each station operates independently, so up to four players can run simultaneous games without sharing a claw mechanism or waiting for the prior play to complete.

360-Degree Prize Visibility

The prize field is visible from all four sides of the console. Passersby approaching from any direction see the full prize inventory without needing to be directly in front of a single-sided display window.

Per-Station Programmable Pricing

Each of the four stations can be configured with its own price per play through the onboard programming menu. Operators can set different play costs per station to reflect prize value differences or test price points across the same machine simultaneously.

Card Swipe Payment Ready

This configuration of the Showtime Console is equipped with card swipe capability, allowing cashless payment at the machine. Locations running debit or game card systems can integrate the Showtime Console without additional payment hardware modifications.

How It Plays

A player takes position at one of the four stations, swipes a card or inserts coins, then uses the joystick and drop button to maneuver the claw over the prize bin and descend. Because all four stations can run at once, the console shows simultaneous claw movement at multiple positions — a visual pattern visible from well outside the immediate play area. Players waiting for an open station can watch active cranes in motion at the adjacent positions.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

One Cabinet, Four Revenue Streams

Four independently operating stations run within the assembled 47 x 62 in footprint of a single console. That gives an operator four active play positions in the floor space a single-station crane would otherwise occupy.

Flexible Pricing Without Hardware Changes

Per-station pricing is set through the programming menu, not through physical coin mechanism swaps. An operator can run different price points at each of the four stations — useful when prize values differ across bins or when testing price sensitivity at a location.

Cashless-Ready Out of the Box

The card swipe configuration ships with cashless payment hardware already integrated — no retrofit required at install. The optional bill acceptor can be added for locations that run mixed cash and card payment.

Console Footprint Ships on Pallet

At 495 lbs assembled and 745 lbs shipping weight, the Showtime Console ships palletized. The 63 x 50 x 43 in shipping envelope fits standard freight dimensions for lift-gate delivery to most venue loading areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can use the Showtime Console at the same time?

The Showtime Console has four separate play stations, each with its own claw mechanism. All four stations can be in play simultaneously, with each player operating independently.

Can each station on the Showtime Console be priced differently?

Yes. Each of the four stations has its own programmable price per play, configured through the machine's onboard programming menu. Pricing changes are made in software without swapping coin mechanism hardware.

Does the Showtime Console accept card payments?

This configuration of the Showtime Console ships with card swipe capability included. A bill acceptor is available as an optional upgrade for locations that also accept paper currency.

What is the assembled footprint of the Showtime Console?

Assembled dimensions are 47 in W x 62 in D x 39 in H, weighing 495 lbs. The low 39-inch height keeps the prize field accessible at a comfortable reach level for players across a wide age range.

Ideal Placement

The Showtime Console fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and pizza restaurant game rooms where floor space is shared across multiple attractions. Its 47 x 62 in assembled footprint occupies the floor area of a single large cabinet while supporting four active play positions. Mall arcades and movie theater lobbies with open central floor space can position the console as a freestanding island, accessible from all four sides.
