Players use a plunger to launch a ball at a moving bonus hole — the playfield never stops, so every launch demands real timing. The rotating disc and on-target LED lighting make the game visible and legible from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border:none;border-top:1px solid #d1d5db;margin:24px 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#000;margin:28px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-0.3px\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eRotating LED-Lit Playfield\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eThe playfield spins continuously during play, moving the bonus hole target in a circular path. LED lighting runs along the rotating surface, keeping the target area visible at every position in the rotation cycle. The motion of the lit disc is readable from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003ePlunger Launch Mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003ePlayers launch the ball by pulling and releasing a physical plunger — a fixed mechanical input that puts launch power directly in the player's hands. Because the plunger position is stationary while the target rotates, the timing of the release determines whether the ball hits the bonus hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eSkill-Based Play Structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eCoastal Amusements designed the Vortex as a game where the player has full control over the outcome. Ball trajectory and launch timing are the sole variables — there is no random element introduced by the machine between the plunger release and the ball's contact with the playfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eUpright Cabinet Format\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eThe cabinet stands 106 inches tall with a 49-inch width and 42-inch depth. The tall profile keeps the rotating playfield elevated and visible above neighboring machines.

Getting the ball into the bonus hole requires reading the rotation speed and committing to a release moment — there is no corrective action once the ball leaves the plunger. From across the arcade, bystanders see the LED-lit disc spinning and watch the ball arc toward the moving target, making the hit-or-miss outcome immediately clear at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#000;margin:28px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-0.3px\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:12px 0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f1f5f9;border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#000\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f1f5f9;border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#000\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eSKU \/ Item Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eCADM 029258N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eCoastal Amusements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e49 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e42 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e106 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003ePlayer Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border:none;border-top:1px solid #d1d5db;margin:24px 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#000;margin:28px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-0.3px\"\u003eWhy Operators Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eCompact Footprint for Standard Floor Plans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eAt 49 inches wide and 42 inches deep, the Vortex occupies a footprint that fits standard arcade wall slots and mid-floor arrangements without requiring a dedicated zone or custom spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eSingle-Player Cycle, Fast Turnover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eEach play is a single-player launch sequence with a short, defined cycle.
