Family Fun Company Acorn Drop

A sweeping arm circles the playfield. The dropped ball bounces off it. Two jackpot holes wait.

Overview

The Family Fun Company Acorn Drop is a refurbished ticket redemption game built around a single visible mechanic: a brightly colored sweeping arm that continuously rotates across the playfield, redirecting a dropped ball toward one of two jackpot holes. The player controls where the ball enters from the top — front-to-back and left-to-right — which makes the aiming decision simple to understand and fast to execute. The jackpot point value is fully adjustable, giving operators control over payout thresholds.

Key Features

Motorized Sweeping Arm

A brightly colored arm travels continuously around the playfield surface. When the ball drops, the arm redirects its path unpredictably across the field before it settles into one of the scored holes. The constant motion of the arm is visible from outside the game cabinet during active play.

Two-Axis Acorn Positioning

The acorn launcher at the top of the game travels both front-to-back and left-to-right across the playfield. This two-axis range lets the player aim anywhere above the field before releasing the ball, which is the primary skill element of each play cycle.

Dual Jackpot Holes with Adjustable Point Values

The playfield contains two jackpot holes, each assigned a point value. The jackpot threshold is operator-configurable, allowing the payout target to be tuned to match the location's ticket economics without hardware changes.

Refurbished Condition

This unit is sold as used and refurbished by Birmingham Vending Company. Refurbished machines are inspected and reconditioned before sale, offering a lower acquisition cost relative to new equipment in the same category.

How It Plays

The player moves the acorn launcher to a chosen position above the playfield — sliding it front-to-back and side-to-side — then releases the ball downward. The rotating sweeping arm intercepts the ball's path, sending it bouncing across the surface until it drops into one of the two scored holes. From beside or behind the cabinet, the arm's continuous rotation and the ball's deflected path across the field are both visible during the play cycle.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Configurable Jackpot Threshold

The jackpot point value is fully adjustable without hardware changes. Operators can tune the payout threshold to match ticket costs and prize economics at each specific location.

Compact Footprint for Dense Floors

At 28.34 inches wide and 43.30 inches deep, the Acorn Drop occupies a narrow floor slot relative to its 77.5-inch standing height. The upright cabinet profile fits alongside standard redemption machines without requiring an oversized floor allocation.

Refurbished Entry Cost

As a refurbished unit inspected and reconditioned before sale, the Acorn Drop carries a lower acquisition cost than new equipment in the ticket redemption category — useful for operators adding a second unit to an existing redemption floor or filling a slot on a route.
