Jet Games Cannonball Drop

A physical ball rolls down transparent pegs in front of a 65-inch screen — where it lands determines the tickets.

Overview

Cannonball Drop is a pirate-themed ticket redemption game from Jet Games that combines a physical ball-drop playfield with a 65-inch HD display. Players fire a real ball from a molded cannon controller, watch it navigate transparent pegs, and earn tickets based on where it lands — with a Captain's Wheel rope-pull bonus triggered by hitting specific holes.

Key Features

Physical Ball Drop Over a 65-Inch HD Display

Transparent pegs mounted in front of the 65-inch screen physically guide the ball as it falls, so players watch the actual ball interact with the game surface while animated pirate ship graphics play behind it. The peg field determines the ball's route to the target holes at the bottom.

Molded Cannon Controller with Real Rope

The player interface is a shaped cannon housing with a functional rope inside. Players move the cannon side-to-side to aim, then pull the rope to launch the ball — a physical input mechanism that goes beyond a standard joystick-and-button setup.

Captain's Wheel Bonus Round

Landing the ball in a designated bonus hole triggers a secondary game: the player pulls the rope again to stop the spinning Captain's Wheel, with the result determining the bonus ticket payout. The outcome varies by where the wheel stops, introducing an unpredictable second payout moment per qualifying shot.

Pirate Ship Cabinet with Mast and Jolly Roger Flag

The cabinet is styled as a pirate ship and ships with a Jolly Roger black flag and full mast assembly. Assembled height is 106 inches; with the mast and flag installed it reaches 148 inches — just over 12 feet tall.

Coin and Card Swipe Ready

The cabinet accepts both coin and card swipe payment without additional hardware modifications, supporting venues that operate on cashless or hybrid payment systems alongside traditional coin-op configurations.

How It Plays

The player slides the cannon left and right to aim, then pulls the rope to fire — the ball launches onto the peg field in front of the screen and bounces its way down to the target holes, each worth a different ticket value. If it drops into a bonus hole, the player pulls the rope a second time to stop the spinning Captain's Wheel for an additional payout. From the aisle, bystanders see a physical ball rolling and bouncing across a glowing peg field against a full-screen animated ship battle, with the wheel spin sequence lighting up the cabinet face each time a bonus is triggered.

Specifications

Operator Notes

Three-Pallet Delivery — 772 lbs Combined

The unit ships across three pallets. Plan for lift-gate service and adequate staging area during installation. The mast and flag assembly ships on a separate pallet from the main cabinet body.

Ceiling Clearance for Mast Installation

With the mast and Jolly Roger flag installed, the cabinet reaches 148 inches (just over 12 feet). Verify ceiling height at the intended placement before installing the mast — the unit operates fully at the 106-inch assembled height without it.

Physical Ticket Dispenser Included

A ticket dispenser is included with the cabinet. No separate redemption hardware is required to begin operating.

Operator-Adjustable Settings

The cabinet provides operator-accessible settings for configuration adjustments. Jet Games provides a downloadable manual, parts list, and troubleshooting resources directly through their support portal, with technical support reachable at 1-855-JET-GAME.

Ideal Placement

Best suited for family entertainment centers, arcades, and amusement venues where the tall cabinet profile and large display can anchor a section of the floor. The 51-inch width fits standard aisle configurations, and the dual voltage support makes it suitable for international venue deployments without power conversion hardware.
