Pipeline Games Poke a Prize Mini

A giant mechanical finger rotates above a spinning prize field. Twenty-four inches wide. It descends on command.

Overview

The Poke A Prize Mini brings the full spinning-prize, giant-finger-drop mechanic of the full-size Poke A Prize into a 24-inch cabinet footprint. The prize field rotates continuously while the oversized mechanical finger hangs above it, visible from across the floor — then drops to poke a prize when the player triggers it. Sized for locations where full-size redemption cabinets won't fit, the Mini accepts trading cards, keychains, gift cards, and other small-to-medium prizes.

Key Features

Continuously Rotating Prize Display

The prize field spins throughout the entire play session, keeping prizes in constant visible motion. Players and bystanders can read individual prizes as the carousel rotates, which sustains attention between plays.

Oversized Mechanical Finger Mechanism

A large mechanical finger floats above the rotating prize field and descends on player input to poke a prize. The finger's scale and downward travel make the drop moment readable from a distance — the defining visual event of each play.

24-Inch Cabinet Footprint

The cabinet measures 24 inches wide, placing it in floor-space ranges that standard full-size redemption cabinets cannot occupy. Hallways, counter walls, tight arcade corners, and small venue lobbies all become viable locations.

Flexible Prize Compatibility

The prize field accommodates trading cards, keychains, gift cards, and small-to-medium prizes. Operators can rotate prize stock to match the audience or season without any hardware change.

How It Plays

The player watches the spinning prize carousel to time their moment, then presses the button to trigger the mechanical finger drop onto a specific prize. The finger descends in full view above the cabinet, making the poke visible to anyone standing nearby. The short cycle — watch, decide, poke, collect or miss — resets quickly for the next play.

Why Operators Love It

24-Inch Width Opens Locations Full-Size Cabinets Cannot Fill

At 24 inches wide, the Mini fits wall slots, lobby corners, and smaller venue footprints where standard redemption cabinets are too large to place. Operators with existing routes gain new install points without floor expansion.

Fast Cycle, Single-Button Operation

The play sequence — insert payment, watch the spinner, press the button, finger drops — completes quickly and resets automatically. Short cycles mean higher plays-per-hour capacity relative to machines with longer game windows.

Prize Stock Requires No Hardware Change to Rotate

Trading cards, keychains, gift cards, and small-to-medium prizes all load into the same carousel. Operators swap prize stock by hand between fill cycles — no tools, no reconfiguration.

One-Year Warranty on the Machine

Sunflower covers the Poke A Prize Mini with a one-year warranty. US-based parts support is available through the manufacturer, reducing downtime risk on a mechanical-finger-drive unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What prizes fit in the Poke A Prize Mini?

The carousel is sized for small-to-medium prizes including trading cards, keychains, and gift cards. Any prize that fits within a standard carousel slot can be loaded without hardware modification.

How wide is the Poke A Prize Mini cabinet?

The cabinet is 24 inches wide. That footprint is smaller than most full-size prize redemption machines, making it suitable for tight wall runs, small lobbies, and venues with limited floor space.

Does the Poke A Prize Mini come with a warranty?

Yes. Sunflower covers all machines with a one-year warranty. Parts are US-based and available through the manufacturer's support line.

Is the Poke A Prize Mini the same game as the full-size version?

The Mini uses the same spinning prize carousel and oversized mechanical finger drop mechanic as the full-size Poke A Prize. The difference is the 24-inch cabinet, which is sized for locations where the full-size unit does not fit.

Ideal Placement

The Poke A Prize Mini suits family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, bowling center arcades, and pizza restaurant game rooms where floor space is at a premium. Its 24-inch width also makes it a practical route placement for hotel game rooms, movie theater lobbies, and convenience store game corners that cannot accommodate full-size cabinets.
