Zoom Studios Prize Bus Crane Machine

Four crane stations. One bus-shaped cabinet. All four players face inward on a 360-degree playfield.

Overview

The Zoom Studios Prize Bus is a four-player instant-win crane machine built around a 360-degree cabinet layout — four players occupy separate stations simultaneously, each working their own claw over the prize field. The bus-themed shell, backlit marquees, and outward-facing prize displays are visible from across the floor, drawing walk-up traffic from multiple approach angles.

Key Features

360-Degree Four-Player Layout

Four independent crane stations surround a central prize field, with each player positioned on a different face of the cabinet. All four positions can be occupied at the same time, making it possible to run four concurrent games off a single cabinet footprint rather than four separate single-player units.

Bus-Themed Cabinet with Backlit Marquees

The cabinet is styled as a full-size bus, with large backlit marquees on the exterior. The lighting and graphic treatment make the machine readable from across a venue floor — the marquee illumination is visible even in brightly lit environments.

Unique Prize Display Windows

Prize inventory is displayed through dedicated prize display windows rather than a generic glass-top view. The display configuration lets bystanders and prospective players see exactly what prizes are available before committing a play, with items visible from multiple approach angles around the cabinet's perimeter.

Metal and Glass Construction

The cabinet body is built from metal and glass — not plastic panels. At 701 lbs net weight, the structure is suited for permanent floor placement in high-traffic commercial venues.

Dual-Voltage Power

The Prize Bus accepts both 110V and 220V input, drawing 1,250 watts. The dual-voltage capability makes installation straightforward in venues where standard 110V service is available as well as those wired for 220V.

How It Plays

Each player at their station maneuvers a claw over the prize field and drops it in an attempt to grab a prize — the instant-win category means results are determined on each drop. From the floor, bystanders can watch four separate claw attempts happening simultaneously around the cabinet, each player visible from their own exterior face of the bus.

Why Operators Love It

Four Revenue Streams from One Footprint

The 360-degree layout puts four coin-op stations on a single 81.5 x 52-inch floor plan. Four players can generate plays simultaneously without queuing, which is a throughput configuration not available on standard single-player crane units.

Self-Redemption Format Reduces Prize Handling

The Prize Bus operates as a self-redemption machine — prizes are dispensed directly through the crane mechanism rather than through a ticket-and-counter exchange. That eliminates the staff handling step and the ticket consumable cost associated with traditional redemption setups.

Dual-Voltage Input Simplifies Site Requirements

With 110V/220V compatibility built in, the Prize Bus can be installed in venues without specialized electrical runs. A standard 110V circuit is sufficient — no electrician required for most locations.

Perimeter Prize Visibility Drives Walk-Up Plays

Prize display windows face outward on all sides of the cabinet, so prize inventory is visible from any approach direction on the floor. This is a structural difference from front-only or top-down display cranes, where the prize field is only readable from directly in front of the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can use the Prize Bus Crane Machine at the same time?

Four players can play simultaneously, one at each station positioned around the 360-degree cabinet perimeter. Each station operates independently with its own claw mechanism and controls.

What are the assembled dimensions of the Prize Bus Crane Machine?

The assembled cabinet measures 81.5 inches wide by 52 inches deep by 84.25 inches tall. It ships in two packages — a primary crated unit and a bumper box — with a combined shipping weight of 900 lbs.

What type of power does the Prize Bus require?

The machine accepts 110V or 220V input and draws 1,250 watts. The dual-voltage design means most standard commercial venue circuits are compatible without additional electrical work.

How are prizes dispensed on the Prize Bus?

The Prize Bus is a self-redemption crane machine — prizes are grabbed directly by the claw and delivered to the player through the machine's prize chute. There are no tickets to print or redeem at a separate counter.

Ideal Placement

The Prize Bus fits naturally in family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, bowling center arcades, and mini-golf clubhouses where floor space can accommodate the 81.5 x 52-inch footprint and mixed-age traffic is the norm. The all-ages format and bus-shaped visual make it a practical fit for pizza restaurants, hotel game rooms, and movie theater lobbies as well.
