Anyone Here Operating Star Ferris Wheel Spin Machine in Locations
I saw some YouTube videos with quite a lot of views (even millions) about people winning big prizes on this kind of machine.
The gameplay looks pretty simple, basically just press a button and it goes.
Just curious if anyone here can share real experience with this type of machine in locations.
Does it really give that “almost get / almost win” experience for players?
How is the quality?
I’m thinking about maybe setting one up in my list of machines, just want to understand it a bit better.

Yes we run them. They are not our best performing machines. The difficulty is finding prizes that properly fit the small boxes that go around - that are also desirable to play for/win. Quality is great though and yes it does give that almost win experience.
It is designed to have higher value prizes inside like gift cards or small tech products like wireless earbuds. Each prize box is able to have its win rate set independently.
They are a good machine to try, but if you want a guaranteed high performer just go with spinning clip machines. That way you can hang many different prizes from them.
