rodney69 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What would be a good interactive for me to start with? I'm thinking about approaching a location I have about installing something more than just candy. It can't be capsule or gum. This location hosts tournaments on the weekends for basketball, volleyball, and roller skating to fill in. The have video games and my candy machine ( currently Uturn until I can figure out what machine can vend Mike and Ike without issue, then will be a rack). I was thinking something like the Zowie with jawbreakers? Need reasonable for the first purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If looking for a non-electronic machine, the Shootin Hoops for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Forgot the 27mm, can't use those either. They don't want the balls rolling out during a game and causing a hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'd do a sportsblaster with bouncy balls and set it to win a 4 inch with 10-15 target hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 So you can't do Bouncy Balls, Capsules, or Gumballs? What about a scale or grip tester? Tattoos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have arcade games. Yeah, I'm pretty limited at this location. On the good side, it sells about 150+ in candy a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Very picky location Yes it is HA! I approached him about stuff a few months ago. Either way, if it can only be candy, out will go up to .50 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sweet Revenge (from Oak Leaf) is another alternative for a jaw breaker and/or "candy ball". Has a small ridge around the ball, but rolls fine in interactive machines. I used them in some hoops machine "back in the day". Also very colorful. Used to get it for 5 cents a ball after shipping. I am sure the price is higher now. But I don't mess with it any more since I don't have those restrictions at the current locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 30% cog, and it's a charity machine. So I think it's worth it. I have more overhead than that on racks. it does a lot of volume for sure. I'm just trying to maximize my potential. Every location I have that I can sell toys at, that's all I do. I'm in a very competitive area, so I make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
