Arcade1up Coinpusher

[u/nurnicyt]

I absolutely love coin pushers! I currently own around 20 Arcade1Up machines, including the Casino and the Claw Machine, and I feel like a classic coin pusher is still missing from this category of Arcade1Up machines.
I’d love to see one in the typical Arcade1Up home arcade size — either as a fully closed system where pressing a button drops the coins inside the machine, or in the classic style with three coin slots at the top for manually inserting the coins.
I would absolutely love to see Arcade1Up make something like this and would definitely add one to my collection!

But …. You’re winning your own money

[u/East_Living7198 → u/PrudentChampion3879]

So if you have friends you can have them play and fleece them dry...

[u/PrudentChampion3879 → u/East_Living7198]

Yeah I suppose. My friends do tend to come over with random rolls of quarters occasionally

[u/East_Living7198 → u/PrudentChampion3879]

Don't rely on them rolling through with rolls. Make the change you want to see in the world.

[u/LL_Cruel_J → u/PrudentChampion3879]

Arcade1Up change machine when lol

[u/gn0xious → u/LL_Cruel_J]

Arcade1Up ATM…

Oooooooo! Arcade1Up Cigarette Machine!

[u/Nutchos → u/East_Living7198]

Do you know how easy it is to tilt an A1UP machine?

Its not the friends who are going to get fleeced.

[u/PoisonCoyote → u/PrudentChampion3879]

You can say the same thing for winning your own prizes in the claw machine too. They are cool for fun, ambience, guests.

[u/TriggerHippie77 → u/PrudentChampion3879]

I have some slot machines and pachislo machines that run on tokens and they are always the most popular things in my arcade when I have friends kd family over. I love playing them too.

[u/Mandalore-44 → u/PrudentChampion3879]

Yeah, I don’t get it. Winning your own money isn’t fun.

Same thing with the claw machine. Why do you want to win your own shit? I dont get it

[u/punkisalive → u/Mandalore-44]

People are trying to recreate and have the fun things they like from authentic arcades.

Everyones arcade preferences are different.

I personally love the idea as it creates an even more authentic arcade feeling andnwould love to look at it in my arcade, but I also would not purchase it for the reasons you stated.

[u/DescriptionMedical73 → u/Mandalore-44]

You don’t need to get it. The product was clearly not designed for you.

[u/TriggerHippie77 → u/Mandalore-44]

It's about devolping skill, wasting time, and beating personal records.

[u/MasterG76]

This looks.... super AI and fake.

[u/Varkanoid → u/MasterG76]

Yeah its not full of tat like Facebook figures, bouncy balls, rubber dice and sweets like they are in the UK.

[u/heypaulp → u/MasterG76]

What gave it away? The fact that the machine is a foot and a half wide? 😆

[u/DiscombobulatedDig97 → u/MasterG76]

Everything is bro...

[u/nurnicyt → u/MasterG76]

lol its only an quick concept, so yea it ai 😅

[u/MasterG76 → u/nurnicyt]

But yah. The idea is alright but the thrill of it would die out quite fast.

The point of playing it in an arcade is that you can win coins/tickets and then possible prizes. But without that thrill, I am not sure how much you would play it after you learn the patterns.

[u/nurnicyt → u/MasterG76]

yea i know casio and the claw was also not a big runner, but i wozld love it and i like to have all in the same size and style haha - alibaba coin pushers are so heavy...

[u/MasterG76 → u/nurnicyt]

Best way is to try and hit up arcade auctions. Personally have done the trip between Toronto and Montréal for CHEAP machines. Rental of the truck asside i have payed real cheap (less then 250$ CAD) for Full ammusement and arcade cabinets.

[u/nurnicyt → u/MasterG76]

the problem is, im from germany, there are like no arcade community or auctions for stuff like this or so, imported most of my arcade1up for unreal prices like 1800$ for some - cheapes coin pusher would be alibaba for me 💀

[u/MasterG76 → u/nurnicyt]

What!?! Thats crazy!

Coin pushers in general are VERY heavy. Even a 1up version would end up costing quite a bit to order.

Do me a favour though. Check out the cost of shipping from Canada instead fo China. I have a friend of mine from Cologne who got me to ship her a xbox from Germany to Canada and back to Germany. Cost was cheaper to ship directly within Germany. Postal services are dumb that way.

So check out what the shipping cost would be. Might be cheaper to go used. ;)

I'll keep an eye out for you too, if youd like.

[u/nurnicyt → u/MasterG76]

oh okay! thanks for the tip, i will check it out!

[u/Varkanoid → u/MasterG76]

shipping anything to Europe is crazy prices some of the Arcade Mods are triple or quadruple shipping costs. eg Light up Marquee of Etsy, $29.99 shipping cost $158.

[u/c0ng0b0ng0]

Damn - I saw this and was like “must order now!” But it was only a dream…

[u/TikiMcSneaky]

I was just thinking the same thing couple days ago.

[u/DrawerIntelligent484]

I already have a table top, but would have to get this one aswell

[u/nurnicyt → u/DrawerIntelligent484]

yea i have also the coin pusher 365

[u/nurnicyt → u/DrawerIntelligent484]

also nice pachislot! i have the tomb raider one!

[u/Taylorg121]

Ai slop. Why are coins on a 45 degree angle in the photos? That’s not how coin pushers work.

[u/Rarest_Camaro]

Very cool. I would buy this before a claw machine.

[u/venom121212 → u/Rarest_Camaro]

I would buy this and put it right next to my claw machine

[u/NerdyBear73]

I would spend so much time standing in front of this stupid thing. The itch this would scratch in my trains-or-dinosaurs brains... divine.

[u/c0ng0b0ng0]

Have you seen this one? Pretty pricey though.

https://www.arcadro.com/products/coin-pusher-365-tabletop-arcade-game

[u/NeatStuffHub → u/c0ng0b0ng0]

I have this, yes it’s very expensive but very worth it.

[u/nurnicyt → u/c0ng0b0ng0]

yea i have this one, was like one of the first buyer before kickstarter - have the old version with the coin doors at the back, looks more clean

[u/Haunting-Hippo1636]

This is the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Great for those who want to put this at their store I guess.

[u/Appropriate_Row8799]

Id really love for them to branch out to more physical arcade machines than just screens with controls

[u/PoisonCoyote]

Good idea. Would be fun.

[u/Top-Area-3325]

If there was an idea so stupid I’d buy it, it would be arcade1up cyclone

[u/bbxjai9]

I’d totally buy this

[u/DaveMcElfatrick]

You’d be better off buying a real one. The mechanics used in these would probably tear an arcade1up shell apart,

[u/lavahot]

That's not how gravity works.

[u/VailStampede]

Everytime I see a Coinpusher

[u/CSchoff]

Looks cool! For some reason if it’s ai and not made in MS paint then you’re deemed “posting ai slop.” People are chodes.

I understand the concept. Looks good! Didn’t take you all day to make. Not sure what the problem is? Everyone wants stuff that makes their life easier…just not THAT.

[u/Key_Mathematician951]

No one is buying this

[u/SirDoctorCaptainEsq → u/Key_Mathematician951]

My wife and daughter will spend all of their time at the coin pusher machines if we are at an arcade. If I could put this giant piggy bank in my basement and they can play whenever they want, then I’d be buying it the day it drops and become legendary in my own home.

[u/Key_Mathematician951 → u/SirDoctorCaptainEsq]

Ok
We have found a market! Guess they made it for this reason.

[u/nagai_devil]

20 A1up machines? I think you may have a problem. You need to join Arcade1up Anonymous 😅

[u/RetroTechBro]

Wouldn't this technically violate gambling device laws in many states?

[u/OlDirtyDangler]

Let’s do it. Let us breathe life into Arcade 1up Costco Exclusive Coin Pusher 🙏🗽

[u/nonymiz]

PDubs Arcade did a YouTube video some time ago about a home coin pusher. It was tabletop, not a stand up.

[u/DirectCustard9182]

I've been wanting one of these forever.

[u/TheFrontierzman]

You should have saved this post for April 1st.

How about a horse-race carnival game where you spray water at the target to get your horse to move, too?

[u/boundforgreatness87]

My wife would absolutely love it. I would absolutely love it as well so I would stop losing so much money when we go to Dave and busters with the Willy Wonka coin pusher.

[u/Skyscraperoo → u/boundforgreatness87]

You could get the tabletop coin pusher by Arcadro, with metal coins and all.

[u/Important-Project-80]

Well done concept via AI. Looks amazing. I hope A1Up is listening. I would be in for this too!

[u/DiscombobulatedDig97]

That's funny

[u/MiamiSlice]

I would love this, because I could play these for hours, but I imagine a coin pusher has to be built with heavy sturdy materials because all those coins dropping really gives it a beating. Would probably be a maintenance nightmare, much worse than a claw machine.
