Lucky Ball Single vs Dual Station: Width, Prize Layout and Order Planning

01Choose the layout before comparing the price

Both Lucky Ball versions place visible ball drums below three prize tiers. The single-station cabinet has one drum, one front crank and one collection opening. The dual version has two of each, with an illuminated central divider between the play areas.

The single version is the narrower option for one prize-game position. The dual creates a paired display within one wider cabinet. Two visible controls are not enough to prove independent or simultaneous operation; that behavior belongs in the demonstration and quote for the dual version.

02The practical comparison in one table

03One dual cabinet uses less width than two single cabinets

At the stated widths, one dual cabinet is 150 cm wide and two singles total 160 cm before gaps. The 10 cm difference is a calculation from the supplier dimensions, not a measured installation result. Player space, spacing between machines and service access can change the final floor-plan comparison.

Two separate cabinets can be placed in different positions or moved individually. One dual cabinet creates a continuous paired display but requires an access route suitable for its 150 cm width. Neither arrangement can be selected on cabinet width alone: include delivery access, refill routes and the way the play areas will be supervised.

04Understand what the single-station rule sheet actually says

The single-station supplier introduction describes inserting coins and turning the crank to roll balls into pockets. A colored-ball result corresponds to a prize of the same color; five white-ball results are described as unlocking a random prize.

That description does not explain how white-ball progress is accumulated or reset, nor does it confirm identical rules for the dual version. Have the selected build demonstrate colored and white outcomes, unsuccessful play and any reset behavior. Keep the approved rule wording with the order so the customer-facing instructions match the installed settings.

05Plan prizes by tier and by station

The visible tiers organize the prize presentation, but the images do not provide usable dispensing dimensions or approved package weights. Test the intended items in the actual tier and collection path. A prize that fits the display can still be unsuitable for dispensing.

For the dual version, keep left and right stocking records separate until the configuration confirms how credits, progress, dispensing and operator controls are shared. Do not double the single-station power figure to estimate the dual’s electrical requirement.

• Identify each proposed prize pack and the tier where it will be placed.
• Record dispensing and collection results using that pack.
• Specify payment configuration and game settings for each station.
• Obtain the dual-specific electrical rating, weight and packed size.

06Which version belongs on your shortlist?

Choose the single as the starting point when you are planning one narrower play position or want to distribute individual cabinets across separate locations. Consider the dual when you want a paired feature and the site can accommodate its width, access route and two player positions. A venue pilot should validate the selected setup before it becomes a repeat-order specification.

Send Arcade Supply Hub the intended quantity, location dimensions, destination and prize list. If you are comparing both versions, request separate equipment and packing lines for each. This keeps the comparison useful even when the two cabinets have different electrical, configuration or delivery requirements.
