A full-size, plug-and-play Pro-Line coin pusher that draws and holds a crowd at events, game rooms and brand activations. Stainless steel oversized trays, a skill slider and moving coin-slot keep players engaged, while sloped house-skimmers and a built-in nudge alarm protect your take. Vandal-proof cabinetry, color-changing LED lighting and a USB sound system with subwoofer — holds up to 3,000 coins or tokens, with matching metal game tokens available as an option.
The sound of coins dropping and the sight of stacks teetering on the edge, ready to fall — this full-size, plug-and-play coin pusher is the real deal, and it is always occupied.
Players drop coins or tokens onto a moving playfield, timing each release to trigger chain reactions that shove stacks and prizes over the edge into the payout tray. The concept is simple and instantly addictive, which is exactly why this Pro-Line series machine draws a crowd and holds it. It arrives full-size and ready to switch on — no assembly, no learning curve for your staff.
Why it works on the floor
A coin pusher is a magnet for dwell time. The near-misses keep players feeding the slot, and the noise and motion pull the next person in line before the last one has walked away. Stand several side by side and you create an inviting row that reads as an attraction from across the room — ideal for game rooms, brand activations, trade shows and events. The cabinet was designed for flexibility: a tactical 145 cm height suits standing play, while the coin slots, skill slider and coin box are positioned so players can also reach everything comfortably while seated. For standing-only setups the machine is typically placed on a pedestal or raised platform as part of the room decor.
Built to earn, built to last
Full-size, sturdy "vandal-proof" cabinetry in solid wood, stainless steel and acrylic carries the machine’s 55 kg of presence. Oversized stainless steel platforms hold more coins, with sloped side "house-skimmers" that route skimmed coins into a separate rear chamber to give the house its edge, plus a large coin box for the take. A raised slider edge adds the thrill of stacks balancing on the verge of falling, and the side shelving gives you room to display prizes or coin towers. Castor wheels and adjustable stabiliser feet make placement easy on any floor.
Skill, sound and anti-cheat as standard
A top-mounted skill slider lets players manipulate where coins land left to right, turning a game of chance into one of interaction and repeat play. The moving top coin-slot adds a further skill element. A built-in nudge detector is standard on every machine: push or shake the cabinet and the coin funnel instantly closes, diverting all falling coins to the house — an instant penalty for rough players. A three-way adjustable sound system with subwoofer and USB input fills the space with arcade audio, and you can load your own tunes to match a brand or event. A coin acceptor and comparator automatically rejects foreign coins.
Coin pushers play best with metal coins or currency. A well-filled machine can hold up to 3,000 coins or tokens, so many operators combine local currency with metal game tokens to keep players going longer — and some regions don’t permit play with real currency at all. Matching metal game tokens are available as an option and are highly recommended alongside the machine.
Also known as a coin dozer, coin pusher or coin-pusher arcade machine — Gold Digger Edition, Pro-Line series. GTIN-13 / EAN 05419980302106.
Full artwork as standard, with matching metal game tokens available as an option. Place single, in a row, or on a pedestal for standing play.
This EC Declaration of Conformity (Annex II.1.A, Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) confirms that the Professional Coin Pusher Arcade Machine – Full-Size Gold Digger Edition, manufactured by Made for Arcade B.V., Besterdstraat 9a, 5051HH Goirle, Nederland, complies with the relevant provisions of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
Harmonised standards applied: EN ISO 12100:2010, EN IEC 61000-6-1, EN IEC 61000-6-3, EN IEC 63000. The technical file is held by the manufacturer at the address above.
The Golddigger coin pusher is intended for use as entertainment. The outcome of the game is based on the luck and skill of the player as well as the objects placed in the machine. The player can influence the game with the skill slider and by aiming the coin hopper. This premium “limited edition” model adds RGB lighting, a premium audio system, a tilt-bob, house skimmers (the automatic house-bank diverter) and a digital coin computer with an on-board settings menu. The minimum age for use is 12 years; underage players should only use the machine under the direct supervision of an adult.
Intended use
The machine is intended for entertainment use — in the home, at events and at venues — always under the supervision of a competent adult. It is not intended for gambling or for the payout of money; tokens and prizes are for amusement only. The minimum age is twelve; underage players should only play under adult supervision. Do not leave the machine in operation unattended.
Safety warnings
This is a heavy machine — always keep it upright and place it on a flat, stable surface.
Live mains (220 V / 50 Hz) is present inside the machine whenever the doors or panels are open. Always switch off and remove the plug before opening.
Beware of crushing — keep hands and body parts out of the machine, as the coin slide can begin moving immediately at start-up.
Connect the machine through a good-quality surge protector; sensitive electronics can be damaged by power spikes.
Do not connect the machine if the machine, wiring, components or connection cable are damaged.
Do not disassemble, alter or modify the machine without our permission.
Unpacking and preparation
When unpacking the machine, make sure it always remains upright. The machine may be stabilised in its crate by the extended levelling feet. Do not slide the machine back and forth while the levelling feet are extended — instead carefully lift it a little and turn the levelling feet in, so the machine ultimately rests on its castors. Remove the keys from the front by carefully cutting the pull strap (do not pull on the strap). Open the front door with one of the keys to find the connection cable. Before first use, the coin acceptor must be trained on the coins you will use (see below).
Commissioning
The coin pusher works on 220 volts / 50 Hz. Inspect the outside and inside of the machine and the power cord for defects — open all panels and doors and check for damage or loose connections. Do not connect anything damaged. Close and lock all doors and panels with the enclosed keys, insert the connection cable into the back, and plug into a proper socket. Beware of crushing — keep hands out of the machine. Switch on with the red switch next to the connection cable. The machine starts up automatically, the RGB lighting and (if fitted) audio begin, and the coin slide may start moving immediately.
Operation of the machine
Inside the cabinet is a flat plate covered with tokens. One side is bordered by an opening connected to the return box (from which the player withdraws tokens and prizes). On the opposite side a slider moves back and forth like a bulldozer over the plate, toward the opening. Tokens are dropped onto the plate through the insertion slot; the aim is to push tokens over the edge into the return box. Prizes are won by placing prizes or plastic vouchers between the tokens so they are pushed off together with the coins.
Insert coins of the correct thickness and diameter into the coin hopper at the top. The coins fall and push the tokens on the platform toward the edge. By moving the coin hopper left and right you influence where the coins land. Use the skill slider to stop the platform at a tactical moment so coins fall onto an empty spot; the platform resumes after a short while, or when the slider is released.
Training the coin acceptor
The built-in coin acceptor detects inserted coins and sorts them by diameter and thickness. The coin acceptor is located inside the machine directly behind the insertion slot. By pushing out the two yellow retaining clips, the entire coin acceptor can be clicked out of the metal holder for easier access.
To train the coin acceptor, a sample coin must be placed inside it. Slide the coin holder up with your thumb, place a coin under the coin-holder slide, then slowly let the coin-holder clamp back onto the inserted coin. The diameter of inserted coins is now checked against this sample.
Next, set the thickness. Place a coin in the insertion slot and check whether it falls through to the machine. If the coin gets stuck, the thickness setting is too thin — move the red slider to the right to allow thicker coins. For more detailed instructions, see the video explanation on the Made for Arcade website.
Bypass valve (house skimmer)
The coin pusher is equipped with an automatically controlled diversion (bypass) valve that sends falling coins either to the prize bin, where players can collect them, or to a secret locked compartment (“the house bank”).
If the machine is not played for some time, the bypass valve switches to the “home position”. Any coins that fall now go to the house and can no longer be reached by the player.
If the machine is pushed or moved by a player, the bypass valve immediately switches to the “home position”. As a penalty, any coins that fall now go to the house.
When coins are inserted, the diversion valve switches to “playing mode”. Any coins or prizes that fall now go to the prize bin, which the player can withdraw to use for additional games or to collect prizes.
Tilt-bob
The coin pusher is equipped with a “tilt-bob”, a mechanical clapper that detects movement, pushing or rough play. The clapper hangs at the back right of the machine. If it moves and hits the metal ring, an alarm sounds and the diversion valve switches to the “house position” for a period of time, diverting falling coins to the house bank. The sensitivity of the clapper can be adjusted by turning the plumb-bob weight on the end of the clapper up or down.
RGB lighting
The Golddigger’s RGB lighting runs automatically whenever the machine is powered on — it is decorative and needs no operation. If your model includes a lighting mode/colour control, it is located with the other controls behind the front door.
Audio system
The premium audio system at the back of the machine starts playing automatically as soon as the power is switched on. The music or background sounds are stored as MP3 files on an inserted USB stick; these files can be changed or supplemented by the user. The audio system has buttons for adjusting volume, bass and treble, as well as a separate on/off button that lets you switch off the audio completely while the machine is in operation.
The controller and settings menu
The digital controller (“coin computer”) is mounted inside the machine and has a small display and a 4-button service keypad. It is for the operator/servicer — players do not use it. From top to bottom the buttons are:
Button

Setting up for events & free-play
For brand activations, fairs and free-to-play use you can tune the machine entirely from the settings menu — no mechanical changes needed:
More credits per token: raise a2 (e.g. 5–10).
Longer play per coin: raise a1 (e.g. 60 or higher) for more dwell time.
Run without payout (pure entertainment / brand activation): set a3 high (e.g. 20) so the payout threshold is rarely met.
Usage reports: read a5, a6 and a7 before and after an event to report coins in, coins out and wins.
Error codes
If the display shows an EE_ code, use the table below. Always switch off and unplug before opening the machine to investigate.
Code
Meaning
Likely cause / what to check
EE_02
Coin-out error
Payout hopper or coin sensor fault — a jam, an empty hopper, or a blocked/faulty optical sensor.
EE_03
Winning-sensor error
The win-chute optical sensor is blocked or disconnected — clear any obstruction and check the connection.
EE_04
Anti-shake error
The tilt sensor has triggered repeatedly — usually the machine being shaken, or a stuck sensor. Let it settle, or check the tilt-bob.
Clamping (stuck) coins
If coins get stuck in the coin acceptor during insertion, the coin acceptor needs to be adjusted better (see “Training the coin acceptor”). To remove stuck coins, press the red lever on top of the coin acceptor to allow the coins to pass through. The lever can also be operated while the coin acceptor is still clicked into place.
Coin counter
The controller is located on the inside of the front door. It has a coin counter that counts all coins inserted during the life of the machine. This mechanical counter cannot be reset and indicates how often the machine has been used. It may already show a value before the first use — this is normal, because the machine is extensively tested and checked again before shipment. (The digital controller additionally keeps its own audit totals under codes a5–a7.)
Periodic maintenance
Keep the plate, coin chute and sensors clean and free of debris; a blocked win-chute sensor is the most common cause of an EE_03. Periodically check the power cord and plug for damage, and confirm the levelling feet keep the machine stable. Always switch off and unplug before cleaning inside.
Taking the machine out of service
Turn off the switch on the back of the machine and remove the plug from the socket so that the power supply is completely interrupted. Do not leave the machine unattended while it is connected to the power supply.
Precautionary measures
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface and keep it upright.
Connect through a surge protector; switch off and unplug before opening or cleaning inside.
Keep hands out of the mechanism — the pusher can start moving at any time.
Supervise the machine with a competent adult; it is for entertainment only, not gambling or money payout.
Do not disassemble, alter or modify the machine without our permission.
