INTRODUCTION
GAME FEATURES
The brand new
PLUSH BUS™
all metal crane game
by I.C.E. was designed with the operator in mind.
Reliability, low maintenance, themed cabinetry, and
all metal construction are the key design features,
exactly what is needed to ensure a combination of
long life and profit.
With nearly the entire construction made of metal, it
was only natural to Powder Epoxy Coat everything,
inside and out. This provides the owner – operator
with a game that will certainly outlast its wooden
counterparts. A few of the major advantages of all
metal construction include:
-
Vault like security
-
Long service life
-
Low maintenance
- High
Durability
All windows, of the
PLUSH BUS™
,
are ¼” tempered
glass to provide an easy clean, maximum safety,
scratch resistant surface. Other features include, 40
strand conductor cables to prevent wire fatigue, full
range of operator adjustable software, and a newly
designed crane mechanism.
The first step in I.C.E.’s new crane design was to
select several leading cranes available on the
market today, observe and determine what problems
can be or are causes of failure and costly down time.
I.C.E. then surveyed operators nation wide,
requesting information like:
-
What are the leading causes of crane
failures in your locations
-
What are some problems in servicing
cranes
-
What changes would you make to current
cranes to create a better machine
I.C.E.’s engineers then compiled all critical data,
addressed and corrected each problem and used
this information to create what we call the
PLUSH
BUS™
.
This method of design ensures that the needs and
concerns of the owner-operators dictate the final
design parameters, for who knows a crane’s
attributes and faults better than a crane operator.
GAME PLAY
As coins are inserted into the
PLUSH BUS™
all
metal crane game, the sound of a “BUS” starting is
heard. When sufficient coins have been inserted, the
engine starts, the claw clicks closed and re-opens,
which signals the start of the game. The crane will
position itself in the middle of the “play field” and
remain there, with the engine running, until the
player is ready.
When the player has moved the joystick or pressed
the buttons, to move the crane, the timer on the right
display will begin to count down. The player will
position the crane above the prize they are
attempting to win and press the drop button to lower
the claw.
If the nudging option is on, then the player will have
the ability to keep “nudging” the claw down each
time the button is pressed to home-in on the chosen
prize. If the nudging option is off, then the player will
have only one chance to drop the claw.
When the claw is fully dropped it will close and
retract to its upper most position. The crane will
then automatically position itself over the prize chute
at the rear of the cabinet. The claw will open,
releasing the prize into the prize chamber. The
player can now remove the prize from the chamber
through the prize door located in the front, lower left
corner of the game. The game is now in its home
position and is ready for the next player in line.

*The crane will remain in the home position if game type (option 1) is set to 2 or 3. In this option the player has only two buttons, one for right travel
and one for forward travel. The crane will remain in the home position to allow the player access to the entire play field.
