Benchmark Games Monster Drop

A ball drops, bounces off angled pegs, careens toward a spinning ticket wheel. Every play ends in a hole — the only question is which one.

Overview

Monster Drop is a single or two-player ball-drop redemption game from Benchmark Games International in which players time a release to hit rotating wheel values — including a cumulative Monster Bonus jackpot and multi-ball bonus rounds. Available as a 33-inch single cabinet or a side-by-side 67-inch double unit, it is Benchmark Games’ top-selling ball-drop title, designed with a win-every-time outcome structure so all players receive a ticket award on every play.

Key Features

Rotating Two-Level Platform with Multiple Target Holes

The playfield is a rotating two-level platform carrying distinct target holes: the Monster Jackpot on the upper level, plus a Mystery Value, standard Ticket Win zones, an Add Bonus Ball hole, and a Drop Bonus Balls hole on the lower level. The platform spins continuously during play, giving each ball drop a moving, changing target rather than a static hole layout.

Add Bonus Ball and Drop Bonus Balls System

When the ball lands in the Add Bonus Ball hole, extra balls are held in reserve. If a subsequent ball then lands in the Drop Bonus Balls hole, all reserved balls release simultaneously — a cascading multi-ball sequence visible across the full playfield, comparable to a pinball multi-ball event.

Cumulative Monster Bonus Jackpot

A ball bounced onto the upper platform and into the Monster Jackpot hole awards a cumulative jackpot that builds across plays. On the double cabinet, both player sides feed the same growing total. The wide marquee displays a red numerical LED readout showing the current jackpot value at all times.

LED Lighting and Marquee Display

LED lighting runs throughout the cabinet. The wide marquee carries flashing LED letters and a red numerical LED display showing the Monster Jackpot value. Large blue numerical LED displays inside the cabinet show additional information including smaller jackpot values — all readable from across the floor.

Intelli-Triple Ticket Dispenser

The single cabinet ships with one Intelli-Triple ticket dispenser rated at 18,000-ticket capacity. The double cabinet includes two dispensers at a combined 36,000-ticket capacity, reducing refill frequency on high-volume floor days.

Card Swipe Ready with Operator-Adjustable Settings

Both configurations ship card-swipe capable out of the box, accepting debit card or game card payment alongside standard coin operation. Several operator-adjustable settings allow payout and difficulty configuration to match venue requirements.

How It Plays

The player watches the rotating two-level platform below and presses a single button to release the ball at the moment a high-value segment comes into position. The ball ricochets off angled pegs as it falls, so even an off-target drop continues moving visibly through the playfield before settling in a scoring hole — and the win-every-time design ensures every play produces a ticket award. If bonus balls trigger, bystanders see multiple balls cascading the peg field simultaneously, the loudest and most visually active moment the cabinet produces.

Why Operators Love It

Fast Cycle, High Turnover

A single ball drop completes in seconds. The single-button input and quick-play format keep the cabinet cycling plays without long sessions blocking the machine.

Win-Every-Time Outcome Structure

The game is designed so that every play produces a ticket award — even balls that miss the jackpot and bonus holes land in a ticket-win zone. This outcome structure means younger players and first-time players always leave with something in hand.

Scalable Footprint — Single or Double

The single cabinet occupies a 33-inch-wide floor slot. The double cabinet expands to 67 inches and runs two players side by side, letting operators match the unit to available floor space and traffic volume.

Cashless Payment Ready Out of the Box

Both configurations accept debit card and game card payment alongside coins from day one — no retrofit hardware required for venues already running cashless systems.

Ideal Placement

Family entertainment centers, ticket redemption arcades, bowling alley game rooms, and trampoline park midways — anywhere a fast-cycle redemption title with a visible jackpot mechanic fits the floor plan.
