Smart Industries Kerp Ker Plop

A skill-based merchandising game where players time an actuator drop to release prizes from rotating clips.

When timed correctly, prize clips open to release rewards, with special clips unlocking larger “grand” prizes. Its skill-based mechanics differentiate it from pure chance games while offering operators full control over difficulty settings and prize flow.
