A crane game, of the sort popular in amusement arcades, has prizes supported
on
a horizontal surface arranged to move upwards as prizes are delivered to players.
Prize separating posts extend through the movable horizontal surface to keep deformable
prizes near the bottom of the prize bin from being jammed together. This allows
the game to hold a greater prize inventory. In addition, an arrangement is provided
for measuring and displaying the grabbing force being exerted by the prize grabbing
mechanism in order to assure a player of the game that it is performing in a consistent manner.
