This is a common question for arcade owners or entrepreneurs looking to optimize costs. The direct answer is: it depends entirely on the manufacturer or supplier. Many standard packages include a starter set of prizes. However, most suppliers are willing to negotiate. You can often request a machine without the included prizes, which may lead to a lower price. The cost reduction might not be as significant as expected, as the bulk of the price is in the machine hardware, software, and shipping. For large bulk orders, this request is more commonly accepted. Always communicate directly with your supplier to discuss customizing your order. Specify that you want the machine only, and ask for a revised quote. This approach allows you to source your own prizes separately, potentially at better wholesale rates. Remember to confirm if warranties or support terms change with a modified order.
