Prize Vault - machine for suckers


This Prize Vault is located in the food court of the Paddock Mall in Ocala.  I've often sat and watched people try to "unlock" a prize using hand levers.  I have never see anyone have any success.

But it's very tantalizing and addictive because you can come extremely close.  Thus people keep shoving dollar bills into its maw thinking that next time they will get that prize!

Wish I was the owner!
