Buyer's Guide: Picking the right machine

Token Machines

Capacity (hopper size), token size (most common: 0.984"), cabinet material, mounting, audit counters, and lock quality matter most. For high‑traffic venues, prefer steel construction and >3,000‑token capacity.

Bill Changers

Single vs dual‑hopper, accepted denominations, validator brand (MEI, Mars, ICT), and serviceability. Dual hoppers reduce downtime; look for high‑visibility out‑of‑service indicators.

Coin & Token Counters

Throughput (coins/min), batch counting, jam‑resistance, and noise level. Mixed‑denomination counter/sorters save time in redemption areas and laundries.

Arcade Cabinets

Decide on bartop vs full‑size, LCD size, control layout, and whether you want a kit or pre‑built. For commercial use, confirm T‑molding durability and access panels for service.

FAQ

How do I add real products?

Replace items in the CATALOG array (top of file) with real ASINs, images, titles, and blurbs. Set your Amazon tag in AFFILIATE_TAG. Avoid showing prices unless fetched via Amazon's PA‑API; instead, send users to Amazon to see current prices.

Can I show prices?

Only if you use the official Product Advertising API and refresh pricing frequently. Safer for compliance: omit prices and use a "Check price" button (already implemented).

SEO tips for this niche?

Publish guides like "Token Sizes Explained (0.984 vs 0.900)", "Dual‑Hopper vs Single‑Hopper Changers", maintenance checklists, and troubleshooting for validators. Add photos of installations and before/after upgrades.

How can I track clicks?

Links include UTM parameters. You can also add lightweight analytics (e.g., Plausible) and event listeners to record clicks.
