Since the casinos moved mostly to TITO (ticket in, ticket out) they have fallen out of favor as their is no longer change stations on the floor, and casino cages typically don't keep rolled coin like they used to.

Some states like PA, WV, have them in arcades and amusement areas like bowling alleys as they loosely get defined as games of skill similar to the claw games that grab prizes or the skill stop machines that drop prizes when you stop the lights at the right place by pressing a button.

We had a couple in our casino in Laughlin.
