Competitor's Designs
As mentioned in other parts of the website, there have been some companies that have tried to make similar devices over the years. They all have the "old design" ramps that mount INSIDE of the funnel surface, thereby significantly cutting down the coin-path surface.

This old design is too tall for children, and because the base is the same size as the funnel, it creates a hazard when children try to stand on it. The width of the rim and the fact that the 2 coin ramps are mounted "inside" the funnel effectively turns it from the advertised 5-foot size down to a 4-foot size. |

This design uses a large wooden case, has a wide fiberglass lip, and the ramps are mounted well-inside the circumference. So its 5-foot outside diameter (and even larger box) is effectively only a 4-foot device with 2 ramps that launch coins in the same direction. |
Our Seven-Footer (diagonal measurement) actually takes up LESS floor space, but because we mount our ramps OUTSIDE the funnel in the "corners" we have a full five-feet of coin-rolling surface (actually a little more than that at 62").
And of course, 8 people can launch coins at the same time with our patent pending design.
