1. A coin-operated arcade game system, comprising a physical see-through game box, an external game control panel, an internal color game display, a hopper for ball dropping coupled with a hopper sensor for detecting said ball dropping, a prize package dispenser and a rack thereof, a flat tray, a sweeper, a ball funnel, an internal ball purveyor, a prize pickup bin, a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a memory component, a circuit board, an audio output device;
wherein said game control panel further comprises a coin input device operable to accept a coin from a player at said game box;
wherein said color game display operable to display a graphical interface of a gameplay in response to said coin input;
wherein said microprocessor, said GPU, and said circuit board, together, provide and control a gameplay, that comprises a graphical interface that in turn comprises a left virtual wheel and a right virtual wheel, a left virtual X sign and a right virtual X sign, a virtual ball, a prize drop progress bar, a prize ticket counter, a ball counter, a coin counter;
wherein said game display is operable in response to said coin input presenting said virtual left and right wheels spinning, and said audio output device playing a preconfigured tune;
wherein said ball release control button is operable to release a ball down said hopper from a ball storage;
wherein said hopper sensor is operable to detect a ball drop and send a signal to said microprocessor;
wherein said left and right virtual X signs are controllable to receive a command from said microprocessor to blink in response to said ball drop signal;
wherein said left and right virtual wheels are controllable to send their sectors' data, including relative position to said left and right virtual X signs', respectively, in response to said ball drop signal;
wherein said microprocessor is operable to cause a prize win response in response to a prize win event when a sector of said left and right virtual wheels lines up with said left and right virtual X signs, respectively;
wherein said flat tray catch a ball after its exiting said hopper;
wherein said sweeper continuously pushes near balls that touch it toward said game box's front a preconfigured fixed distance; wherein said near balls in turn push distant balls that lie on said flat tray distant from said sweeper; wherein said distant balls are pushed off an edge of said flat tray into said ball funnel;
wherein said flat tray catch a prize package that is also pushed by said sweeper and said near balls toward an edge of said flat tray; wherein said prize package is pushed off said edge of said flat tray into said prize pickup bin.
