Pac-Man Chomp Mania

Pac-Man Chomp Mania, originally known as Pac-Man Ticket Mania, is an arcade game developed by Raw Thrills and released in 2013 by Bandai Namco Amusement America. It is a redemption-based version of the original Pac-Man.
== Gameplay ==
The player must finish one round of Pac-Man with only one life. Fruits will appear and bounce around the screen, similar to Ms. Pac-Man.
After the first level is completed, the player is able to enter the "Pac Pot". Pac-Man will be placed in a maze with no dots, and the Ghosts will aggressively pursue him; the player must navigate Pac-Man inside of the Ghost Home to win a prize. The machine can be set to dispense either tickets (with a jackpot of 1000 tickets) or gift cards; though it is set to dispense tickets by default.
The Chomp Mania machine features a large, animated marquee made up of many LEDs. The marquee displays pixel animations pertaining to the player's gameplay.
== Trivia ==
*The game was initially released under the title Pac-Man Ticket Mania. The name was (rather quickly) changed to Chomp Mania in later machine runs, likely due to the added option to have the machine dispense non-ticket prizes.
*When initially shown at trade shows (such as Amusement Expo 2013), Ms. Pac-Man appeared on the LED marquee;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh_cCdl05NM she was removed from the final release, presumably due to the legal issues surrounding the IP.
*A semi-sequel to this machine, Galaga Assault, was released in 2016; it is a redemption-based version of Galaga.
*Raw Thrills would later release a consumer-sold "Pac-Man Premium LED Desk Clock", which uses a similar display to the Chomp Mania LED marquee.
*The cabinet's side artwork and logo are based on the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures artstyle.
*A line of bootleg machines are known to exist which use an almost identical machine design to Pac-Man Chomp Mania, but feature an iCade 60-in-1 board inside (with no redemption functionality).
