Smart Industries Begins Shipping Ducky Crane

DE MOINES, IA -- Smart Industries Corp. said it is shipping its My Little Ducky crane machine in skill or play-till-you win formats. The merchandise-themed amusement device with a 24" x 24" footprint was previewed during November's IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, FL, to rave reviews.

"My Little Duck is a low-cost, high-return product," said Smart's Jim Dupree. "The rubber duck concept is widely recognizable and appeals to a large number of people. And this machine really sells the idea from a distance."

Boasting an attention-grabbing marquee header with three rubber ducks, the single-player machine features a four-way joystick, prize detection system, programmable corner LEDs and interactive sound effects.
