A Skill With Prize or Skill With Prizes plural (SWP) is a gaming machine which provides a payout (the prize) and whose outcome depends in part on the player's skill (the skill). They are contrasted with Amusement With Prizes machines which, while interactive, do not depend on the player's skill in determining outcome. SWP machines are a hybrid of games of skill and games of chance; the degree to which skill versus chance determines the outcome varies between machines, and may be set by operator parameters. == Examples == Stacker is a common free-standing merchandiser SWP machine. In the United Kingdom, the most common class of SWP machines are quiz machines, on such platforms as the itbox, and are widely found in public houses. Indeed, "quiz machine" is often used interchangeably with "SWP" for such counter-top machines, though not all games on these devices are quiz-based: other games include ''Crystal Maze,'' based on The Crystal Maze, and Word Up. Another class of SWP machines are free-standing machines, generally found in video arcades. These are frequently merchandisers – devices containing prizes – most commonly claw cranes, and more recently Stacker. Other examples include Barber Cut and Barber Cut Lite by Namco Bandai Games.〔(Namco Arcade - Game - Barber Cut Lite )〕 There are also a number of SWP games specific to Japan, such as ''Move Sector'' and ''Ring Magician''. Another class are redemption games, which rather than containing prizes, instead dispense tickets which can be redeemed for prizes. Some machines, such as Flamin' Finger and Stacker, can be configured as either merchandisers or redemption games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skill with prize」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
