capsule machine

Coin-operated toy dispenser

A capsule machine is a vending machine that dispenses small toys, trinkets, or collectibles enclosed in plastic capsules.

You insert coins, turn a knob, and a random capsule drops out.

Common in arcades, grocery stores, and outside restaurants, they appeal especially to children: She spent all her quarters on the capsule machine trying to get the tiny dinosaur.
