Hungry Shark is a one-player ball-throw redemption cabinet from Lifun. A guest inserts a coin or swipes a card, presses start and throws at the bank of shark targets set behind the mesh screen. Every shark knocked down adds to the score, and the score turns into tickets when the round ends. A round is only a handful of throws, so the cabinet keeps turning over even when a queue forms behind it.
It is made for the family side of a game floor — mall game corners, cinema foyers, indoor carnival zones and the younger end of a family entertainment centre. One player at a time and a narrow footprint let it take leftover floor that is too tight for a two-player table, while the lit marquee, printed shark artwork and blue base glow pick it out from the far end of a dim aisle. Where the teen crowd already queues at a racing cabinet, this is the cabinet their younger brothers and sisters can play on the same patch of carpet; for an operator comparing an arcade racing machine for sale, it is the family-side addition to that aisle.
Floors whose main draw is racing arcade games for sale use it to widen the age range without rearranging anything: the rules take one glance, the round is short, and the bonus ladder gives a player a reason to stay for one more go.

The cabinet combines wood panels, moulded plastic parts and metal framing. The side panels carry glossy printed shark artwork, the marquee above the target area is illuminated, and the base glows blue — enough light to pull a family across a dark aisle without adding a single poster to the wall.
The playfield is enclosed behind mesh side barriers, so balls stay in the cabinet instead of rolling across the floor. That saves attendants a lot of bending on a busy Saturday and keeps the throwing area clear for the next player. Shark targets sit on shelves behind the mesh, and the angled control console puts large coloured buttons within easy reach of younger players.
A warning printed on the lower cabinet asks players not to step on the base. Keep it visible, stand the machine on level ground, and treat the base as a housing rather than a step.

Lifun is an arcade game brand based in Guangdong, China, supplying entertainment venues at home and overseas. Our cabinets are made for continuous public play, with straightforward service access and dependable components that keep daily running simple. Colours, cabinet artwork and branding can be customised to your venue, so a machine feels like part of your floor rather than an off-the-shelf unit. Tell us your site, your market and how you plan to use the space, and our team will help you choose and prepare the right setup.
Yes — the whole game is throw, hit, score, with no controller to learn and no track to memorise, so guests who never play arcade racing games still take a round. Younger children play with a parent standing behind them, and adults play the same cabinet without it feeling like a children's machine.
Every score band on the cabinet pays a fixed number of tickets, and reaching the 800-point top band releases the highest award. Players can read the ladder before they start, which is the point: a visible target is what turns one round into three. Ticket redemption is specified as an optional accessory, so confirm at order stage that the dispenser is included and set up for the ticket stock your venue uses.
The cabinet measures L245 × W110 × H241 cm, so it takes a strip of floor roughly 2.45 m long and 1.1 m deep. Leave clear floor in front for a player to stand and throw, and keep the back accessible so a technician can open the cabinet for service. Check doorways, lift dimensions and the route in before delivery day, especially in malls with service corridors.
The machine runs on 110V or 220V at 50/60 Hz and draws 330–400W, so it can be configured for the supply at your venue without an external voltage converter. Give us the destination country at order stage, and have your electrician confirm the socket and circuit before the cabinet arrives.
Yes. It is a standalone single-player cabinet, so it needs no partner machine and no linking cable — put it at the end of a driving bay or in a family aisle of its own. The two sell different kinds of round: a driving bay holds a player for minutes at a time, while this cabinet turns a queue of short visits into repeat plays.
Yes — the same maker builds basketball, air hockey, claw and other redemption machines, plus racing arcade games for sale, so a multi-position floor can be ordered as one list. Ask for the current catalogue and we will put the mix together around this cabinet.
