Zoltar Fortune Teller Machine Overview

Fortune teller machines are very old. A coin-operated “Verbal Fortune Teller” was made around 1904, and many other figures followed in penny arcades. Zoltar became a star after Big in 1988.

Here is a fact most pages skip. The wish-granting machine in Big was a one-of-a-kind movie prop that mixed a skill game with a fortune teller. The Zoltar you can buy today works like a classic fortune teller. His head, eyes and mouth move. His hand waves over a crystal ball. Then he talks and gives you a fortune card.

Key Features of Zoltar Fortune Teller Machine

• Animated movement: the head, eyes and mouth move while Zoltar speaks (Premium and Standard models).
• Spoken fortunes: each play gives you a new voice fortune.
• Fortune cards: the machine dispenses a double-sided card, about 4 inches (10 cm), to keep.
• Waving hand and crystal ball: adds a magical show for every player.
• Coin-operated option: the Premium and Standard models include coin gear. The Economy model does not.
• Three model levels: Premium, Standard and Economy. The Economy model mostly talks with eye movement and gives a card.
• Custom themes: Characters Unlimited also makes other fortune tellers, such as a pirate and a witch.
