Skill with prize

A 'Skill with Prize' (SWP) machine is a gaming device that awards payouts based on a combination of the player's skill and elements of chance.

The degree to which skill and chance influence the outcome can differ significantly among SWP machines and may be modified by the operator to adjust the balance between the two.

[2] For example, Barber Cut is advertised as "more addicting than any other prize redemption game, and those repeat plays will land right in your cash box!

[5] As of November 1, 2010, all UK SWP machines must adhere to strict guidelines set by the BACTA (British Amusement Catering Trade Association) & the Gambling Commission.

There are also limits set on the level of skill needed to play, for example, there must be a minimum amount of time for a player to react to the game.
