"Gumball machines generally accept some form of coin-based payment. A coin is inserted, and once the handle is twisted, a gumball is released from the holding area and rolls down into the hand of the purchaser"

"Gumball machines basically rely on gravity. A gumball is resting higher than the door where it is released. When the handle is turned, a door opens and the gumball naturally slides down a ramp toward the exit."
