Since 2007, Detail Design and Fabrication (DD&F), has been the official sign and graphic partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. DD&F was recently challenged to come up with a re-design to the traditional Plinko style game. KaChingKo was created, and is now the Arizona Diamondbacks newest in-game promotion.

DD&F started with design renderings, to refine the size and mechanical workings of the game. The D-Backs arrived at naming the project KaChingKo, and the project was released for production. Materials used for the game were steel, aluminum, lexan backer with a clear front cover and large format prints.

The portable game is on wheels, and is unique because of its size and electronic rotating center which is operated by an electric motor with a reduction gearbox and chain drive to rotate the 8-foot circle. The KaChingKo game uses six-inch-wide plastic pucks, which are dropped down into approximately 93 pins that redirect the puck in addition to the center rotating. The project took the DD&F team three weeks to design and create.

During an inning break of each D-backs home game, a KaChingKo contestant will be featured on the dbTV scoreboard while dropping a game piece down the prize board for a chance to win great prizes.
