I have always wanted one of these. I can remember seeing these in the arcades and thought at the time they looked exciting and fun.

You put your money in,and then the elephant went into the cave and came back out carrying a small white box which it then tipped into the chest for you to retrieve from the machine.

Once you opened the box thats when the magic disappeared as the box contained a piece of cheap tat.
Leaving you wondering why you bothered, still that didn't stop me from trying again!
