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. This category of gaming machine is distinct from 'Amusement with Prize' (AWP) machines, which are interactive, but primarily rely on chance rather than skill to determine the game's outcome. 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.
