Shenmue/Capsule toy machines

Multiple capsule toy machines can be found in each game in the Shenmue series; by spending money or tokens, a random item will be rewarded. Choosing to use a capsule toy machine will cost a fixed amount and will award a single guaranteed item.

Items in the Shenmue series can be split into three types: rare, common, and bomb. Capsule toys from each category are uniformly likely to occur, but probabilities of receiving a capsule toy of a particular type may vary from machine to machine.
