Redemption

Redemption games are typically arcade games of skill that reward the player proportionally to their score in the game or identepend of the price for one game. The reward most often comes in the form of tickets, with more tickets being awarded for higher scores. These tickets can then be redeemed (hence the name) at a central location for prizes. The most inexpensive prizes (candy, small plastic or rubber toys) may require only a small number of tickets to acquire, while the most expensive ones (skateboards, low-end electronics) may require higher numers of  points or tickets.  Redemption games can be seen as the modern successor to carnival games, as the same general principles apply.
