How it's used
People in Hong Kong often shorten this term to just 機動遊戲 when referring to the ride itself, as the final character 機 is redundant in most casual contexts. It specifically refers to mechanical rides found in theme parks like Ocean Park, rather than simple playground equipment or arcade machines.
