I'm having a problem with moisture getting into my gumball machines which is making the gumballs all sticky and they jam up the machines. The climate here is very hot and humid (tropical) and I don't have the option of locations in air conditioned buildings. Does anyone have any suggestions that we could try?? We're thinking cornstarch or rice somehow.

Try Silica Gel Packs. You will need to have some sort of holder attached to the underside of the product cover to keep the packs from getting mixed in the product. They come in different sizes (grams) and many manufacturers use them now. I often see them in beef jerky packages.
Another consideration is to avoid soft candy product and obviously anything chocolate.
Hard pressed candy would be the way to go or if possible, add more toy & novelties.
