A sleek, modern crane line from Coastal Amusements with frosted translucent fixtures backlit by bright LEDs — an attractive spectacle on a timeless idea. Reliable Coastal mechanics under the hood; choose your cabinet color to match any room.
A first-of-its-kind triple-claw crane: players control three claws at once with a single joystick — with patent-pending side-to-side movement — tripling the chance to win, with a shot at three prizes in a single play. A brightly lit, mirror-backed cabinet that draws a crowd from across the room.
The next generation of plush cranes, fronted by a uniquely shaped LCD marquee that runs attract-mode video. Open-face tempered glass, RGB LED color selection and back-shelf prize racks make it a modern centerpiece; it banks easily with other units and swaps claws for different toy sizes.
Zooom Studios' instant-win crane with a bold American-show theme, an eye-catching marquee, and a mirrored prize shelf that makes the prize wall pop. Quality construction and exciting sounds make it a strong, all-ages earner.
The first and only officially licensed Butts on Things crane — the viral internet brand jumped from the screen into plush and rubber “fruity booty” merchandise. A compact, affordable 24" cabinet with a backlit topper marquee that fits almost any location.
Part of Zooom Studios' Depot Line of vibrant single-player claw cranes — colorful, dependable earners with a small footprint that fit anywhere from a street route to an FEC.

A 2024 timing-skill standout: press to start the timer and press again to stop it at exactly 10.000 seconds for the grand prize. Near-misses still pay out from eight smaller side prizes, so nearly everyone wins, and the dazzling LED display cabinet pulls players in from across the floor.
A tower-drop skill-stop game that brings the rush of a drop ride to the floor. Players use lightning reactions to stop the drop in the high bonus-ticket zone, and because the ticket values shift every play, no two games are the same. A towering, amusement-park-styled cabinet draws players from across the room in a compact footprint.
An illuminated ticket-ring crane (a.k.a. King of Rings) that plays like a claw but pays like redemption. Players grab patented Smart Ticket Ring prizes of varying ticket values that redeem at the counter, then recycle back into the game — fully lit front panels come in your choice of LED color.

Patented in 1908, Skee-Ball is THE original alley game — and Glow is the modern tribute, wrapping the classic in an elaborate LED lighting package and vintage boardwalk styling. It's built to stand out in low-lit FECs and barcades; link a bank of alleys and add the marquee to complete the look.
An arcade spin on the backyard classic and part of ICE's hit Carnival Series. Players race the timer to land bean bags in three moving, lit targets; three in a row on the same color triggers a 5,000-point streak. Bright, family-friendly, and a natural fit for any redemption row.
Reel in the fun: players step up and pull the handle to spin the big wheel, earning tickets when it stops. A true attraction piece with funny fishing bloopers and a captivating sound package — add the Jackpot Sign for even bigger payouts and floor presence.

Stack the bricks to climb toward bigger prizes; adjustable prize settings and an optional skill version make it flexible for any location, and it ships fully stocked with merchandise.
The compact version of Pipeline's #1-charting Cut 2 Win. Same cut-the-string skill play that drops a prize the instant you sever the line — now in a smaller, location-friendly footprint with the bright LED cabinet and metal build that made the original a proven earner.
Bright, family-friendly drop action with the colorful Dippin' Dots brand. Players release bouncing Dippin' Dots balls onto a lively playfield and try to capture 50 dots before time runs out; a perfect-game catch triggers the progressive bonus.
A carnival-style pump-and-race redemption attraction. Players work real water-pump controllers to propel their rubber ducks down the track; link up to four units for eight-player races. A fully illuminated 115-inch cabinet with carnival sound makes it a crowd-drawing centerpiece.

A bright, snow-themed cabinet with an eye-catching marquee.
A skill-based disc-throwing redemption game. Players throw discs into six lit target holes before time runs out, advancing through three levels as the targets move faster and more randomly; a conveyor returns discs for nonstop play, and beating the high score awards a big-ticket bonus. Synchronized cabinet lighting makes it an eye-catching attraction.
A new-age prize-vending game: players time the forklift to push their chosen boxed prize forward and win it. Prizes auto-load from a rotating carousel showcase that displays a wide variety of boxed prizes — strong visual appeal and high repeat play in a single cabinet.
The head-to-head version of SEGA's hit Skill Fall. Two players time their button press to unclip prizes and drop them into the win zone, side by side — the same see-through cabinet, rotating prize pedestal and vibrant LED lighting, now built for competitive social play.

The arcade Mario Kart everyone knows, in a rainbow-LED cabinet with a 42" HD monitor. Race as Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Pac-Man and more across arcade-exclusive courses with 20+ karts and 90+ items; the NAM-CAM "Funny Face Frames" snap your face onto your driver. Link up to four cabinets.

A punch-strength tester with an instant-prize merchandiser built right in.
