Why are duck crane machines so popular with people of all ages? Maybe it is the skill and luck involved. Or it could be because many machines are "play until you win".
Regardless of the reason, even adults get really excited about winning one of each of the ducks in the rubber duck claw machines.
There may not be anyone anywhere who gets as excited about playing duck machines as Erik Kane, "The Arcade Warrior"!
His popular "The Arcade Warrior" YouTube channel has over two million subscribers.
He's recorded countless videos where he enthuses over each different rubber duckie he can collect. Erik's collection must be HUGE by now!
Here's him playing a Duck Tank machine that contains the smaller size rubber ducks:
Besides the Duck Tank Machine, you might also come across Lucky Duck Claw Machines, and My Little Ducks Machines.
Duck machines often contain the small 2" rubber ducks. But rubber ducks for claw machines are also sold in 3", 4", 5", and Jumbo 6" sizes.
You may even come across specialty ducks. For example, glitter ducks, light-up ducks, and seasonal or themed ducks.
Is Owning a Claw Machine Profitable?
One reason duck claw or crane machines are popular is that you may see them anywhere. Besides an arcade, they're a great money-maker for many types of businesses:
- Tourist attractions including zoos, marinas, and aquariums
- Restaurants
- Grocery stores and markets
- Lounges, bars, saloons, and nightclubs
- Movie theaters
- Arcades, trampoline parks, skating rinks and other entertainment venues
What you need is a steady stream of people visiting. If you have that, your location could have earning potential. The more customers you have, the higher that could be.
What Do Duck Crane Machines Cost?
Commercial duck claw machines suitable for businesses typically cost thousands of dollars. Exactly how much varies depending on the size and features.
But the good news is that your business may qualify for the Got Arcades Revenue Sharing plan for passive income.
If you're located in Oregon or Washington state and your location is approved, Got Arcades will supply the machine, the products in it, and maintenance.
This truly is one of the rare passive incomes that requires none of your time or money to generate a check to you monthly!
