What is the difference between a claw machine and a souvenir vending machine?

A claw machine is a skill-based prize game: the player controls a crane to pick up a plush toy or small prize, so operators manage prize mix, claw strength and play price. A souvenir vending machine dispenses a selected item automatically after payment, which suits malls, museums, attractions and events where a consistent branded product or photo souvenir is the goal.

Both can be built with branded cabinet artwork and configured with different payment modules. The right choice depends on your venue, footfall and how you want visitors to interact with the machine. Send us your venue type and we will suggest suitable models with a written quotation.
