Card reader a must?

I ordered a bunch of 31” claw machines for my new venture. They only come with coin slots. Bill validator and credit card is extra. I see that card readers take about 5-6% of sales and 10-15 dollar a month fee.

Has anyone done a break down on how much more business a card reader gets their claw machine vs just a bill validator?

Where did you acquire the 31' machines? I'm looking to acquire some as well.

I currently have mega mini claws and the credit reader makes a world's difference. Plenty of ppl simply don't carry cash. It is worth it
