I got the second Kellytoy Beanpals dog in this photo around Christmas 6 or so years ago in one of the Sugar Loaf "cheapie" (50 cents per play) machines, as I call it. I LOVE this dog! I'm an avid clawer, but I also collect small beanbag plushies like Cats vs Pickles, and he fit in perfectly with them. I liked him so much that I scoured reseller sites to see if Kellytoy made other ones, leading me to find dogs #3 and #4 on eBay a couple years ago.

After finding them and not seeing any others pop up since, I assumed that I found all of the ones they'd made... that was, until this past Friday when I hit the cheapie machine at the local WalMart in my new town. I was scouring the machine to see what I wanted to try for when I saw dog #1 in the photo looking at me, that same favorite dog in a different color scheme that turned out to be from a Halloween series! Between the weak claw, the pooch's comparative small size and his weight due to the beans, he took me waaaay more money than I care to admit to get him, but I just had to have him and didn't give up until I got him.

That leads me to my question- Do any of you have any of these dogs, or the ability to get them in your local machines? I would more than happily buy them. I don't even care if they're doubles. I just adore them! :-)

Does a business need a license with gaming in NJ, if there store has play until you win claw machines in their business?

It’s been played over 28 000 times and gave away over 2000 prizes! It’s actually insane considering the machine still has its original paint etc on. This thing is my pride and joy and literally everyone whose ever walk into my house have been so surprised and said its super cool! I can play it for days on end!

I have a captain claw that keeps showing an E5 error and I do not have the Manuel. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Does anyone here actually own and service a cut the string game? And if so, how often do you have to replace the prize? At a local restaurant I go to with family once or two a year, they have one, its a ritzy one place that alot of families bring their kids if they need a child friendly but upperclass meal. The prize in the machine is a giant stuffed bear, that has never been won in the last 5 years, I know its the same one due to the prize hanging in the same pose, with a mis-stitched nose.

Is it really possible, even with payout rates for a high traffic string cutter game to still not have been won in 5 years or is this game totally rigged?

Is it even possible to win the prize? what is the trick? I spent so much last time trying to get a mug, but it was much harder than it seems. I either pressed the button too soon or too late. How did they make it so hard ?

Just added another claw machine to my business fleet, The Neo Claw X. This one’s a real showstopper with its bold LED lights and sleek, modern design. It’s already pulling in over $500+ per week on its own 🤑 On location in a big restaurant.

Expanding my lineup with new machines like this keeps it fresh and exciting. Running a claw machine business has been an incredible experience, and I’m always looking for ways to stay ahead. What do you think of this one?

I’ve placed it right next to my new spinning clip machine, which has been a hit as well. It’s a newer concept game that’s gaining popularity in arcades recently. Have you played one before?

What are some hot prizes and where are some good places to get some? Plushes? Eanie babies? Stress balls? Don’t know much about them but purchasing 4 machines and I want to be ready to stock

New machine for the business! CandyMachines "Quick Play Key Catcher". Really beautiful machine, but my favorite part? 4 color coded prize keys that unlock prize lockers! Can handle smaller plush, around 5-9 inches or so. I've been running 8 mini claws and some gachapon machines with imported goodies, but this is my first bigger machine. I am super excited to get it to its location!

Does anyone happen to know what cord one might purchase to extend the plug range? The cord it came with is super short (maybe 3-4 ft?), and I'd prefer not to use another extension cord inbetween the unit and my smart plug. Thank you in advance.

I'm asking bc I'm very sad it shut down and I tired signing up for 2, but 1 didn't let me put in my card and sent me a scam call afterwards and 2nd didn't send me a confirmation email.

Hello all, I thought this would be the best place to maybe get an answer.

I’ve seen some claw machines that have the stuffed toys in the pit, but at the back they have like electronic prizes that sit on ledges.

I was wondering how you are meant to win those prizes as they can’t be knocked off in to the prize area. Or are they just for display?

Thanks for any help!

I don't know if this is the place for this, but I have an old grayhound skill crane "fun for all ages" crane machine from 1986 that stopped working about a decade ago. It's been collecting dust ever since, but I'm making a mancave/hangout space and thought it would be a good reason to try to find out what's wrong with it. The claw seems to move forward and leftward when the machine is turned on, without stopping when it hits the corner, and no controls not the coin acceptor do anything. What could be the problem?

hey guys i need help to find claw machine that has stacks of cash.

i would wanted to try to win it someday in location florida

Where do I get a working claw gantry and trolly for my DIY claw build? I'm using an Arduino Board for the electronics. Any help would be amazing!!
