zclaw arcade Frequently asked questions

Can I spend just $1 or $5?

Yes, with cash. If you have cash, you can spend just $1 or $5, no problem. However, we do have a $10 minimum if paying with card or tap.

Do you have pinball machines or video game consoles?

Unfortunately, we don’t. We only have claw machines/crane machines that you win stuffed animals (plushies) out of. However, you don’t always have to leave with only plushies. We have a large upgrade wall where you can trade in plushies you don’t want for other items. We have items from various toys, to crystal water bottles, to an original 1997 Han Solo, to an original 1987 Pee Wee Herman Doll; something for all ages. This idea is a Japanese style arcade that is becoming a trend in the U.S. It mixes the idea of getting tickets to trade in for prizes with winning plushies from a claw machine.

Is it easy to win on the claw machines?

The idea of our arcade is to have FUN. We want you to win, because winning is fun! Our machines have a trick called double-clamp. You can press the button a second time to close the claw when you want. This gives you a better advantage to grab a plushy from the machine. We are also very customer service oriented. We are happy to give you some tips like where to aim to grab a plushy, how to do the double-clamp, and we’re happy to fluff up plushies so they’re easier to get at.

Are we a franchise?

No. We are not a franchise. We are a local, family run business.
