## How to Pick a Claw Machine That Will Earn Out in 18 Months

Buying a claw machine for your FEC? Here are the 7 factors we tell every operator we ship to: cabinet geometry, joysticks, payout rate, lighting, ticket mechanism, board reliability and warranty response time.

## Background

ArcadeMotion has been exporting large-format arcade machines since 2011. In this article, our export team breaks down what we have learned shipping to 80+ countries.

## Key Takeaways

1. Pick the right machine class for your audience.
2. Mind your MOQ vs lead time trade-off.
3. Certify early — CE / UL / RoHS for the destination market.
4. Build a 24-month spare-parts plan, not a 12-month one.
5. Train your staff on the controller board before opening day.
