What Is the Proper Name for a Claw Machine? You Might Be Surprised
The proper name for a claw machine is:
"Claw crane" or "crane game".
These are the most widely accepted and technically correct terms, especially in the amusement and arcade industry. Here's a quick breakdown:
-
Claw Crane – Common in the U.S. and used in industry catalogs.
-
Crane Game – More commonly used in Japan and East Asia (often refers to machines like UFO catchers).
-
Skill Crane – Sometimes used to emphasize that winning depends on skill (though debatable).
-
Prize Redemption Machine – A broader industry term that includes claw machines and similar devices.
So, while "claw machine" is the casual term, "claw crane" or "crane game" is typically considered the proper name.
