How to Increase Claw Machine Revenue During Christmas

Christmas is one of the most profitable seasons for claw machines. Based on our experience working with global operators and distributors, simple holiday adjustments can significantly increase play rate and overall ROI.

1. Use Christmas-Themed Visuals

Small changes make a big difference:

• Christmas stickers or light decorations

• Red, green, or warm white LED effects

• Clear “Christmas Special” signage

Festive visuals attract attention and encourage impulse play.

2. Offer Limited-Time Christmas Prizes

Seasonal prizes create urgency and emotional appeal:

• Christmas plush toys

• Holiday gift boxes or mystery prizes

• Candy packs or small giveaways

Limited-time prizes drive repeat plays.

3. Adjust Payout Settings for the Holiday Rush

During peak season, a slightly higher win rate can increase total revenue:

• Easier settings during peak hours

• Guaranteed wins after fixed plays

• Softer settings for family locations

Winning experiences lead to more plays and better crowd attraction.

4. Simple Christmas Promotions

Easy-to-run promotions work best:

• Buy 5 plays, get 1 free

• Weekend or evening bonus plays

• Family bundle offers

These increase average spend without complex operations.
