Why Choose Lucky Draw Machine Rental in Singapore?
A basic lucky draw can be over within minutes. An event machine gives guests something they can see and join.
It can also help draw people toward a booth or prize area. This makes prize machines useful at roadshows, fairs, and product events.
We list several options in our Arcade & Claw Machines range.
They can be used for:
- Corporate family days
- Dinner and dance events
- Mall events
- Roadshows
- Product launches
- School events
- Community events
The best machine depends on your prize type, venue space, and number of guests.
Which Lucky Draw Machine Should You Choose?
Each machine creates a different type of prize experience.
Giant Gashapon Machine
A LED Giant Gashapon Machine lets guests collect prizes from large capsules.
Capsules can contain small gifts, vouchers, or prize slips. This keeps prizes hidden until the guest opens the capsule.
Our giant machine uses 100 mm capsules. This makes it useful when standard small capsules will not fit the prize.
Bubble Tea Gashapon Machine
For brands targeting youth, foodies, or lifestyle shoppers, the LED Bubble Tea Gashapon Machine replicates an oversized bubble tea cup with colorful capsule “pearls.” It functions on the same reliable token-and-turn mechanism while serving as a distinct photo opportunity.
Claw Machines
For events where skill adds to the challenge, claw machines give participants control over the outcome.
- Showcase Hardware: Choose between our sleek LED Claw Machine or the premium 4-sided transparent LED Glass Claw Machine.
- Calibrated Odds: Technicians can calibrate claw grip pressure to match your target prize giveaway ratios or set the unit to “Play-Till-Win” mode for VIP guests and kids.
Cash Grabbing Machine (Money Tornado Booth)
The Cash Grabbing Machine places the participant inside a transparent vertical cylinder where high-powered blowers swirl paper vouchers, coupons, or promotional cash into the air.
- Gameplay Pacing: Equipped with an adjustable electronic timer, typically calibrated to 15, 20, or 30 seconds per session.
- Safety & Inclusions: We provide protective safety goggles to shield eyes from swirling paper slips, along with branded play money or blank voucher vouchers upon request.
- Venue Requirements: The unit measures $0.94\text{ m (W)} \times 0.94\text{ m (D)} \times 2.15\text{ m (H)}$ and requires one dedicated 13-amp wall power socket. Venues must have a flat floor surface and a minimum ceiling height of $2.4\text{ m}$ to $2.5\text{ m}$ to ensure adequate overhead clearance.
How to Plan Your Event Lucky Draw Logistics
- Calculate Throughput Speed: For roadshows with high target participation (e.g., 500+ participants), choose gashapon machines (5-10 seconds per spin). For staged D&D finales with 5 to 10 finalists, choose the cash grabber (1-2 minutes per finalist including entry and prize counting).
- Prepare Voucher Formats: When running a cash grabbing booth, use lightweight paper (80gsm paper stock works best) so vouchers circulate properly in the air vortex. Heavy cardboard tickets will sink to the floor.
- Branding Customization: Through our custom branding and fabrication service, machines can be fitted with custom vinyl decals, full-body cabinet wraps, branded top headers, and customized metal tokens.
Singapore Regulatory Guidelines for Lucky Draws
Promotional games and lucky draws held in Singapore must adhere to the Gambling Control Act administered by the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA):
- Company D&D and Private Functions (Incidental Lotteries): Lucky draws conducted during corporate dinners, private staff parties, or social gatherings fall under the Incidental Games of Chance Class Licence. No formal licence application is required, provided that entry is free, participation is strictly confined to attendees, and the draw is incidental to the event.
- Retail & Commercial Activations (Trade Promotion Lotteries): In-store or roadshow lucky draws (e.g., “Spend $50 for a chance to win”) operate under the Trade Promotion Class Licence. You do not need to submit a separate application to GRA as long as entry is tied to genuine commercial purchases, no separate fee is charged just to play the game, and promotion terms are transparently declared.
Frequently Asked Questions
What items work best inside the Cash Grabbing Machine?
Lightweight paper vouchers, printed coupons, and play money bills circulate best inside the blower chamber. Winners exchange their caught vouchers for actual prizes at the redemption counter.
Are gashapon machines good for corporate events?
Yes. Capsules can hold vouchers, prize slips, or small branded gifts. They also make each prize reveal easy to manage.
Can the claw machine be set so that everyone wins?
Yes. We can set the machine to “Guaranteed Win” (Play-Till-Win) mode, allowing the participant to replay until a prize is successfully retrieved.
What is the best machine for a product launch?
Gashapon and claw machines work well when you want guests to interact with branded prizes. Cash grabbing machines suit louder, live prize moments.
How many electrical points are required?
Each electronic machine—including claw machines, LED gashapon units, and cash grabbers—operates on a single standard 13-amp domestic power point.
Do lucky draws need a licence in Singapore?
Some lucky draws can operate under a GRA class licence without a separate application. Organisers must still meet all conditions that apply to the draw.
How early should I book a lucky draw machine?
Book once your date, venue, and guest count are known. Allow more lead time when custom artwork or branded parts are needed.
