How To Start An Arcade Business
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Hey there guys! Today we have a new video for you with details on how to start your own arcade business! This includes tips on how we land locations the easiest, what you can expect to pay for new/used claw machines and coin pushers, meeting state regulations and acquiring business insurance, etc. As well as another collection from claw machines, coin pushers and arcade games!
When buying used machines, be sure to test everything fully if you can in person. If not, you can use eBay to make your purchase which offers Buyer Protection incase you purchase something that does not actually work!
As for small business insurance, we recommend the two following companies that we have worked with:
www.thehartfor... (The first insurance company we used, payed $33/mo for coverage)
www.amfam.com/... (Current insurance company, paying $85/mo for coverage as we have many more machines now)
And don't forget to make a website for your business! If you are serious about starting an arcade business (or vending) you definitely should have a website driving you FREE and TARGETED traffic from Google! We can get in to more detail on creating a website in future video(s) if you like!
Also guys, THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY MUCH for helping us reach an amazing milestone of 2k subscribers!! Every one of you is very much appreciated and we sincerely cannot thank you enough for your continued support. Be sure to stay tuned early next week for details on our 2000 subscriber giveaway! We'll be giving away a free candy machine to one lucky subscriber, as well as a nice amount of cash to split among more subscribers!
Thank you all for watching and we really hope you learned a thing or two from this video. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns in the comments below, we love answering all your questions! Our goal is to help you start your own businesses and we can't wait to help you do so!

First
Close bro!!! :)
@@quikplay was I not first? It didn't show any other comments
@@nwamtb Oh SNAP
@@quikplay I went on the video and pressed newest first and mine was at the bottom lol
@@nwamtb Oh SNAP you're right bro! LOL
WOOOHOO! Awesome video guys!
Thank you so much as always Carson!! You're awesome bro!!
What state are you guys located in?
Missouri bro!!
So did you get a loan to buy all these machines when you started or how’d you do it?..
No bro we actually had a lot of money saved from web design and what not as we've been designers and programming since 2009. So we used funds we already had to start this business!
Forget credit just save up and buy buy buy
How are you getting on. I'm looking to do the same thing. I don't really have much saved up so I was looking to take out a loan.
My dream isn't to open just any arcade, I want to open up a Mortal Kombat arcade. The machines will be set on free play and I'll charge a certain amount per hour of play. Idk the price yet for play but I want to make just enough so I can sell beverages for a whole dollar. Also need to find a good place to open said arcade because where I live might not be the best.
I do have a mall in my town and I could probably implement these tips to start earning money. Thank you so much for this.
Ayyyyyyyyyyy FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS!!!! I'm sick so this makes me feel better! Thanks for the awesome content keep it up
Hope you feel better QUICK bro!! Hope this video is entertaining for ya!!
@Donut Productions hi
@@quikplay thanks and yes this was very entertaining especially the coin pusher pull!!!

Thank you so much Jennifer!! We really do try and we're so glad you recognize it!! Much appreciated :)
You guys are an inspiration for me 👍👍
Thank you so much man!! That's exactly what we are aiming for!! So glad we could inspire you some more!!
Great video. Trying to move some machines. How do you get so many locations?
Thank you Tristan!! We get A LOT of locations through locations we already have new candy machines in! People love to add to their businesses!
Quik Play the businesses don’t charge you rent?
Saw you on jaime Ibanez stream!
Yess right on bro!! Jaime is the man!!
Whatttt $90 bulk machine pull! Those nerd gum balls are no joke! Great collections guys!
Yess bro it was crazy!! Thank you so much man!!
Your edits are the cleanest 🧼 🧽
Thank you Jonathan!!!
How many percent do you give the owner of the Location?
Average for coin pushers & claw machines is 25-30%! Bulk vending machines are usually 0% but sometimes 10-20%!
@@quikplay tnx for the answer I am going to start in bulk vending and try to grow to coin pushers and claw machines
Another awesome video guys !!!
Everytime I see your Claw and coin pushers I want a few dozen lol
As for the how to start a LLC I just recently was aware of how much easier it is to obtain Business Credit by getting several lines of credit from Venders then unsecured business credit cards and loans other from the traditional bank or SBA.
You might be interested in that as well
Thank you so much man!! & you're very right obtaining business credit through other vendors can be a great avenue to pursue, much better than a bank or credit card!
@@quikplay get some time check out some of the... Credit Suite RUclips videos

Also do you pay a royalty to the locations or do you pay a flat fee
Thank you guys for the great tips! Is there a sweet spot price wise for pre-owned claw machines in good condition?
You're very welcome Morgan! Thank you for watching!! & for a used claw machine I'd pay $500-800 for a nice used one!

Love the videos guys! I was just wondering, how much commission do you offer your sites to host your machines?
I really what a coin pusher
Awesome video. Do you mind sharing where you get your stickers from or do you make themselves for the bulk candy machines? Thanks!
Thank you so much man!! & we get our labels from vendinglabels.com (Sweet Stop Vending)!!
Where is the best place to purchase plush starting out? When you don’t have much money but need plush to start your business?
Hey there! Aaglobal .com sells plush for very cheap!!
Hi guys and a big hello from Ireland.
Im a first time subscriber
My dad set up his arcade business back in 1964 with one arm bandits then jukeboxs ,fruit machines,pooltables etc.
I started working for him in 1980 during my holidays from school,and now I build arcade machines from scratch and I buy fixer upper fruit machines,pokers for little money and restore them and put them on location.
I love my job and spend lots of hours working on machines.
I also help people with fixing their arcade machines and I get to form many new friendships.
Thanks guys for your videos and I wish your business continued success.
That is so awesome Anto!! Very cool, thank you for watching man!!
92 on those candy dispensers wow. Thats awesome. Question, you work out deals and percents with the business?
Yes sir! We usually end up paying 25-30% of all net proceeds!
Hey quik play love your channel
Thank you so much Connor!!
Great vid as always brother
Thank you so much Stroh bro!! You're awesome man!!
I SEE U MY BOI WATCHING THAT LIVE COUNT ON T SERIOS VS PWEDS
Yess bro PEWDSS
Quik Play At one point it was 8k😬
😀😀😀Yay another video
Just re watching all of your vids rn lol there are a lot now
Thank you Eli!!!
Hey my comment made it on the intro, nice. I have a chance to get a coin pusher for 200.00, should I do it even though I have no location? I'm leaning to yes!!
Yes sir thank you for the great comment! & heck to the yes you should, if anything you could resell it for more!! Just make sure it's fully working but if it is that's a great price!!
Wow you guys never cease to amaze me, love these vids. Keep them up please ❤️
Thank you so much bro!! We definitely will!! :)
do u pay a commission to the owners of the store?
Yes!
Does it matter that it looks like your coin scale looks like its set on "US .50" not US .25?, Whats the make/model of your scale, I've been considering buying one.
Hey Ed! It is definitely set on US .25, when we go to the bank to deposit quarters they always count the same amount as us! :)
@@quikplay I have no idea, I seen the scale screen at 10:28 and thought it was a setting. Picking up my 1st pusher this week, an older one that needs a front door fabricated, for $50.00. Already have it placed. Thanks for the Inspiration.
The boys with another great video!! 😎
Yess Retro!! Thank you so much for watching bro!! :)
How much is shipping on average from eBay?
Great question! That depends on how far you live from the seller, for instance we live very close to the seller who sells coin pushers so it's only $100 to ship! It can be anywhere from $100-$500 if you're many states away.
Would have been helpful if you would have gone over the numbers, startup costs, cog, maintenance, choosing locations, profit margins, ect.
Everybody does claw machines, I hate them so much. I miss the arcade machines, Street fighters, Mortal Kombat TMNT. I'm always disappointed when I see a claw machine. 😔
Let them know who's boss. Much support and luv.
Thank you so much man!!
I'm hooked on these videos, you guys. I enjoy the video as you're talkin to us and tellin us wha you think how you think and if i ever meet y'all in person I would love a selfie with y'all and I'd post it on Facebook tellin people ta watch and learn wha all they can. On to the next video.
sweet im learning more keep it up
Yess Semo learn before you come and clean our machines lolol!
At 5:37, I see you're "laundering" money. Haha! The laundry basket; get it? Man, I am funny.
Congrats on getting 2000subs my dude and awsome video
Manuel thank you so much bro!!
First!
Are you going view at the Vegas Convention, you won't have a stall, right.
NICE bro!!! & yes we are March 26-28! Are you? We don't have a stall no.
@@quikplay No, just visiting like you, planning, connecting and learning vending.
@@WanderingVeteran Yes for sure bro, we'd love to visit with you!!
What are your thoughts on purchasing a claw machine on AliExpress or Alibaba
Your videos are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.
Thank you so much bro!! We love to share everything with you guys!! :)
I’m still watching the video, but do y’all give them a % every month? Is there a standard amount in the industry?
Do u need allowence from the machine makers? Or you can just buy a machine without paying the makers or something
Did you buy the crane games new or used? From where?
Edit*
Nvm I saw in the video. Do you get the location first then order? Or do u order first then get location?
You guys killed it on the coin pushers. Great video!
Thank you so much Sandy!!
Watching this video at 555k subs. Can't believe the progress in 5 years
not profitable at all you are not sure you are going to make 200 dollars every month it varies and also you have to add the cost of the goodies you will put in the machine
Another awesome video! You guys are killing it!!!
Thank you so much as always bro!! :)
On average How much do you spend in maintenance? Ive been considering this as a side business.
Ayyyy thanks for the feature lol
Yess bro no problem!! Thanks for the great comment!! :)
Where you buy the Claw Machines?
Can you send me the company or the seller?, thanks
Do you get mad at advantage players? Or are you willing to accommodate them so you honor your word of winning?
Great video
Thank you so much bro!!
@@quikplay been with y'all since 100
That means so much bro you're a real one!! Thank you for real!!
Idea: a Minecraft arcade machine. One life is a coin. There is also a password system to stop greifers
Still killing it!!!
Thank you so much Destiny!!
Do you need a license, and how much percentage do the restaurants ask for?
Great video! I watch them as soon as I see them!
Thank you so much Logan!! So happy to hear that, we really do appreciate it!!
How do you legally obtain and operate a coin pusher? Does it not count as an illegal gambling device?
At what age I can start a arcade machine business?
As soon as you can afford machines!
@@quikplay how much one machine costs like?
I love you guys
We love you @FancyHamster you're always so supportive!! Thank you!!
Dope ass video bro thank you

Thanks so much!!
They won't be able to get the coins but can take the bills
Lmao Chumlee 11:57
there is no way we can have this in Sweden due to laws and all tax. I guess you barely need to pay 35% for running as business
Sorry to hear that! 🙁
Dang you got some amazing locations.
Thank you Kyle!!
@@quikplay 👍
Very nice!
Thank you so much!!
Would this work with the light gun games like house of dead?
How much do you pay the business owners to house your machines
Thanks for supporting Carson.
Bro yess we love Carson!!
