What to Expect When an Amusement Machine Is Placed in Your Business

When you partner with A&M Amusements, our goal is to make the experience seamless, profitable, and worry-free. Still, if you’ve never hosted an amusement machine before, it’s natural to have questions about what day-to-day operation looks like. Here’s what you can expect once a machine is placed in your location.

First, installation is fast and minimally disruptive. Machines are delivered and positioned during agreed-upon times to avoid peak business hours whenever possible. Once in place, they operate independently and do not require staff involvement. Your team does not need to explain the machine, handle money, or perform any technical tasks.

Second, normal customer interaction is exactly that—normal. Guests may gather briefly while playing, especially around claw machines or prize units, but machines are selected and placed specifically to avoid congestion. If adjustments are ever needed, we handle them. The goal is added engagement, not interference with your core business.

Third, occasional questions or minor issues are expected—and covered. A jammed prize, a curious customer, or a simple question about how the machine works can happen from time to time. In these cases, staff can simply direct customers to the contact information on the machine or let us know directly. Our team handles servicing, maintenance, and customer support so you don’t have to.

Finally, revenue and performance are monitored behind the scenes. We regularly check machine operation, restock prizes, and ensure everything remains clean and functional. If something isn’t performing as expected, we make adjustments proactively. You benefit from the results without needing to manage the process.

Hosting an amusement machine should feel effortless. If it ever doesn’t, that’s our responsibility—not yours. Our partnerships are built around reliability, transparency, and long-term success for both sides.

What to Do If There’s an Issue With an Amusement Machine Onsite

While our machines are designed to operate reliably with minimal attention, occasional issues can happen—just like with any equipment placed in a public space. The good news is that store staff are never expected to troubleshoot or resolve problems themselves. Here’s exactly what to do if a situation comes up.

If a Customer Loses Money or Doesn’t Receive a Prize

If a customer reports losing money or not receiving a prize, the best response is simple reassurance. Let them know the machine is managed by A&M Amusements and that support information is clearly posted on the machine. Customers can contact us directly for assistance, and we’ll make it right. We can refund money back to a customer remotely, most times, within minutes.

There’s no need for staff to open the machine, issue refunds, or log details—our team handles customer claims promptly and professionally.

If the Machine Stops Working or Appears Jammed

If a machine becomes unresponsive, jams, or stops operating, staff should not attempt to reset or open it. Simply notify us using the contact information provided on the machine or your location contact method. If appropriate you can place our “out of Order” sign on the machine until our technician arrives.

In most cases, issues are resolved quickly during our next service visit or sooner if needed. Downtime is minimized, and no action is required from your team.

If the Machine Loses Power

Occasionally, machines may lose power due to outlet issues, tripped breakers, or power interruptions in the building. If it’s safe and easy to do so, you may check whether the outlet is still receiving power or if a breaker has tripped.

If power cannot be restored easily, just let us know. We’ll take it from there. Staff should never move the machine or attempt electrical repairs.

If the Machine Is Damaged or Vandalized

In the rare event of damage or vandalism, please contact us as soon as possible. If the situation involves intentional damage or creates a safety concern, follow your normal internal procedures first, then notify us.

If possible, please take a picture of the damage for us.

We handle repairs, replacements, and next steps directly. Your role is simply to alert us and keep the area safe if needed.

Your Role: Simple and Stress-Free

Our partnerships are designed to be hands-off for your business. You’re never responsible for repairs, refunds, or technical decisions. When something doesn’t look right, the only thing you need to do is let us know.

If you ever have questions or aren’t sure how to handle a situation, reach out—we’re here to support you and keep everything running smoothly.
