Carnival Cruise Line’s Cash Games Ban: What It Means for Modern Attractions

No, modern MARWEY photo booth machines are specifically engineered for self-service and typically do not require a dedicated attendant for operation.

Our commitment at MARWEY is to provide seamless, intuitive experiences, making our machines highly profitable for operators through unattended use.

• Self-Service Focus: Booths like our AI Photo Booth Machine, NEWSPAPER Photo Booth Machine, and Mirror Photo Booth feature user-friendly touchscreens with clear, step-by-step instructions. Guests can start sessions, select features, and receive prints or digital copies on their own, making them ideal for long-term placements in malls, theaters, or entertainment venues.

• Minimal Supervision: Once set up, the machine essentially runs itself. This eliminates the cost and hassle of hiring staff, dramatically increasing your profit margin and operational flexibility.

• The Exception (360 Booth): Our 360 Photo Booth Machine is the primary exception. Because it involves guests standing on a rotating platform, we generally recommend an attendant to manage crowd flow, ensure safety, and manually start and stop the rotating arm to optimize the video capture.

• For most of your rental and permanent installation needs, a MARWEY machine is a true "set it and forget it" business solution.

Success hinges on a balanced mix. Allocate roughly 60-70% of your arcade budget to redemption games (which encourage continued play for prizes) and the remainder to high-earning video simulators and novelty machines. Regularly rotating out underperforming games, which is easier with high-quality, standardized cabinets, is also essential for maintaining novelty.

Typically, no. The vast majority of commercial-grade mini claw machines are designed to be plugged into a standard wall outlet (AC power). They are not intended to be battery-operated due to the relatively high power demands of the lights, joystick controls, and claw mechanism. Some very small, toy-grade versions for home use might use batteries, but for arcade or business use, you should plan on having access to a reliable power source.
