Rooted in vending. Invested in your future.

Serious about the business of fun.

We're CandyMachines.com. Since 1998, we've helped people turn a little space and a good idea into a vending business. 

Today, as part of Family Fun & Games, we bring together bulk vending and amusement equipment, operator support, and technology that moves our industry forward. 

OUR STORY

Small Beginnings. Lasting Relationships.

A gumball machine can be someone's first business. A claw machine can become the start of a route. We've grown alongside the people who see those possibilities, and that's what still drives us.

Our online story begins.

Why CandyMachines.com

Industry Roots. Forward thinking.

Leadership means solving everyday problems operators faces. We put that belief to work in payments, machine intelligence, and tools to make a route easier to run.

2020: See what happens inside the machine.

Our prize-reporting harness connects game and prize sensors with Nayax cashless readers, giving operators mobile access to machine performance. 

2025: More ways to pay. More choice for operators.

Cantaloupe compatibility expanded our reporting system. ArcadePay support brought QR-code payments into the mix.

2026: Connected machines. Control from anywhere.

SmartClaw v2 combines Nayax revenue data with cloud controls, so operators can monitor and adjust compatible machines remotely. 

2026: Investing in the next generation of fun.
