Abstract: A claw arcade game includes a housing; a claw assembly that is movable along a horizontal and vertical plane within the housing. In one embodiment, the claw assembly includes a plurality of flanges capable of being moved from an open position to a closed position. The claw arcade game may also include a claw control unit configured to control the movement of the claw assembly within the housing, wherein the claw control unit produces at least one unique signal that correlates to an event related to the movement of the claw assembly during a single game sequence. The claw arcade game may also include a camera assembly including a camera mounted within an upper portion of the housing; and a photo booth control unit configured to monitor at least a portion of the signals produced by the claw control unit, to sense the at least one unique signal, and to instruct the camera to take a photo in response to the sensing of the at least one unique signal.
