GiGO bet big on crane games in Japan
Original: クレーン
Japanese entertainment operator GiGO is drawing attention for its crane game business, with a promotional feature arguing that even though prizes can simply be bought, people still crave the thrill of winning them. The company says the appeal lies in the 'acquisition experience' — the excitement and sense of achievement that comes from grabbing a prize with skill and luck, rather than paying for it outright.
Why now: Discussion of why crane games stay popular despite prizes being cheaper to buy has resonated with Japanese audiences.
