Love Maine Lobster Claw Game Bizop
One of the greatest things about running this website is that it allows me to constantly be on the lookout for great new business opportunities. I discovered one recently in the Love Maine Lobster Claw Game business opportunity from Marine Ecological Habitats, Inc.
The Love Maine Lobster Claw Game is like nothing you’ve ever seen, but you are undoubtedly familiar with the concept: A claw game is an arcade game in the form of a vending machine. It consists of prizes inside a clear cage with a claw at the ceiling of the cage. The player deposits money into the machine, and then tries to manipulate a joystick that controls the claw for a short period of time. The player is able to move the claw back and forth and sideways, but not up or down. At the end of the time, the claw drops down and attempts to grab the prize below it. The claw then automatically moves over an opening in the corner of the cage and releases whatever it holds. If the player has been successful, the prize the claw is holding is dropped into the opening and dispensed to a hatched box for pickup by the player. In the Love Maine Lobster Claw Game the cage is a professional-grade aquarium, and the prizes are live lobsters!
Players deposit $2 for 30 seconds of lobster wrangling. If they win, they can take the lobster home. If not, well, that’s money in your pocket. The game is perfect for bars, restaurants and convenience stores.
This all cash business is not a franchise, and there are no commissions or ongoing fees. Marine Ecological Habitats, Inc. is offering a turnkey business opportunity:
- You will receive 10 Love Maine Lobster Claw Games.
- Their professionals will research, locate and secure retail venues that will give your games the greatest opportunities for success .
- They will pay the first two weeks of location fees for the games.
- They will deliver and set up the games at the locations and stock them with quality, live Maine Lobsters, so the games will be ready to play and take in cash.
- They will supply your games with live Maine lobsters for the first two weeks (240 lobsters).
- You will receive Love Maine Lobster flags for display and “Claw of Fame” plaques to post pictures of game winners.

Argh. I know those games… and as a game producer I must wonder why indie developers are so worried to price their game $20 or $30… if people have $2 to spend for hunting a lobster for 30 secs… I bet they have money to pay $20 or $30 for a fun computer game.
I bet those restaurants would do really well if they order that lobster machine!

I’m no vegetarian, nor an environmentalist either. In fact, if it’s crazy, digusting or just plain tasteless I tend to like it, but.. I can’t help but find this idea vile. It seems on a par with putting dogs or cats in a vending machine. I’m actually shocked this passes animal cruelty laws, because I’m sure lobsters really don’t enjoy being constantly ogled by metal tongs, much like your dog wouldn’t like being jabbed or poked day in, day out.

Lobster link fest…
Why lobster blogging? Because it’s been too long a day for me to consider writing something serious, but I don’t want this site to stay idle too long. And lobsters seem to be turning up everywhere lately. Read on, you might learn something…

This is too strange. I was doing a google search on a Tracey Billings and up came the name Tracey Howard which is my maiden name. So I clicked on the link and it took me to a site with the link to this article on the Lobster game and metion of New England Clam Bakes. I just posted my first Blog entry last weekend all about our New England – Style Clam Bake we do each year in California (my husband was a lobster fisherman in Rhode Island for many years). I just thought the connection with the name and topic was too coincidental not to comment here!
Check out my article called “Lobsters, Clams and Teamwork at http://www.thepowerline.typepad.com Be sure to watch the Clam Bake movie!
Cheers!
