    Sep 26 2025

    Are you struggling to figure out what credit card reader you should use for your vending machines, claw machines, or arcade machines? Well.. look no further!

    On this episode of The Vending & Arcade Show, Gabriel and I (Nathan) talk about the 3 BEST credit card reader companies, and which one would work best for your situation! Gabriel and I are very well versed with Kiosoft, but we aren't the most knowledgeable when it comes to Nayax or Cantaloupe. For that reason, we brought on 2 guests that are experts!

    In this episode we brought on Matt from the YouTube channel "GalaxyGames843", and Mike from the YouTube channel "720 Vending".

    Matt runs tons of Nayax credit card readers, and has a very large route. He shares all of his endeavors to his 60,000+ subscribers on his channel.

    Mike runs a ton of Cantaloupe credit card readers, and not only does he use them.. he's been a key factor with cantaloupe's progress with getting into the amusement side of things for credit card hardware.

I've know Tyler for years, and one thing I can tell you, is Tyler loves his deals. And when I say "deal" I really mean "DEAL"!!! Tyler has found so many great deals on claw machines, I couldn't count them on both hands. He has gotten some machines as low as $50, and had them working and making money by the next day!
