7 Best Arcade Machine Rental Companies in Singapore (August 2026)
My pick of the best arcade machine rental companies in Singapore for 2026, from racing simulators and claw machines to basketball, rhythm and retro cabinets.
This guide is part of Terris Recommends, my researched, hands-on picks of the best local businesses and services in Singapore. Every recommendation is researched and ranked by me.
See all recommendationsArcade machines are the anchor attraction at a lot of Singapore events, the racing simulator two people queue to beat, the claw machine everyone wants one more go at, the basketball cabinet that gets a whole office competitive. If you want the best arcade machine rental Singapore event planners actually use in 2026, this is my shortlist.
Arcade rental splits into five types, and the best vendor for you depends on which you want: racing simulators, claw and prize machines, sports machines like basketball and boxing, rhythm and music machines, and classic redemption or retro cabinets. I weighed each company on fleet size and condition, the mix of machine types, pricing and delivery, and whether they include an operator. The seven below are the teams I would trust to bring the arcade.
This is one of my Terris Recommends event rental guides. For the wider picture see my best event rental companies in Singapore pillar, and for classic carnival stalls rather than machines see my carnival game booth rental guide.
Start with the machine mix. A good rental fleet covers the five families, racing simulators (Daytona, Initial D, F1 rigs), claw and prize machines, sports machines (basketball hoops, boxing, air hockey), rhythm and music machines, and classic redemption or retro cabinets, so you can match the machines to your crowd. Teens and adults love racing and rhythm; kids and families gravitate to claw machines and basketball.
Two practical checks decide whether it actually works on the day. First, power and space: racing simulators and large cabinets need real floor area and a dedicated power point, so confirm your venue can take them. Second, condition and support: rented machines take a beating, so you want a well-maintained fleet and an operator or on-call technician included, especially for claw machines that jam or need prizes restocked.
On cost, machines are usually priced per unit per day, commonly around S$150 to S$400 depending on the machine, with discounts when you rent several. Claw and prize machines may also need prizes topped up. Ask whether delivery, setup and an operator are in the price.
| Company | Machine focus | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Arcade Rental Singapore | The widest dedicated arcade fleet | Machine variety and condition |
| Funfair.sg | Arcade bundled with a full carnival | Large events needing games too |
| FunCo | 100+ machines, racing to retro | Variety across machine types |

| JNR Entertainment | Arcade alongside carnival stalls | Mixing machines with booths |
| Big Top Events | Claw and prize machines | Claw-machine-led setups |

They cater specifically to corporate events, parties and roadshows, offer discounts for renting multiple machines, and are known for genuinely helpful setup and on-site service. If the arcade is the star of your event, this is where I would start. (For the record, I built their website, which is how I know how seriously they take the machines.)

With clients like Resorts World Sentosa, Unilever and NUS, they are trusted for big events, and pulling arcade plus booths plus food from one vendor keeps the logistics simple. A strong choice when the arcade is one part of a larger setup.

Because they also carry 200-plus carnival booths, inflatables and food stations, they are easy to build a mixed event around. A great pick when you want a good spread of machine types alongside other attractions.

As an SME 500 winner and BizSafe Star certified government supplier, they are a safe choice for corporate functions, weddings and roadshows where reliability matters. A good pick when the arcade sits inside a bigger event.

The trade-off is that they are generalists rather than an arcade specialist, so the fleet is smaller than a dedicated provider, but for a value-led setup that is a fair compromise.

Most arcade machines are priced per unit per day, commonly around S$150 to S$400 depending on the machine, with racing simulators and premium cabinets at the higher end and simpler machines lower. Renting several machines usually unlocks a discount. Claw and prize machines may cost a little more or need prizes topped up, and delivery, setup and an operator can be included or added on, so ask for a clear breakdown.
Racing simulators are the biggest draw at corporate events and roadshows because two people can go head to head. Claw and prize machines are the family favourite, basketball and boxing cabinets get crowds competitive, and rhythm machines suit a younger crowd. A good mix pairs one or two showpiece machines like a racing rig with a few quick-play cabinets.
Some do. Racing simulators and large cabinets need real floor area and a dedicated 13-amp power point, and a cluster of machines can add up on power, so tell the vendor your venue and available sockets up front. A good rental company will advise on layout and power, and outdoor setups may need a generator, which some providers can supply.
It varies. Machines are generally delivered set up and tested, but a full-time operator or on-call technician is often an add-on. For claw machines that jam or need restocking, and for a long event, having someone on hand is worth it. Confirm whether support is included, and whether the vendor will return to fix or swap a machine that fails mid-event.
Two to three weeks is usually enough, but popular machines like racing simulators are limited in number and get booked out for peak dates, year-end, school holidays and major festivals, so reserve earlier if a specific machine is central to your event. Booking ahead also gives the vendor time to service the machines before delivery.
The arcade and event rental companies that win the most bookings do it on a website that shows the machines off and makes enquiring easy. That is the part I work on, and it is exactly what I did for Arcade Rental Singapore, whose redesign drove 300 percent traffic growth and number-one rankings. You can see it in my Arcade Rental case study.

The bottom line
For the best arcade machine rental in Singapore, Arcade Rental Singapore is my top pick as the dedicated specialist with the widest, best-kept fleet. Funfair.sg and FunCo are the all-rounders that bundle arcade with a full carnival, Mega Events wraps it in production, JNR mixes machines with stalls, Big Top owns the claw-machine niche, and Carnival People is the value choice. Match the machine types to your crowd, confirm power and space, and check whether an operator is included.
For the rest of your setup, see my event rental pillar and carnival rental guides. And if you run a rental business, a website that shows your machines off does a lot of the quiet selling, which is what I do at Terris. Take a look at my web design services or get a free quote.
Editorial note: This guide reflects my own research and opinion. Company details and indicative prices were accurate at the time of writing (July 2026) but can change, so confirm the fleet, scope and pricing directly with each company before you engage them. I designed and built the Arcade Rental Singapore website, which I have disclosed above; my recommendation reflects their genuine standing as the category specialist.
