Kiwikrane's should be setting the standard to follow, rather than being worse than our competitors.

One of the things a number of franchisees have tried in the past is mixing a lot of products together in the belief that this will give more appeal, or in some cases just because it was easier to just add a few toys rather than changing a theme. This is one of the practices that we don't follow and is expressly not allowed as a Kiwikrane franchisee.

• Lightest product easily won
• Heaviest product looks bad as the claw just glides off
• You've played all your cards in one machine
• It just plain looks messy
• People won't be repeat players as they will feel ripped off by the machine
