Are claw machines and arcade games regulated in Singapore?

Updated by MHA
Yes. To reduce the risk of gambling inducement, restrictions have been imposed on prizes for games offered at amusement centres and fun fairs. The prizes offered must be under $100 in value. Operators are also not allowed to offer cash, cash equivalents, credit, merchant vouchers or coupons as prizes, and the sell-back of prizes to operators is prohibited.
