Crane Games Up the Prizes!

Crane games are everywhere. They are the games that you skillfully pick up the prize and drop them in the winners chute. However Cranes today can do so much more than offer you a dingy stuff animal. No offense to the stuff animals but some of us are not into that anymore. At Craig’s Cruisers our newest family of cranes offer some big prizes that catches the eye of the older market. Items you will find in several of our cranes are ipods, cameras, Playstations, Nintendo DS, DVDs and high value gift certificates! These games take some practice and skill but the prize is definitely worth the effort!

Big Prizes in Here!
