The claw crane was invented in 1893 but was not released as a game until 1926. The modern version of the game that allows players to move the claw where they want was invented in the 1930s by William Bartlett.

It appears the claw machines became popular in the United States in the late 1980s and many were to be found in Pizza Hut restaurants. However the first one appeared in a 1939 cartoon. There does not appear to be any mention of who was the inventor of the first one.
