What the wind prize-grabbing machine is
Wind prize-grabbing machine hire brings one of the most eye-catching, hands-on promotional attractions there is. Also known as a wind booth, money machine or cash cube, it's a transparent structure in which hundreds of slips, vouchers or prizes fly around at speed.
The aim is to grab as many as possible within a set time. Its striking visual effect constantly draws a crowd, which makes it perfect for brand activations, trade fairs, shopping centres and corporate events.
How the wind machine works
It's fast and very simple:
- Position: the player stands beside the machine and puts an arm through the opening (or steps inside, in the booth version).
- Start: the internal fan kicks in and creates a whirlwind that sends the slips or vouchers with the printed prizes flying.
- Grab: within the set time, usually between 30 seconds and a minute, they have to catch as many as they can.
- End: when the time is up the prizes caught are counted and can be redeemed for gifts, discounts, merchandise or the brand's products.
One person plays at a time, but since each turn is so short a lot of people get a go quickly. While one plays, the crowd cheers them on, making the prize whirlwind experience even more exciting.
Why hire the wind machine?
Imagen
- Maximum engagement: few attractions pull so many people to a stand.
- It feeds itself: while one person plays, the rest stop to cheer, and the queue keeps growing.
- You choose the prizes: discounts, vouchers or QR codes reinforce your brand identity.
- Turns of 30 to 60 seconds: a promotional game for attracting customers with a constant flow of players.
Wind machine technical specifications
- Dimensions: 200 x 90 x 90 cm (Height x Width x Depth).
- Internal fan: high-powered, generating enough airflow to keep the slips flying inside the structure.
- Power: standard 220 V supply, compatible with any event's wiring.
- Weight: about 160 kg.
- Portability: easy to transport thanks to its compact size.
These are the wind booth dimensions for stands to plan for.
Wind machine versus wind booth
The booth is an immersive experience for large events; the machine is more compact, ideal for corporate events. In the booth you step inside the game, whereas with the machine the challenge is grabbing prizes with your arm, which is harder and more dynamic in tight spaces.
| Feature | Wind booth | Wind machine |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Needs plenty of space | Compact and versatile |
| Interaction | Immersive (the player steps inside) | Manual skill (arm only) |
| Best for | Fairs and large public events | Corporate events and promotions |
| Dynamic | Full experience | Fast and more difficult |
What kind of events the wind machine is ideal for
The prize-grabbing machine for brand activations fits:
- Trade fairs and exhibitions: it draws visitors to your stand and raises brand visibility.
- Corporate events, conferences and conventions: it gets attendees involved and interacting.
- Product launches: the prizes can be tailored to the product being presented.
- Shopping centres, promotions and special sales: offer discount vouchers as prizes and watch the footfall rise.
- Roadshows and sports events.
- Festivals and experiential marketing campaigns.
Cash cube hire in Barcelona for company parties and weddings
Grab what you can
Cash cube hire in Barcelona is not only for trade shows: at a company party the money machine becomes the challenge of the night. Watching a colleague flail among flying notes has the whole crowd in stitches. You can use fun notes with your logo, gift vouchers or cards with surprise prizes to hand out among your staff.
At weddings, the money grab machine adds a playful twist to the dancing or late-night snack, with messages from the couple among the papers. For brands, it is a promotional game for lead generation: anyone who wants to play leaves their details and walks away with a coupon. It works brilliantly at car dealerships, shops and openings, and we bring it to Madrid, Valencia and all over Spain. Tell us what you want flying and we will prepare a proposal.
- Company parties and dinners: a money machine filled with gift vouchers that shares out prizes among staff.
- Weddings and anniversaries: notes printed with the couple’s photo and funny messages to get the party going.
- Dealerships and shop openings: flying discount coupons that draw customers in throughout the weekend.
- Lead generation on stands: sign up to play and win instant prizes that turn visitors into contacts.

Branding and customisation of the prize wind machine
The prize wind machine is a perfect canvas for your brand. At almost 2 metres tall with a transparent frame, the whole crowd watches the papers fly while the participant tries to catch them. With a wind machine customised with your brand you can work on two levels:
- Outer frame: panels and base with your logo, colours or campaign image, in printed vinyl or PVC.
- Contents: the flying papers can be messages, discount coupons or QR codes with your design.
That way the attraction becomes a key part of your marketing and loyalty strategy, because people take something home and remember it. At United Events we offer full customisation and adapt to any idea.
The process: you tell us what you're after and send us your artwork, or we create it in a couple of days. Trusted suppliers print the panels and coupons, and our team fits each piece on the machine.
For transport we protect it with plastic film, so it reaches your event gleaming and as good as new. It's one of the best tools for experiential marketing with coupons in shopping centres, trade fairs and corporate events. Check the measurements in the features tab.
Wind machine hire price
What sets the wind machine rental price? How long the event lasts, where it's held, whether you brand it with your logo, how many days you need it and any extra services. We have it available in Barcelona and all over Spain. Request your quote, no obligation.
Wind machine set-up and installation
We handle transport, installation, configuration and dismantling, in Barcelona and across Spain:
- Planning: we agree the available space and access with you.
- Assembly: prize booth installation takes under an hour, including positioning the structure and connecting to 220 V.
- Testing: we check the fan system and the promotional material before opening.
- Staff: the machine is easy to run, but we recommend hosts or technicians to explain the rules, time the turns and hand out the prizes.
- Dismantling: full removal at the end.
Location: best decided before the event. We can't guarantee relocation once the machine is installed: the technical process takes time, the crew may not have the margin for a second installation mid-event, and moving the equipment interrupts the activity. Choosing the right spot from the start is what delivers the most impact.
Booking the wind machine
Two things are enough to reserve the wind machine:
- a 50% deposit up front;
- the event particulars: date and times, precise address, a contact person and invoicing details.
Frequently asked questions
What is the prize-grabbing wind machine and how does it work?
The prize-grabbing wind machine is a transparent structure in which an internal fan makes paper slips, coupons or prizes fly around. The player puts an arm in and tries to catch as many as possible in 30 seconds to a minute. The prizes won are then counted. One person plays at a time.
What is the difference between the wind machine and the wind booth?
The wind machine is compact and the player only puts an arm in, so it suits small spaces and corporate events. In the wind booth the player steps inside, which is a more immersive experience that needs more space, and is designed for trade fairs and large public events.
What space and power does the prize-grabbing wind machine need?
The prize-grabbing wind machine needs a recommended space of 250 x 250 cm and a standard 220 V power socket, with a power of about 150 W. No staff are required. Our team takes care of transport, set-up, which takes about 30 minutes, and collection.
Can the wind machine be customised with my brand and my prizes?
Yes. The prize-grabbing wind machine can be fully customised. You choose the prizes that fly around: coupons, gift vouchers, QR codes or joke banknotes with your logo. It is widely used at trade fairs and shopping centres to attract customers.
