How to win claw machine:
Step 1: Break glass.
Step 2: Claim Prize.
This is amazing, I tried it and it worked! I'm not allowed to go there anymore, I guess it's because I'm too good!
Cinnamon Apple Ikr?
+JoeAceJR I'm so good that the police won't stop following me. I think they want me to give them tips.
JoeAceJR Step 3: Get banned from store/arcade/whatever.
+Analytic31
and step 4, possibly get jail time for breaking store property and illegally TAKING something that was not purchased..... lmao..
Actually claw machines are not rigged. You just have to close your eyes and be the crane.
Sounds familiar
squidword just be the crane
ZippetySticks spongebob reference?
You didn't get a prize? You know what that means? It means you're a loser! I'm a winner see my prize, you're a loser who sits and cries!
Be the crane.... be the crane...
I remember winning a toy from a claw machine for this random kid and he called me his hero.
I felt so happy after that
son of hades how are you my brother, brother?
son of hades thats so cuteeeeee 💕
awwww
shsl_fxngirl *sniff* that's so nice *sniff*
That's cute. ✨
Me: * knowing this game is rig*
*Still tries to win a toy*
Same
mood
*relatable*
lol same
Cause it's still fun.
My way to always win:
1. Play one time or watch someone play one time.
2. Call someone that works there.
3. "The machine doesn't work, the claw is failing."
4. The worker will try it and lose. He/she will open, move the plushies around and give you the one you want, marking the machine as "out of order" and turning it down.
Success!
Extra:
6. Go back in half an hour and see the machine running again without having been "fixed".
They might give you your money back but they aren't giving you the prize.
Zain Chupacabra They always give me the prize
Priscilla Ferrari seriously? how do the same people not know what you are doing..
Priscilla Ferrari If they do that you've got some real nice claw operators. Why would they give you a prize? Why can't they just give you your money back however much it was. They're terrible businessmen.
Lol, if they give you the prize they're either being good to you or are really stupid.
the sad thing is about 3 years ago i tried to explain this to a guy in my feild trip group to an amusment park but he wouldnt hear any of it and just said i'm an unskilled loser and was mad that i couldn't beat the machine. so i got pissed and walked away. about 10 minutes later he had a blue stuffed dog and boasted about how good he was. when it was time for lunch he only had 8 bucks left. the problem? he came to the park with 40 dollars. to make it worse in a gift shop at the end of a ride i saw the exact same blue dog for $3.50
**when reads comment** :o

Lol and whats worse is this story is porbably true. Like damn 32 frickin dollars?

I remember when I was younger I went to a movie with my family and this guy was trying to win a Homer Simpson stuffed doll and I watched as he missed once or twice and then I said "Move it to the left a little" and he won the Homer Simpson and a little rainbow dog. He handed me the Homer and gave his kid the dog. I don't think I'll ever forget that.
Aww. Sweet story. Sure won't be something you'll forget. But two stuffed animals(Home has the mind of one) as you said that? That's some luck there!
Valen Warden there was a claw game in mesa az in a Safeway. It was a radioactive man doll from Simpsons. It took 5 bucks but it's now mine!!! I still sleep with it

How to win
1.put a blindfold

The last time I played one of these, it was at Dave & Buster's. I got the toy, no sweat. Then as soon as it was suspended in air, the claw stopped and SHOOK IT OFF. At that point, I gave up.
Gabriel Schleifer bruh
Was it the big one or a smaller claw machine?
Gabriel Schleifer Now that’s true scamming, you should’ve like called the guys that own it and they would refund you or maybe even give more as an apology because seriously man that’s ridiculous.

I think we should really do something about this. That's almost like scamming people.

I mean, what? I didn't say anything.
I saw one where the claw didn't move when you played the joystick, or close, or go down.
Oh wait I didn't put any quarters in.. huh
I once came across a claw that was broken and not rigged properly, I won 5 smurfs in 5 goes. Believe if these weren't rigged, the toys would be way to easy to win.
Just because you don't win doesn't mean it's rigged. A lot of claw machines aren't rigged at ALL, they're just hard.
Claw Kings No believe me this machine was broken, I played on it like a week later and it was impossible to win anything.
A lot of claw machines have crap items that are bought in bulk and cost less than a try. You pay $1 for 3 goes but stuff you wwin is worth only 25 cents on average per item...
I'm supposed to be using this claw machine to get some teddy bears but this one claw keeps kicking my ass...
You memed it pretty good there

Well i saw a roblox toy from the claw and i tried to get it and i didnt

One time I played it then the machine broke so a dude who worked there opened the game and told me to pick any prize I wanted

thanks for the tip. I/'m gonna break it "on accident"
Meanwhile in Japan, the skill cranes are easy to win.
Tringapore Cause the Japanese have Morals and Pride, unlike the greedy and no-morals Occidental company bosses ;_;
That one requires actual skill and precision though.
When I was about 6 or so I was visiting family in Japan, and there was a toy in the claw machine that I really wanted. We tried to get it several times but it didn't work. Then one of the people working at the arcade came over and my mum told him which toy I wanted and he opened the machine and got it for me. Gotta love Japan.
LIES i live in Japan and Japanese claw machines are just as rigged as everywhere in the world.
神様 Bruh! I am talking about the one where you have to make the figurine drop. I won so many of those to the point the game centre changed the way to win when I returned.
When I grow up,
I wanna make a non-rigged claw machine.
Sure thing.
I’m sure many fair claw machines exist, they just aren’t well known because the majority of large businesses want profit and not entertainment.
PLEASE DO
You can actually just buy a machine and set it so that it's at full strength every time. There are also play-until-you-win claw machines but those aren't used often
You can't. People make claw machines and they need to pay the people who make the toys some money. Let's say that you have a claw machine that's 50 cents to play. If a toy is worth 5 bucks then you need to pay the dude who made it however much he should get. He has to pay for the materials so he uses some of that. He only gets some of the money. If somebody wins his toy and he only gets 10 cents at the end of they day, he's gonna be kinda angry because he didn't get enough money, plus he has to pay people for the materials. Also, the people who are running the claw machine get some money too, so thats a lot less. Would you like it if you made a toy for a claw machine and only got a cent back? I don't think so. To sum it up, a non-rigged claw machine would either cost an obnoxious amount of money.. *or not be any fair.*
My way too win:
step 1: play like 10 times
step 2: give up
step 3:see if someone is going to the same one
step 4:wait until he/she wins
step 5: push them and take the prize
step 6:RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
step 7: go to a other one and do it again

Close your eyes. And be the crane
How to beat a claw machine. The way is to use tools like a hammer, an axe, a crowbar, the crowbar would probably be the most useful, a cutting torch has too much risk of destroying the stuff in the machine.
+asdfghjkl Come on there just claw machines the glass is most likely not bullet proof......now the question is ill the glass shatter to let you get it or is it like car glass?

There is this one claw machine filled with stuffed ducks in the mall where I live and it costs a dollar to play it. The good thing is that u get to keep trying until u get a stuffed duck. Some ppl didn't know that, and I didn't know that until I tried it and lost the first time, and then my lil brother tried to play it and I told him that he needs more money, but then the claw started moving and he didn't get a duck that time too. So then, I tried it again without paying any money, and I figured out that u get multiple tries until u get a duck. I got 3 ducks using 3 dollars with like, 20 tries on that day. There was also a line of like, 5 ppl behind me wanting to play because I guess after seeing me figure out the secret, they wanted to try too. Thx to my brother, I now know that one of the claw machines in the mall secretly let u continue trying to get a stuffed duck even after u lost the first time 😂 all of the other claw machines were so rigged tho
My guess is the ducks were stuffed with cocaine.
BRUH YESS!!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU DESCRIBED IT SO CLOSE. My little sister played the same game and after she lost my dad didnt want to pay more so he went away, but then she tried again until she won
Anh L0L I once played the same, but with stuffed dolphins. I got THREE dolphins in one try..It grabbed three of them, and I got all three. For like, 10kr. (I live in Denmark).
Anh L0L Lol everybody knows that the claw machine is play until you win it literally says it on the side of the machine. I have the exact same one at a movie theater near me.
Once, at Adventureland in IA, I found a non rigged claw machine. It was one dollar, but you got a ball everytime! Me and my friends spent 4$ on it, and got 4 balls, now i have a red spike ball!
how to win
1 put in 100 $ in cents
2 kick it as hard as you can

claw machines are way too rigged. when I was a kid I once picked up a toy in the opposite corner of the book, and when the claw was about an inch away from being over the box, the claw opened completely, went over the box, closed and then re opened. it didn't barely slip out of the claw, it OPENED COMPLETELY. never played another claw game again

Nah, I still play claw machines, I'm fairly lucky with them.
LooneLuxxe not luck, skill, just don't play at the Walmart ones those are 100% rigged (still won, I heard a click right before I won one) but play ones at Tops grocery stores
Koopa Camerupt I use to beat the one at my local Walmart every time. then one day the claw just stopped even fake grabbing the toys?
yeah cause the gambling industry totally isn't huge and people definitely don't like gambling
This video was a great way to inform people that some claw machines are in fact set on payout rates. However, not all claw machines are set this way and some are 100% skill based. The unfortunate thing is, the only way to determine if a claw machine is rigged, is to play it. :P

At least you get an uhhhh....Kinda good song?
Dang, that's worse than the one my son won... he got an ipod shuffle in 2 tries and it lasted maybe 6 months, at which point we found out it was so old they didn't even support it. They tried to sell me a new one but I passed. The kid got 6 months of use for $2. Why spoil it that sweet little victory by dropping money on an almost identical device that they're willing to support? I got him a cheap replacement and he was just as happy.
Sparkle Sky there are mp3s online for 3$
Amy Nguyen yeah they are broke
Wtf?
Even as kid growing up in the 90's I always knew Claw machines were rigged. 25 years later people still haven't caught on!
Everyone knows they're rigged deep down. You could have the perfect grip and you're about to get a toy! Then for some reason, the claw loses all of its strength and randomly decides to drop it? Not suspicious at all.
Yeah, I could relate to that.
I knew that since I was like five.
Ok boomer
Best to skip the claw machine entirely and buy a cheap stuffed toy from the dollar store or recycled market!
They’re rare, but I absolutely love the idea of those winner every time claw machines. If you don’t get the bigger prizes on the first try, the claw moves to the bin of smaller prizes. If you don’t win a big prize then you get to try for a small one as many times as it takes to win something. I honestly think that these types of claw machines should become more popular over the traditional ones, because unlike the others you don’t get scammed.

One of my fondest memories as a child was winning an Angry Bird (he’s called Red) from a claw machine. I still have him to this day and I will always keep him.
thats so sweet
The claw isn't even strong enough to lift it but there is good in this world because I remember when was young there was a fast food place with a claw machine and it has a BIG NICE BULKY CLAW and it had four appendages and NEVER dropped the toy and you know what the best thing was??? YOU GOT TO KEEP GOING FOR FREE UNTIL YOU GOT THE TOY!!!!
And believe me this is a true story....so if you ever lose faith in humanity just remember this holy tale.....
That fast food place sounds generous.
I can guarantee you that has nothing to do with generosity, but all to do with drawing in all the families with kids which they can earn a lot of money selling food to.
Pennywise The Dancing Clown or you find the fact that a majority of claw machines are not rigged it's just the rigged ones are the ones you see in toy stores, normal stores and amusement park arcades
Where is that claw machine?!?!
nice tale man. When I was 6, Me and my parents would go every weekend to try to get a toy. And most of the time, we did catch one! Of course, we spent a lot of money and most of those toys were thrown away

How to win:
Go for the medium toys that are on top.
I think another problem is that it goes up and just jerks to a stop, and because the toy is still carrying momentum, it falls away from the claw. It needs a slower stop
I once got a bear from the claw machine and they made us put it back 😭
Who is "they", and why? Wtf
Give us the full story of what happened. We are curious to know. >_< As am I. Lol
Me, my friend, and my sister were at laser tag one day and my sister is really into stuffed animals (she adores them), and she saw this teddy bear she REALLY wanted, so after spending over $10 for this stupid $7 toy I finally get it, and while walking back the manager comes up to us and tells us we cant leave with the bear so we had to give it back.
With the claw, of course
You really should have refused! How old were you, did they give you the money back?
Once when I was a little kid (4 years old), me and my dad were at a publix and they had a claw machine (Don't ask me why they had a claw machine.) and I tried to get a toy but it never worked and so when I had given up and walked back over to my dad, an old lady put some money in the claw machine and got a stuffed frosty the snowman. She gave me the snowman and just walked off.
I know, I sucked XD

I found a claw machine at my local arcade where you can get around to the back pretty easily... and under and easy-to-move panel, are just knobs that you use to set the "usual pull strength" and "winning pull strength" and "winning pull chance (from 5%-50%)" so I just put the normal pull strength up to max... won like 5 amazing stuffed animals. the owner never noticed...
Man I wish my local arcade had a claw machine like that. I once spent like, 20 dollars on a claw machine until I finally got one for my cousin.

I once caught TWO stuffed toys at once: Scooby-Doo and Flat Eric. Yep, that was a great day
Dario Leo I got scooby doo once too
i only once got a teddy Bear;-;
Dario Leo I got Mario but not only that I found out the thing was a Japan exclusive then how did it end up in bucsh gardens
I once caught 6 in a day. 1 giant toy aswell
Gentleberry16 Gerek that happens a lot of your good at it
I remember the very easy claw machine one time
It "broke down"
I think we've all seen that guy at the bar who walks away from the claw machine with like ten stuffed animals. There are people who master the game and win despite the machines being rigged.
If by "win", you mean spending lot too much on crappy, made in China, stuff animals ? Check alibaba's "plush toys for claw machine", most are around 1-2$ piece. Master the game = how much $$ spent do you think?
In a lottery, only the bank win.
magbxl I've seen guys win try after try, quarter after quarter. You're absolutely right that the house always wins, that's why I rarely gamble, but the profit isn't the main motivation for most claw machine players. It's mostly about showing off in front of others and impressing women at bars. I've seen alot of cheap stuffed animal gifts go a long way.
Spread open my legs and call me Sally, if you can handle the claw then you can handle me.
lol that's me
I went to wildwood once and the hotel we stayed at had the best claw machine. It was play until you win! The claw was strong, and never detected small toys. At one point, I picked up 5 toys at once. We donated a whole bunch of them since we got, like, thirty!
Wow, that is probs one of the best claw machines ever!
I stay at Wildwood too, and there used to be a claw like that where I stay! I miss it :(
Madelyn Smith WHERE WAS THAT AT I NEED TO KNOW
I want to go there so badly
I can bet that the pay fee was more than what each toy was worth. definitely.
How to win the claw machine (LEGIT)
1. Check their grip(if grip is too soft don't play it)
2. Always aim for the smaller side where the claw will close
3. Patience for fixing the right angle
4. make sure to put in all the money you are willing to pay at once, so that the payout will register. I use this trick at Walmart and I win plenty.
@@Crob0506 sometimes I got 2-3 stuffed toys for the price of 1 so it also depends on the claw grip and right spot
@@kenbarroga2933 what do you think determines the claw grip
thank you i was looking for a legit one that wasnt a joke
Also, you should always try to go for a prize near the prize shoot.
"All I want people to know is that they are not the problem, the claw machine is the problem."
The claw machine is technically not the problem...
One time I kept trying the claw machine until I won something.
I left with a plush cupcake.
@@pcatma So a business person who buys a $3000 claw machine is suppose to give away inventory at cost and make no profit? What planet are you from?
@@pcatma Incorrect. You would more or less be paying for it what you would be paying for it in a store.
@@pcatma Nope. When you buy things wholesale, say a plush teddy bear, and you buy 100 of them, you would pay something like $1.00 a piece for them. More if its licensed merchandise. A store would then sell that for $5-$10, or $20-$30 if licensed merch. Thus if instead of selling in a store you put it in a claw machine and it take $8-$10 dollars to win, your still getting a fair price for your toy, and the owner is making a profit. I asked a friend who works at a store in a mall that sells the LOL dolls how much they pay for a box of 20. She said $40. They sell each doll ball for $20, so that's a profit of $360. Its just the way business works.
I once hooked a puppy with a collar with a claw tine in between the collar and neck of the puppy, when the claw came up it went slack but the puppy began to slide down only very slowly. The claw stopped moving along either horizontal axis and went into error mode to avoid dispensing the animal xD
I bet you were mad
I want to sue these idiots
Jesus dude. Why are you abusing animals?
It was a stuffed animal
I didn't understand what he said
Damn and all this time I thought I was "good" at claw machines...guess I've just been lucky.
I think you can be good at them.
there is still some skill
You still need to hover over the prize properly, so there is a little skill.
I still feel like it's me. I live in Japan, and I swear whenever I go to an arcade with claw machines you have no clue how many "master claw machine" people I see with up to five bags stuffed to the brim with plushies. I've only gotten one thing from a claw machine, and that was a rainbow hello kitty plushie. But, I mean, it's Japan. What else did I expect.
Once upon a time there was a man who tried to beat a claw machine. He tried so hard but he always lose. His life is ruined. This poor man turned into desperation so he locked himself in his apartment with only canned foods and internet. Years has passed he saw this video titled "its not you. Claw machines are rigged". He shocked but also find this as a revelation. The next day he decided to get off his apartment and start a new life, got a wife and live happily ever after. Thank you Vox.
*sorry for my english :p
I know this very well
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated song is pretty dope
Ur name is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No there not rigged some are but not all
😂😂
I actually win 5 or more times playing those claw machines, maybe i'm the chosen one
Once I was at the mall with my mom,my aunt,and my cousin.
So we went to this little arcade place and there was this claw machine with angry birds plushies in it.
My cousin was really into Angry Birds so he asked my aunt if she could play it,she said she didnt know how to so my mom gave it a shot.
EVERY single time the claw GRABS it,and then when its like,2 inches away,BOOM,it just drops.
Since my Cousin was like,6 years old,he thought that my Mom didnt want to get it and was letting it go on purpose.
When we got home my cousin told my grandma about it and she was dieing of laughter.
So my Aunt had to explain that the machine was just rigged and that my Mom wasnt letting go of it.
My cousin would never forget that day,he cried when the claw drops the plush,I also got mad so I bought some tokens to play other games while waiting
SO,YES THEY ARE FRICKIN RIGGED
That happened to me 3 times! It was a PERFECT GRAB, AND it was so close! Than boom. One inch away, it drops. IT WAS SO RIGGED.
The people who watched us even agreed that it was rigged.
Edit: Grammar problems.
Me at 2 am in front of the bathroom mirror, tears still flowing down my face: You are NOT the problem. The claw machine is the problem
😂🤣
So, in summation, the moral is to vandalize the claw machines. When it cheats, smash through the glass and get the toy.
After all, these claw machine makers are committing robbery.
it's not robbery when you willingly give them your money
Raven
Then it's fraud.
Codrian Drasil they never promise aything in return. it's gambling
A little melodramatic, don't ya think? Might be better to just not use it, huh champ?
Codrian Drasil no more than casinos
Did no-one seriously know this? My parents told me they were rigged the first time I saw one XD
same lmao
I grew up thinking they were actually called "rip off machines".
WillMatt Animations I knew too,in fact I came here to say that XD
WillMatt Animations same! xD
+Amerryla Thompson goodness same same.. I wasn't even told by my parents. I just learned by watching kids and grown ups alike try it and fail over and over. -.- I'm glad I was at least smart in that area. Lol
If you didn't know that claw machines were rigged by now, YOU are 100% of the problem
Cuntaur Stroke basically you are right. *Play claw machine*
once I was wasting money on a claw machine and I was trying to get a domo batman plush and it had just gotten to the edge of the box thingy drop down thing idk. and me not thinking to push down its head with the crane so physics could do the work, I instead grabbed the domo plush with the crane and somehow threw it back inside of the machine
Cuntaur Stroke NO you just S U C K
Cuntaur Stroke illuminati
so the claw opens as soon as I press the button and then while it’s dropping it closes to early :/
What if someone actually made a fair claw machine where you are guaranteed to win a prize every play? Are we that greedy and conniving to not make one?
there are
they go by the name play till you win
infinite tries and will not stop until you get a prize
most are just lollipops tho
some are pluish
+LoneSoul06 Yes, they do exist. But remember the prize is worth less than how much it costs to play, as opposed to these machines that you have a chance to win prizes worth more than the price to play
+LoneSoul06 those do exists but the prices are typically something shit likes sweets
+LoneSoul06 If you really want a fair price for a game that is not really a game, because you are guaranteed to win, why not just go ahead and buy it? it would literally be a vending machine.
+LoneSoul06 I used one just the other day, I put in a dollar seventy five, hit the button that looked like a mountain dew can, and a mountain dew came out the shoot.
This woman sounds so excited to be narrating this video.
I don't think the ones at Dave & Busters are rigged. Me and my brother went there many times before. Once we went for an after school trip and some of our classmates would give us there PowerCards to win stuff for them because they saw me and my brother holding a whole box of stuffed animals. We cleaned out the claw machines no problem.
CutePup249 places like that, thankfully are built to enjoy the experience since the total profit from a few visitors is pretty nice.
The one I did was rigged :/
all the prize games are rigged at dave and busters. probably not rediculously unfairly, but theyre all rigged to only allow the chance for a "jackpot" every certain number of tries.
Yes they're not rigged. Those are Japanese claw machines which are actually skill-based. Round One also has those. You need to push the button again to *close* the claw at the right moment.
i got a dave and buster's ball from a vending machine
I think they should have to put a visible notice on the machine, “You have an 2% chance of winning a prize” because the video is right, it’s basically a form of gambling because the odds of winning are so stacked against you. If there’s no notice, then it’s just another form of fraud.
Is not 2% chances and is possible to win with skill. Is just that some of the owner make it too difficult to win. The machine is not at fault is the owner who set it this way. If you think the machine is rigged then you should stop after the first try. You need to gauge whether isit a bad machine or good one.
@@Adifferentlife318 the owner doesn't program the machine
@@themindeclectic9821 They dont programe it. but the machine is created with function to control of claw strength, the length to a certain extent and other function such as a payout rate where player gets item once they hit the amount of gameplay if they fail to get anything before the payout rate is hit. and by adding some rubber glove it could give it a good grip. The Owner can find ways to make it easier or harder. for example they can even reduce the blocking chute height.
@@Adifferentlife318 Yes I watched the video too. How do you propose the owners reconfigure their machines to make them easier for you? The only people who know their way around these machines are the companies who make them rigged to begin with.
am I the only one who don't give a damn with claw machines at arcade? if I want a doll I just go and buy it.
Rim The Stew
You seem like the type of person to buy a trophy for your kids
unicorn!!!!!!!!!UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rim The Stew I usually end up spending more money on that claw machine than the thing costs
Rim The Stew its better to earn the toy cause its more fun :)
Rim The Stew yeah but usually prizes at claw machines are hard to find outside of claw machines.
I work at a "game" arcade and I always laugh at people who waste their money on claw machines. Most redemption games are like this. I mean, they're not vending machines. They're designed to take your money until enough plays have gone through, then they will start to payout.
The problem IS the people. Not the claw machines. If customers would stop spending their money on stupid redemption games and ticket games, and get back to playing good ol' racing games, shooting games, rhythm games etc., then we could have real game arcades back.
ShisnoKatana2097 so true bro... so true...😢😢😢😢😢
ShisnoKatana2097 Very true *the market is controlled mainly by consumers*
the claw hates us people 😑
Elite Noob That is true sadly a lot of people making money from customers tries really hard to stop their customers from learning the truth about what they are buying. And when customer thinks he is buying something else it is somehow easier to make money of him, it is kind of "legalized" scam.
Katana2097 the argument isnt arcades its people who want their 50¢ things
Those prizes typically do not cost anywhere near $7. Plush toys can be bought for like $1-$2 each in wholesale.
spaceye not the point
spaceye Seen the film "The Jerk"? "Take A Chance And Win Some Crap!"
spaceye It was used as an example more then real life data
spaceye There are some claw machines and some games like them (the Key or Scissor games), that have more expensive prizes like generic MP3 players, headphones, watches, or gift cards. It depends, but those are typically rarer than the "filled to the brim with cheap plush" ones around. :)
spaceye Unless it's licenced.
Lol, my dad asked the guy if we could have the toy inside, and he opened it and gave it to me
bruh
@@Tg_154 probably cause we blee a ton of cash on it and he thought it was okay¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@StarrySkies nah bruh in the claw game where the prizes are tickets the jackpot was in the dead zone i asked the guy to put it in the front and i got it 1st try,
@@emojiguy8907 oooh ✨
Once saw a girl who picked stuffed toys with the claw machine like she was in a candy bar. man i wanted her skills.
I saw a woman once completely empty a claw machine of huge chocolate bars. Like she had the lot. I still don't understand :') I only noticed as she walked away with her arms full. I was too shy to ask her. dammit.
The only claw machine I ever tried wasn't rigged, so I guess I was lucky.
theALEKY It probably was rigged, but you were lucky
DOFT Maybe hes just a pro masta \(•_•)/
not all claw machines are rigged. if you know what to look for, you can fine TRUE skill Crane games where the claw power is set.
theALEKY same, but the prize was horrible, I got a yellow spiked rubber ball.
The best ones are with chocolate and the rubber stoppers on it. I win everytime!
