It’s no different to a slot machine really because when enough people have played and lost the grip tightens on the claws , it has different pressure and when enough money is taken that’s when you win
Once when i was on the 9th grade we were on a class trip and came across a claw machine and i decided to try my luck An EA walked up to the machine and said "that only works in toy story" And then i got the prize FIRST TRY
It grips only after it has reach a certain amount of dollar. Learnt this from a friend. He used to wait for others to waste their money on it. Then when he played it, he knew his would grip properly coz its reached 20 bux or whatever it was.
Truth is, like a slot machine it has to take in so much money before the claw😂uses enough strength to grab the toys and they shake when it goes back up to the top
I work on arcade machines. Yeah, those things are totally rigged. The strength of the claw is either low, mid, or high, with high being set to go off every set number of times. Most will set it to have enough plays to pay for the item before it switches to high. But there really is a skill to it. Just because you got a strong claw doesn't mean you were lined up right. The best way to win is to watch someone else play. If they have a near miss, they prob got a mid-strength claw. When you see that around 4-5 of them, the strong one will normally be a little after, roughly. There are also some machines without the mid-strength claw, but they are normally the old machines because mid wasn't invented until later. Hope that helps
I remember I spend70$ for a plushie in claw machine for my ex and all grip fails no matter what I do, I learn that it ain't worth it if the plushie cost 20-30$ but I waste 70$ and I walk away and never touch a crane machine again
…You're literally explaining what the game is, not any trick. I kept watching thinking that you'd have something that my son couldn't figure out when he was 2… 🤣
Really..Arcades don't want you to know to line up the middle if the claw over the prize?!..That's it? I thought that was how to play the game,nit a secret they don't want you to know!
1 tip i have is for the rigged Elaut machines you see all over the place. Often times if the machine is going to pay out soon, it will hang onto the prize longer. Like it will drop the prize when it hits the top instead of 1/4 of the way up. I use that knowledge every time i go to the boardwalk and play at arcades there and i usually walk away with alot of stuff because i can tell when claws are ready. Doesnt always work but id say 90% of the time its correct.
Sometimes, though, it means that the prizes are totally unwinnable because even with payout set, something is broken! In line with this tip, though, if the machine is really full, taking a picture for comparison might be easier!

Idc if fail to get prize, i want the gems scattered.
I think i know that trick

same i got 5 before and now 4😅
holy moly, i had no idea if i wanted to win the item i had to put the claw over it!! no wonder i kept losing!!
As a family owner of bfs in Colorado this doesn't do anything
Probably the worst logic I've ever heard.
I'm *pretty*confident arcades aren't worried about this "trick."
stupid grabber is a issue
How do you win the key claw one
Why would you want that thing.
“Pro tip: line it up before you hit the button” o hate that you have my view you sir are just bad at YouTube
So try and line it up. Got it.

Look at the prize and ask yourself….is it worth it?
Is that a turtle or a burger?
I love turtles
I love arcade Matt omg 😆 pls send me a merch me and my dad always watches you. You are so good I am sub and like
Is the trick here in the room with us?

Isn't that for children?
This maybe a good technique but the Prize is not worth having….im really positive this technique will not work for a iPhone

Tried this and won so many prizes
🎉😂
casoeh
Makes sense..not really
I’m down voting this vid for the wasted time of saying they’re gonna show a trick and never happening.
get a life
why do you have to count the prizeses

That’s so smart that no one notices
I have never lost a claw machine game in YEARS. I dont know how, but I’ve always been good at it
I thought it was a burger😂
You are lying

The machine is set on purpose for you to lose.

They don’t have rubber tips on the claws anymore
Doesn’t apply in the uk where payouts £50 minimum at 20p per play
I worked so hard and this happens 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
Only problem with this is sometimes the vendor over crowds the machines and nothing is get able. I tried even by the prize chute and didn’t budge.

I thought those are krabby patties plushies.
Old arcade tech here. Claw machines usually have an invisible sort of "counter" with how many people play. The more plays, the tighter the claw grips.
I want a turtle burger so bad
