Claw Machines Are Rigged

There was a time when you could win at the Claw Machine if you had the skill. Now it keeps track of how much money is deposited for only a slight chance at winning.

The Claw only becomes strong enough to hold the toy after you've covered the cost of it. What a bummer!!! How much money have you sunk into the claw?

If you come across a very old Claw machine then you still have a decent chance of winning if your good at the game. It's the newer Claw machines that are high tech and keep track of how much money you've deposited and react accordingly.

According to New Day Videos:

Most machines now are programmed where once in X amount of tries (with some randomization) the claws will tighten sufficiently to hold. This means that it is impossible to hold the prize most of the time, regardless of the skill of the operator. The claw will be "loose" most of the time or it will loosen even after the prize is grabbed.

Is this fraud? That's a crime and should be investigated by the Arcade Police.

Vivian, seen in this video, is an expert at the claw machine. She has played it regularly since she was five-years-old and came to have at least an 80% to 95% success rate. Now most of the machines are rigged!
