HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR YALL 1. Get the light weighted items so you are more likely to win them 2. Get the ones close to the edge 3. Try get the claw to get stuck to the toy so then it will fall off at the exit bit (like they did to the smurfs glasses)! Hope it helps
Sam McCloud well I worked in one place who have these machines before,,, true to be told it’s all controlled by a computer,, so let’s say for examples if the machine had a $1000 already on it then you could win and it dose start again ppl will come over n over n lucky one will come when machine get $1000 on it then you could win again lool
What they don't tell you is the the claw grabbing strength is pre-set. For example, every 10 plays it will grab tighter onto something and maybe you will win.
you dumb they did tell you lol one they told you most and all claw machines are pay out. then they told you to look for something that you can hook on to to win when it won't allow you to dumbass
True! Only thing I ever won in a claw machine was a Lisa Simpson doll because of the shape of her head and being positioned perfectly made it easy for the claw to grab. It actually was something I would have bought if I saw it rather than most junk in claw machines so I was happy with the win. Took 2 coins I think.
what about machines that don't let you have free control of the claw? (speaking as someone from the UK) most of our machines only have a forward button and a right button, aside from trying to hook prizes any other tips?
I learned to hook on machines that don't give full claw control. Your best bet is to do a null drop first and watch how the claw spins. It should be fairly consistent from drop to drop so if you can get a good tag / accessory grab with the spin it gives you, you have a very high chance of winning. Even with the really massive claw machines regardless of if they're set to payout or not. You don't really need the free claw control but it is a massive help when you have it.
Truth. My best win was this pretty big pony I won in a diner for 50 cents. The hook caught its bridle and lifted it right up. I thought I'd never win as all the prizes were large. It's still sitting in my office!
I worked at a Pizza joint back in the mid 90’s and we had a claw game as you walked in the restaurant. I don’t remember how I learned to get free games out of it, but I did! The claw was just like the one with Smurf’s in the video. While the machine is turned off, hold the joystick to the right, if I remember correctly. Now keep holding the joystick and turn the power back on and voilà, you have a free game. This is all dependent on if you have someone that can handle the plug situation or if on a power strip. Unless you are Mister Fantastic and can reach in the back and unplug the machine you need the suggested ways I mention above. I’m sure this technique no longer works, but you won’t know until you try! When I was able to get free games, I cleaned it out of all the Upperdeck Baseball cards it had. If anyone knows if this technique still works, let me know, thanks!
Thanks to the uploader.. The key machine stuff at the start of this video allowed me to sound clued up while talking to an arcade with a messed up machine today. Can the uploader or anyone else who knows these things elaborate more on my experience: We visit a place called Skegness, England twice a year. In October 2017 i went on the key machine and attempted to win a Nintendo switch, back then it was travelling a little further after I pressed the button which I noticed but didn't understand. Went back this weekend (june 2018) and while attempting to get the Nintendo switch this time it wasn't travelling further so (after watching this video) I know its ready to pay out. I got the key through the hole in 3 attempts but when it went through the hole it kept going, hit the Nintendo switch causing it to swing around, the key didn't spin around it just returned back and I lost my credit. I found a manager and told him that I just won but it didn't pay out. He said if he witnessed it go through the hole he would have give me the Nintendo switch but he'd have to refer it to the highest manager the next day because he didn't see it. They had no cctv at all watching this machine. I then went home and saw this video (thank you) and learnt if it went through the hole its a win, which I knew anyway. But I wanted to be 100% sure before I talked to this manager. I was talking to the manager for at least 15 minutes he was talking all sorts of nonsense about how the machine works and why I didn't win.. I told him, look, even the average Joe knows these machines are rigged, this one was rigged in October as it was travelling further than i told it, yesterday it had reached its rig amount because it was going where I told it.. The aim of the game is to get it through the hole, I put it through the hole, I won, simple.. But either a malfunction happened and it didn't twist or this machine is illegally double rigged. He told me they love it when people win big prizes it brings good publicity. I told him well the opposite will happen if I leave having won but not getting my prize. He said "id offer you one of these smaller prizes as a consolation but I assume you don't want that" I told him i won the Nintendo switch so I would like that prize. Because there was no cctv, no staff to see it, me sounding clued up (thanks to this channel) and my threat to give the bad publicity he said "so I give you the switch, you go on Facebook write good reviews we all go home happy right?" we shook and he told his lower manager to give me a switch. However, I did notice that when he went to get the Nintendo from the machine he took the right one and not the left one I had been playing for and we'd been talking about (the left being the one closest to the key and the one people would most likely go for) So if you've stuck with me through that I have 2 questions : 1/ the key went through the hole.. That's a definite win correct? There's no further mechanic, it goes through, you win and it spins around? Meaning A/ its rigged B/ it malfunctioned 2/ considering he took the right Nintendo to give me and not the left one that I tried for, does that confirm there's something riggy going on? Or just he made a mistake? (I wanted the left one because it was the red and blue switch, the right one was grey lol) Thanks for reading/answering
The only thing I ever won in a claw machine was a Lisa Simpson doll because she was angled perfectly and her head was made up of multiple triangles jutting out so it was easy for the claw to grab. Her and Maggie were the easiest ones to get though they had the whole family.
I used to service the computers that controlled payouts for grabbers. The machines I worked with only produced a "winning grab" after $200 had been spent since the previous payout. Whenever someone wins, the next 100 plays are guaranteed to lose!
This was awesome to watch and listen to you guys, but, uhh, wtf wad that outro music you used at the end of the video!? It sounded like Cosmo Canyon from Final Fantasy VII!!!
Went to Gatlinburg with my cousins. Their dad tried for like AN HOUR to get a Thing 1 doll out of the machine. Had to have spent over $100. He finally looped the claw through the tag on the doll and it made the claw tighten its grip on the doll below it. He pulled out Thing 1 and Thing 2 in one fell swoop!!
I have a favorite claw machine that I've won four prizes from. One time, I thought I'd lost, but it hooked onto part of a prize that was stuck to ANOTHER prize, and I ended up with two lol
The only winners of this video are the store proprietors seeing as how you appeared to spend about 50 bucks and walked away with about 3 dollars of plush
been spotting out some claw machines- there's never any licensed characters that are worth anything, and if there are they're intentionally buried in a mound
That was just lucky to find one that got a place for you to hook the claw in. What if the prizes have no place to stick the claw in them? Like if they're a box or a stuffed animal that's round and without any places to hold onto?
We're all my small RUclipsrs at grinding for what they love ❤️and have a passion for? If you see this Don't give up, and believe bros from Miniklin 👊💚😊
All the claw games I came across have only 1 try for both axis. I never came across a game like that where you can move the claw back and forth several times
I remember this one time i kicked in the window of the machine and took about 7 of the stuffed toys😂😂😂They took all of the toys and told me to never come back😂😂😂😂
I don't think it's rigged. Just difficult. As long as the claw moves to where you want it to go then it's not rigged. Some things just can't be gripped easily.
@@booksaremybag4684 That's just straight up not true. These machines have variations in grip strength, with the owner determining how strong and when. This isn't speculation, it's a fact of the machines.
@@Kasparovwannabe but how? It's highly unlikely that there's a wizard of Oz in a back room somewhere pressing buttons to sabotage the machine. I don't know how they could rig it and how they could know when to pay out.
Honestly, it’s probably cheaper to hit up eBay and order these things. Messing with those rigged machines is not a “cheap” way of getting anything. They’re designed to profit the owner of the machine...not the player. Unless someone enjoys doing these for recreation, they’re never going to come out ahead - the “house” always wins. ;)
I remember years ago in our local shopping centre we had a claw machine and the Teddy’s had £50 vouchers and we had a way to win every time, we cleared out the machine 🤣 there was no alarms on them back then

Thanks saved me ages, your the real champ
Cool I'll use this next time I see one of these machines

Too funny bro!! 😂
Yea true
Bro, just let them have their fun

Wow, we got a real winning personality here. I bet your mom's glad she kept you.
Keep your money in your pocket, and you’re a winner every time.
wisest words. unless you have nephews and nieces and you wanna be a kind but savvy person

Why?? Money cannot make you happy

equestri femme U watched the claw machines are rigged not you video too 🤣
I thought you were actually going yo explain how to win
fiorella mendez It's not a matter of knowing how to win, but rather knowing when it's going to allow you to win.
you dumb they did tell you lol one they told you most and all claw machines are pay out. then they told you to look for something that you can hook on to to win when it won't allow you to dumbass
fiorella mendez me to
I no wro. G titles)
80 dollars later..."I won a Smurf!"
in the uk on our claw machines we only get to move the claw twice, forward and to the side
aims rl same in Ireland
We don't have them at all here in Italy

Jordan Mellor Then don't even bother with it tbh.
Those are the only claw machines we have in the UK unless they are "play until you win" machines for kids.
Iv won on these key machines in the UK, also win on the claw ones offen. You just have to pay alot and know what to go for.
Man v Claw HA! You sound like a scammer 🤣

Brainy smurf is really smart. he knew wearing those glasses would help him get saved from that vending machine! haha
OMG, when you showed that machine right at the start that was full of Peter Cottontail dolls, I got a huge punch right in the nostalgic feels!

“Why are all the ones with glasses missing from our machine?”
HAHA died at that part xD
3:53 The smurf hangings of 1966
That blue smurf with the glasses is brainy xD
Once, my friend and i won 4 prizes in 1 go, the prizes were smaller plushes and it hooked onto the handles of the stuffed cups haha
Let me summarize what I’ve learned… *How to win: just go for the prizes that are wearing glasses.*
That's cool 😝 Love your videos😁 Great Job
The only thing I ever won in a claw machine was a Lisa Simpson doll because she was angled perfectly and her head was made up of multiple triangles jutting out so it was easy for the claw to grab. Her and Maggie were the easiest ones to get though they had the whole family.
Lol "of course its due to pay out" Nice video!
Nice job on winning those Keymaster games. That machine has beat me many times.
Biggest nerds of the century

Are you ready it's the best
Send my five year old little brother and my mom to cry and say they spent 25$. It works

not sure what is worse...
grown men playing with claw machines or me watching them...
You watching them because you liked it enough to comment which makes you a baby.
So now you have a bunch of Smurf’s littering your house.. now what?
Awesome video!! :D
I can't play like that with the claw machines over here. You get one chance to go up, and one chance to go to the right D:
Awesome as always dude love this channel keep them coming

Were you sleeping through it,?.... LOL!!
"That's what it'll do when youre playing."
Gets prize.
Clickbait video - Can you label your videos so people that want to actually watch it can, instead of tricking people into watching them!!!
My mall had a bunch of these claw machines with mameshibas (japanese beans that are also dogs), and I won a black bean and an edamame.
OOOOO A legitimate claw video LETS WATCH IT
They rig the claw machine when you get the stuffed animal, but it makes a little stop to shake the stuffed animal out of the claw.
i like the watch you won.
love your videos
Thank yooooooooooou:,)
Totally gonna use these tips, Thanks
When you win at a claw machine do you sometimes put the prize in your calw machine?
been spotting out some claw machines- there's never any licensed characters that are worth anything, and if there are they're intentionally buried in a mound
Does that machine keep playing the Toy Factory song from the 102 dalmatians ps1 game?
I watch these videos and I don't see you spending any less money than anyone else.
Just a question because I’m new but I’m very curious on what you do with all the soft/plush toys 😂💞
This is so satifying
The chill pill tho
used to be really good at these. The ones i played never allowed you multiple moves of the claw
Thanks for the tip claw craziness! :D
Cool video Trevor
I love you videos keep up the good work. P.S please reply
Thanks,I appreciate it:,)
You prob spend so much money u get things for more than they cost
I'd like to learn how to do Keymaster. I've never played one before and would like to learn the tricks and tips.

It’s like performing surgery with a drone
in the UK the machines only have one touch forward and one touch sideways and then claw drops
Those are called UP and ACROSS.
