    2:35 That's a clever trick on their behave! When you see a prize move up with the claw that automatically makes me want to start pumping more money into the machine.

    this was extremely disheartening but I'm glad I know now, thanks for making this! I honestly had no idea how much went into making these as difficult as they are.

    I never cared about the claw until I had a baby. Last night I won three Christmas Stuffed Animals in a row due to your videos! I also won a huge bear a few months ago! I am officially hooked! Thanks for all your great tips!

    Good job on the tutorial Allen...I hadn't seen this video before and you pointed out very interesting aspects of how these machines worked...I'll never get fooled again! (not that I've played one of these for 20 years or so...) but I'll definitely give it a try next time...thanks! 5 stars :)

    SpongeBob brought me here! Well . . . actually it was watching Squidward's anguish. I referred him to your tutorial! Now I'm off to the arcade to win an MP3 player. Knowledge equals confidence! Thanks Allen.

  • @morenomark1
    @morenomark1 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent video. These claw games are my current fascination.
    I have noticed that the machines with the wider tynes will pick up an animal in an upright position by the head, while a machine with tynes that are more closely placed is more prone to pick up animal by the butt. Is the wider-tyne machine a newer model? I have noticed that the wider-tyne version is replacing the closer-tyne model in many places recently.

    I method I thought of with the iPod ones is to try and put it near the chute and when the claw drops the item would go over the chute.

  • @rofljeff
    @rofljeff 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've went to carnivals and there are like expensive prizes at the crane machines like PSPs and Nintendo DSes. Do you think they rigged it to be like nearly impossible to get since the prizes are pretty good?

  • @GanonTEK
    @GanonTEK 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @funnylittlegirl12345 I tried one today. Has those medium sized angry birds. I picked up a piggy about 3 times and it just goes weak and drops it after a few seconds. Just like the 3rd type in the video there. I don't know if it is possible to win on that type. I hope we get the machines with the smaller angry birds. i've seen videos with them and they are easier to get.

  • @AgentWebdog
    @AgentWebdog 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Claw machines are so much fun. Another hint is that if you go to an arcade and you see a little keyring one next to a bigger one, or a UFO catcher (Two prong one) next to a bigger one, go for those. They give a prize almost every time, to encourage you to waste time/money on the bigger, rigged machine. =)

    of the 3 times i've won a claw machine, 2 was at this small privately owned restaurant, one was at wallmart, two were dolls and all were stiff-ish medium0sized creatures with vertical bodies sticking strigte up. the real trick to pick something easy to win.

  • @IndigoCat17
    @IndigoCat17 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always get the small crappy toys and never the big good quality ones.
    Either the claw doesn't clamp very well or there are none in a position that it can grab :/

    • @IndigoCat17
      @IndigoCat17 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yuppers,but I still love the game :)
      All you have to do is keep trying
      but not all at the same time because
      then you're gonna loose all your money lol

  • @slackerhp
    @slackerhp 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know a machine i play regularly whoever loads it does a poor job and sometimes i can nudge an item off the edge without even picking it up with the claw. :)

  • @ILikePieGuy112
    @ILikePieGuy112 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    there's another thing, sometimes the claw will drop at an angle, so it makes it harder to win.

    @bstunt 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Today at the movie theater, I used $5 ($1 per play) and I won 5 stuffed animal. First: Fail, Second: 3 stuff, Third: Fail, Fourth: 1stuff, Fifth: 1 stuff. Practice makes perfect, I've been doing this since I was little, and everywhere I go, and theres a claw machine, theres no questions asked, I have to look and see if I can win something. If the prizes are not positioned to win, I usually pass. I usually spend $5-$10 per game... Sometimes, I don't stop until I actually get something!

    Well ok i was close. By the way, you are very good at the claw machines and you are lucky to live in the US there are soooooooooo many many many claw machines. I live in Macedonia and believe it or not, here we have only 6 claw machines and all of them are in the capital city.
