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

I remember once when I was a little kid, I was playing a claw machine. I couldn't win. Then this lady came up and she gave me every single coin she had until I won. Turns out she was the owner. 😂

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.

and step 4, possibly get jail time for breaking store property and illegally TAKING something that was not purchased..... lmao..

Widowmaker voice line nice
Oh it's a reference
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.
@@sunnycitruss Big one.
Gabriel Schleifer, I won 4 prizes at Dave and Buster’s just from claws and I’ve had similar amounts there several times.
Those claw machines are cheating us. *_Why don't we cheat on them as payback?_*

@@dailahaggan3535 just break the glass XD
Or simply not playing them at all
Blast the glass with a 12 gauge
Because 12 gauges solve all your problems
No, you have to throw eggs at it at infinite times. Glory to Howtobasic eggs.
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.
How to win
1.put a blindfold
2.think you are the crane
3.control the controller
4.win and repeat

Did I?
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.*
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

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!

thanks for the tip. I/'m gonna break it "on accident"
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.
How to win:
Go for the medium toys that are on top.
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

I remember winning a toy from a claw machine once, but I had glass shards on my body and they were bleeding as heck.
bruh
I remember the very easy claw machine one time
It "broke down"
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...
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
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.
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.

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.

The only time I ever won a stuffed animal from a claw machine myself was when I was 8 and I got an owl at Walmart. You shoulda seen the look at everyone’s face 😂
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
Gray Wolf not all I think people are so butthurt from some of their experiences they just get rage and want everyone else to play it
Gray Wolf some people just do not know how to play it idiots
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!
“ThE cLaW” part in toy story had me dead 😂😂💯
Once in Rhyl there was a claw machine with Thomas the tank engine plushies in and my brother really wanted one and tried to get one, but it didn't pick it up. He started crying and a worker at the arcade was so nice and used the keys to get not one, but 2 Thomas the tank engine plushies for him! She was so kind!
Also, once at WizzKids this little boy had put his money into a claw machine (a win every time one) didn't get a prize and then his parents called him to go home because they didn't realise it was a winner every time one so once they left I just went straight to it and won a free dolphin plushie! 😂

Omg there not even rigged
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.
Next: it's not you your parents are rigged

Hmm not really lol
I still remember going to an arcade in 5th grade, waiting for my friends by playing for a bit. I remember this one game where you had to position it correctly to push out the prizes. I played twice, lost, felt sad and moved to get some ice cream. When I came back, these older teenagers played around with the machine, but lost and moved to walk away. I swapped, and played. I actually won a pair of headphones. The teenagers from before just gaped, completely slapped by a young child barely 11 years old winning when their group hadn't.
Still honestly the best memory I have to this day.

One time I got incredibly lucky with a Claw Machine. It was one of the candy ones, with a ton of little candy packages like mini m&ms and skittles.
So, I put in the coin, tried as usual to get a candy bag (it was a Skittles) and just as the timer was about to end, I somehow got two bags of candy?! I gave one to my brother, and I remember feeling SO happy, because I’d never gotten two pieces of candy, or ANYTHING, in a claw machine before. Has anyone else had experiences like this? I’m curious to hear your stories!

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.

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 would love for you all to check out the quarter machine where all the quarters are right on the edge. It looks like if u put in 4 quarters it would knock off alot of quarters but it never does
In my country I got 10 toys in a row, good luck? Coincidence on my 10th bday? I don’t think so
I remember one in Malaysia where the claw didn’t even reach the toys
xD
relatable
O______O
I had one where it broke literally the machine broke and it gave me all the toys
Wtf?! XD
Lololol
I won my mom a Hello Kitty from a claw machine. And it dropped just close enough to the hole to land in.
PikachuIce So you didn't get it? WELL TELL THE STAFF TO MAKE THEY'RE CLAW MACHINES BETTER BECAUSE THEY'RE PARENTS MATTER.
Me:" wins a plush from a claw machine"
Mother: I wasted a lot of money for THAT
This Video: *exists*
Animation Sins:THIS VIDEO IS RIGGED I TELL YA
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!
"Who's in charge here?.....The clawww!!"
Andrew Teague ha Toy Story reference?
Read that when it happened xD
haha my childhood
What?
Nataton3000 it’s a toy story reference dummy
This just made me ten times more grateful when my brother somehow won me a plushie out of a claw machine
Claw Machine: Drops toy
Me: *Heavy Breathing*
Palpating: Do it
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
OLD LADY ARE OP

There’s a boardwalk that has several arcades that I’ve been to.
Each arcade has a couple of these claw machines that don’t give out iPhones or plushies or toys, they give out ticket rolls. (If you have never been to an arcade before, tickets give out bigger prizes when ur done like candy, small toys, etc. The ones on this boardwalk even can sell Switchs and Xboxs!)
So one day I spent all my time at one of these ticket claw machines and ended up getting over 5k points, and the person on the counter gave me this “Are you serious? That kid just won multiple games on a rigged game” face and it was kinda funny.
It sounds better in my head probably because I have the actual memory of it
not only the grip strength problem, some machines that I played are spinning the claw while it's going down, makes it imposible to predict the position
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
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
