    Claw Machines

    • Claw machines are rigged, but not in the way most people think.
    • The main reason it's hard to win is that the claw machine is designed to have a strong grip only part of the time.
    • The machine's owner can fine-tune the strength of the claw beforehand so that it only has a strong grip a certain percentage of the time.
    • The owner can manually adjust the "dropping skill" to make the claw drop a prize it's grabbed before delivering it to the player after a certain number of tries.
    • The machines allow the owner to select the desired level of profit and automatically adjust the claw strength to ensure limited wins.
    • The machine's design is not about the tight packing of stuffed animals, but rather the adjustable grip strength.
    • The instructions for popular claw games reveal this closely kept secret.
