Tips & Warnings
Claw Machines are often preset to determine the number of wins and losses. If you want to better your chances for a win, spend some time recording the number of wins and losses of people playing the machine. Figure out the ratio of wins to losses so that you will know exactly when you should play that particular machine.
If you’ve suffered a string of losses, leave that machine and come back another time. Do not spend a lot of money trying to win a prize.
