I came back today to play my first attempts at the claw machine games, after watching several Youtube videos on claw hacks and claw game tips. Those helped a lot, so I was very ready to play. I got a pink bear toy on my 1st try in that claw machine, and a Pokemon Misty keychain on another 1st try at another claw game. The key to winning is to aim for toys that are close to the chute hole, and only grab toys that are not tightly packed in. Also, don't go for round things like balls, that is harder to grab. Aim for plushies that have some sort of limbs sticking out (arms/legs/tail). You can also get a plushie to knock another plushie into the chute (hole), or grab a plushie that you know the claw will let go, but position it to roll down into the chute (this only works if there is a hill of plushies with nothing blocking the way of the fall route). I tried a cupcake one next and it failed, so I moved onto the next game since the positioning of the cupcake was too tough. Sometimes you have to wait until someone else loosens up a toy into a good position, and then you can swoop in after to grab it with the claw and win it. I tried to get a Kirby that was very close to a chute hole, then sadly discovered the claw can't reach there! So get to know the claws routes in each machine as well. Sometimes you have to go for what's easy to get, and not necessarily what you really want. Don't go for toys in the back, that will be more challenging since the claw may drop those. Then I blew the rest of my attempts (only had a few attempts since I only set a $19 limit on my entire play) on trying to nab a tightly packed Evee just for fun. I'll come back to win an Evee when I see any in a good position. Pretty easy wins if you play smart. Several people here had their toy carts filled with winnings in them, so this store is NOT difficult to at least win 1 thing. I'm a first timer and already won 2 pieces on both my first attempts. I feel bad for the Yelp reviewer who blew $200 and got nothing, so I highly advise new players to watch Youtube claw game strategies videos first. I also have a previous review about this claw game store below. read more
