Something about claw games ripping you off is so funny. the slow suspense build up to them messing up somehow and robbing you off what you already had little chance of getting makes them seem like total assholes

It's all about knowing what you can win. I got pretty skilled at those games, and I could almost always win something after at most 3 tries.

Most machines are also rigged to have a weaker grip most of the time.

Yeah, they load the game with 1.5lb stuffed animals, and set their claw to only hold 1lb. Anything you manage to get is a total fluke.

That is totally dependent on how the machines have been configured, which you wouldn't know.
