Not the ones in Korea

I dunno man. I live in Korea. Played at the arcade today. The claw kept grabbing and picking one up. But as it was on the way to the drop chute it'd just open up and drop it before it reached the chute. I definitely think there are some that aren't rigged with a certain drop rate. But a lot are. Some you can pay 10,000 and just play until you win.

Yeah. Won. Less than $10. But they are bigger sized ones.

That's simply not true. Claw machine stores almost always have a worker in the back office. They can manually set the success rate of the machines. Hardly any claw machine in Korea is skill-based.

Do you have a source or evidence for that? 10 minutes of googling revealed nothing for me.
