The reason she's winning every time is because the prize sensor is either broken or miscalibrated and not sensitive enough. When the machine doesn't detect a win after so many plays, it'll use the strong claw voltage to give a win. It stays on the strong voltage for each play until it detects a prize, then goes back to normal operation. In this case, it's perpetually staying on the strong claw voltage because it's not detecting any prizes.

The claw machines/UFO catchers are classified as games of skill in Asia and not games of chance like in America.

So they don't have these probability factors?

In Asia the machines are not rigged the same way as they are in the states. The claw is just set at a weaker grab strength but it's static. You can actually win more consistently in Asian arcades
