The Giant Claw Part 1

Your odds of being the giant claw machine is usually 1 in 5.  Probably even higher on certain days.  I had my friend Jason Severe taking snap shots of this.  IN the old days, the torgue on the claw was perfect for picking up baskettballs.  However, they figured out that it was perfect and loosened the claw according.  Plus, if you'll notice by the bottom picture, when the claw goes down, it just flops on it's side.  That's because it has NO internal sensor.  It actually has a timed delay of when it goes back up.

Not impossible but be prepared to lose before you win anything

The Bling Machine

Needless to say, the girls around work LOVE this one.  Some of the stuff is actually pretty cool and the watches even DO work. 

When you play this machine, you're best bet is to go for necklaces, braceletes, and open watches.  Watch the corners.  If anything is placed out of reach, that's how the machine is mostly rigged.  It's a four stage machine and at least two of them are already rigged with a loosened claw

Example of a Rigged Machine

Notice how the claw slides off the care bear?  Then see how it's progs practically slide into together.  The claw is loosened.

Claw Machine From Japan

I have yet to play this sort of claw machine.  Notice the claw has only two prongs.  I'd imagine it makes it very difficult. 

However, this claw machine seems winnable for the sole reason it's recently stuffed.  If you use the claw to PUSH the items in, that's even better.

The basketballs use to be so easy.  Now they loosened the claw and made them even impossible.

Can you tell which one is rigged?

Answer = THEY ALL ARE.

The one on the far left, the claw is slow and heavy.  I think it was broken and they never fixed it.  The one is the middle is pretty much the same.  The one on the far right has the only chance of winning.  However, the animals are stuffed within.  If you click on the picture, look for any loose animals not stuff downward.  That's the only chance.
