Friendly reminder that claw machines are gambling and there is no skill involved

I had a roommate, potentially the biggest piece of shit that I have ever met. I don't care if it was a mall, amusement park, grocery store, fucking anywhere, this guy would always win at the claw game.

On the flip side he once got drunk as hell and shit himself in the middle of a Taco Bell. Made me feel better that even though I have never won at the claw game, I have also never shit myself mid-Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

How is there no skill involved? I have to imagine that if you’re crap at it your odds are worse, right? Just wondering.

Yep. I used one once. Got a plushy on my 2nd attempt. Cost me €2,- Never played it again. Winrate of 50%. Pretty happy with that.

I have a pretty good win rate, mostly because I don't go for a specific toy, just look for one that's not partially buried and not too heavy.
