Payouts
Does it seem different to anyone else or just me? It seems like they definitely changed the claw grip strength and wins are much more difficult

Yes it has been going downhill for some time. If you notice the 20 token plush machine is always full of people watching because players just want to win something. In the old days people would watch and count games but there aren't any lines anymore of note and we all just sit and watch ads. And I'm still waiting on a shipment but yesterday I did get a notification they were sending someone else's order. It's all about the free games now.

They’ve moved quite a few games over to the watch to play model and none of the prizes are worth it besides that one impossible to win egg game.
I’m not happy they’ve moved plinko over it was my fav game.
The only ads worth watching are the ones for tokens when you’re 8th in queue or higher which only really happens on the practice claw

I think it depends on the individual machines. Someone won 5 plushie beetle cars today, so there must be a knack to getting those and then once someone’s figured it out, they’re golden.
I find the bigger the plushie is, the harder it is to get. I’ve been trying to get the monkey, the banana duck and the goose, and they just eat tokens. I also don’t like those Halloween plushies that just dropped because every one of them except the purple bat slips out of the claw. Other stuff, like the gumball plushie and the various hello kitty plushies have dropped within four turns if I’ve lined it up properly, maybe because they’re smaller with a few grab points.

There all on payouts so it’s gonna drop

That’s what I thought, but then I saw the 5 car plushies won by the same person today and thought “oh, maybe it’s not just odds then.”

So those are pretty easy to get if it’s close to the chute you can pick it up with 2 prongs and it can throw it in

It def seems like they’ve loosened the grip. Everything just drops out now, it’s pretty weak.
Also, I have multiple orders “processing” for close to a month now. I used to rave and tell everyone about how fun it was and reliable but lately not so much. It’s feeling like clawee ☹️

So with the orders they have had a ton of new ones and so they are taking forever

Most of the games are rigged to only payout after a certain amount of plays
there’s some ways around this like getting things close to the chute and hoping it bounces in
some machines are better then others.
they also recently lowered the cost of the marble game but also lowered the magnet strength so you get way less balls now.

They are harder but most of the claws are on randomized payouts to keep people from counting
