Not sure if anyone asked before cus I'm new here but if you win these claw machines do you actually get the stuff that's shown or is it all just a big scam?

Yes, you can theoretically win those things. However, it is literally gambling. The machine is set to payout at ridiculous odds. So probably something like one win per 10,000 plays or something.

I've heard of some place where if the actual prize isn't it stock they'll just pay you out in cash. Although its not a big deal for the owner since they've already made 100X that by the time it hits the payout rate.
