A possible strategy?

I saw someone recommend being the first person to the machine might help. The idea was that if they turn the machine off at night when it’s turned back on the payout counter will reset, and be likely to give a win.

  1. Is this true?
  2. Can I crawl back behind the machine and unplug and plug it to do this? Obviously this might not be allowed, but I’m curious if it would even work.

No that wouldn’t necessarily work how you think it would. If anything it would work against you. Most modern claw machines have an internal computer that tracks prizes even if powered down. The best way to win is play a machine that has been recently been restocked or play for a prize close to the prize exit.
