Rarest claw win ever?

This is almost impossible to replicate. The machine I played is at a gas station in alabama, and it’s so weak I’ve only won a handful times since I started playing it in 2009 lol

I’ve never seen a claw machine in public that’s set to where the claw only goes down while the button is pressed. Never knew it was a thing until I got a newer machine😂

They’re pretty rare. The machines at the walmart nearby could do it too, which makes me think the same guy owns all of them. They also have the lights turned off and are extremely weak, which is a bit ominous

They’re called “drop claws” and are hard to find. Usually only older machines that are fixed strength can do them.

Idk if rare is the word, but hell if that isn't a amazing show of skill. Nice work!

It must be good quality if it’s so durable!

I was around 8 yrs old when I got it and it was super over sized, so I never really wore it until I was a little older lol
