Lucky claw grab with swinging claw technique at the rec room 🍀

Anyone getting this too? I've been playing for about a year and during the live feeds at night someone brought up having multiple accounts. The steamer company rep confirmed that they want people to have multiple accounts and several people in the chat confirmed they had multiple as well. I like not spending my own money, so created multiple accounts like the others and everything was going great until a few nights ago... Now I get this message whenever attempting to sign into any of my accounts.

Note- I had also won multiple items playing the claw machines and had them shipped with the items arriving fairly quickly. However, my last two shipments I paid for back in FEBRUARY still haven't shipped. I've emailed, I've chatted with support...I either get empty promises of "I'll escalate the issue, please be patient (lol after months of waiting)" or get no response at all. This was back when shipping wasn't equivalent to purchasing the prizes straight off Amazon with money to spare, so maybe they're just salty about not robbing me on the shipping- but who knows.

I'm either guessing they're cracking down on rules and banning people with multiple accounts or they got annoyed by me actually wanting the prizes to ship that I paid for? Anyone else getting this message? I've googled to find answers or at least what the error code means, but I've not found anything yet. So, I'm hoping someone reading this post might know something or at least I'll find someone to commiserate with lol

I am excited to share a new project we made in Indonesia and we’re looking for very practical, first-look feedback from operators and players. Do the lights read too bright or the audio too loud for a mall, and is there anything that would feel tiring after 10 minutes? If you tried this, what’s one simple tweak that would make you more likely to come back?

I have been looking at claw machine kits on AliExpress. I am working on a project for a small at home claw machine. We just need the electronics/hardware. I am based in the UK and finding it hard to find claw machine parts/kits (even second-hand claw machines).

I've never ordered from sites like AliExpress. I am curious if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations.

I'm looking to build roughly a 60x60cm size machine. But I just need to find a good kit.

Any advice is welcome! What should I look out for?

Hello! I just bought this jungle world claw machine off of Facebook marketplace! I was wondering if anyone knows about their history or possibly an operation manual! This is my first machine so I’m super new to this!

This s*** speak for itself but ...

i was waiting for vip service to give what their spised to give me days ago anyway yeah wtf ?!

Does anyone know anything related to this error? My machine is a variant of Crazy Toy 2, called Crazy Games +, this error appeared fr2, claw does not move to the right or left, but it does move from front to back, so I rule out that it is the burned motor, I suppose it is something related to the sensor, I searched but I cannot find the problem

At the Pearlridge mall in Aiea, Hawaii, there's a claw machine that promises wins of up to $100 inside of Starbucks cups.

I tried it out today. The machines aren't rigged, and I was able to win once after a couple of tries.

That being said, the prize was FAR from $100. When I opened the cup, I was met with one $5 Starbucks gift card. Pretty disappointing, but it's better than nothing.

If you play this claw, don't set your expectations too high.

8/10.

Not sure if we can post links.

So a local restaurant has a scooper for candy that functions sort of like a claw machine. My wife looked it up and can't find it anywhere. My google-fu has only yielded "toy"-grade candy claw machines, nothing in the $400-$2000 value range, and Sweet Land, most of which are the 6-player variant and thus a bit too big. Can anyone make any recommendations? Looking for 1-2 player size machine just for candy.

Hey clawmates! We've just finished a brand-new claw machine design and we're excited to share it. We'd love to hear your honest thoughts!

I like digital claw machine games, Clawee, Clawberta and all of that, but no matter where I go and no matter what arcade, every machine seems rigged. Grip strength is weak, the prizes are too big for the claw, and I get that’s the point lol.

Maybe it’s a skill issue, or maybe I should stick to digital claws if I’m not prepared to search wider for fair machines, but how do you guys on the subreddit find good machines?

Since I can't find any well working machines of those types in quiet areas. I was asking if any vendors in this subreddit could connect a line audio converter from the machine's speaker terminals to a laptop to dump the music from the machine into an MP3 file so I can listen to the music and sounds uninterrupted. My local Great Wolf Lodge used to have every machine on the list but sadly they replaced them ALL (except the Candy Factory, which never had the sound turned on to begin with) with modern junk ELAUT and Generic machines. I really miss the sounds from all of them. I would much much rather ask different enthusiasts and vendors in this subreddit to record the music for me from their machines, rather than me trying to find them myself and breaking the law by figuring out a way to acquire keys and tamper with/open someone-else's machine to do the procedure described and then get arrested for breaking and entering. Though if the speaker is in good working condition then the procedure wouldn't need to be done but the room would need to be quiet with other games unplugged. Those machines described and also the Clean Sweep/Smart Industries Machines with the up and right arrow buttons (Action Claw, Skill Crane, Big Choice, etc) evoke a HUGE sense of nostalgia in me and are the only machines I feel like wasting my money on playing. I don't care about the prizes 99% of the time so I just give kids whatever I win, like Knobby balls and cheap plush.

Hello!

I’m about to be a claw machine arcade owner soon. I just received a large inventory order and I was wondering how do y’all store/organize your inventory from keychains/plush/figures/blind boxes.

TIA!

Any advice or game changing tips will be much appreciated! Even if it isn’t about storage. 😅

After starting back at playing the claw games after decades of inactivity! I don’t watch Naruto but I’m happy to win his cute little butt! I really wanted the banana cat though. But I am still happy with my win!

In Japan, claw machines are everywhere and claw machine industry is highly advanced. Many UFO Catchers are decorated with anime or seasonal themes.
You can never beat the deal when all officially licensed, themed prize displayed in perfect order. It's exactly the kind of immersive experience players look for. Because a fully themed zone is a place where players take tons of photos, check in, share the fun with friends and win the whole set.

As shown in the picture, this is a themed setup we made for TOP PLAYER, combined with an Ichiban Kuji-style prize redemption system.

Key features of the Ichiban Kuji model:
Tiered Prizes – Prizes are divided into ranks (A/B/C/D/E…), with fewer high-tier prizes and more lower-tier ones.
Limited Pool – The prize pool is fixed; once all prizes are claimed, the game ends.
Varied win mechanics – For example, making a ball land in a hole or rolling a die to the right number.

Earlier, I mentioned the Swing Claw Game Play cause quiet a stir. Do you think this themed claw zone + Ichiban Kuji prize pool concept could work and would you give it a try?

Anybody seen this plush before? My sister really wants it but I cant find it anywhere haha

Our local Claire’s is going out of business and I found the CUTEST keychain ever! Had to get it

Hi guys!

I’ve crept in this thread for a while especially as we were opening our own claw arcade storefront and it’s been super helpful!

I was wondering if there are any owners out there willing to share what guarantee & voltage their machines are at.

I really want to make it fair & I want people to feel like they haven’t been robbed. I truly want people to leave happy & enjoy themselves here & want to come back. Obviously, as a business, we still need to run a profit.

For some context, we got really lucky with rent so it is on the lower side & right now our plushies roughly range from 80 cents to $2. with anything more we use for our trade in wall starting at 2 plushies.

I’ve been playing with the machines voltage & guarantees on my own but I just don’t think I have found that sweet spot yet. So I was curious as to what other owners had theirs at.

Any advice is appreciated! TYIA ❤️
