She’s Teaching You How To Actually Win At A Claw Machine

Claw machines are a major attraction in arcades. And it’s no wonder. Who can resist the adorable colorful plushies on display in brightly lit boxes?
It’s an enticing form of entertainment because you can spend as much or as little time as you want to play it.
Many people also love the thrill of taking a chance and knowing that the toy of their choice could be within their grasp in one dexterous move.
It’s a game of luck and skill, and unfortunately, most claw machine players lack both and consistently fumble the bag, letting the prize slip from their fingers.
And then, they start the process all over again–inserting coins into the slot, maneuvering the joystick, and pressing the button–receiving the same results until they’re out of money or patience.
TikToker Lyssy Noel (@lyssynoel) is teaching you some tips and techniques so you can actually win something from a claw machine for once.
The first tip is to always go for a prize near the chute. If the claw accidentally dropped your prize, it would simply fall into the chute and right into your hands.
Secondly, aim the claw toward the smaller portion of the plushie you hope to snag. In her video, Lyssy demonstrates with a stuffed bunny from the claw machine.
“So for this bunny, for instance, I grabbed it by its lower body because the head was too big to grab. It held on a lot easier this way, and I was able to win the rabbit,” explained Lyssy.

The next tip is to use the double-tap method every time you play. When you have positioned the claw over your desired plushie, push the button, so the claw lowers for the toy.
Just as it reaches the toy, press the button again to make sure the claw fully grabs onto your prize.
Tip number four, know that every claw machine has a pay-out rate, meaning that after a certain number of plays, it is required to give you a prize.
“See if you can count how many times it takes someone to win, then you’ll know when to go on the machine and win the prize you saw,” said Lyssy.
“Every claw machine has its own settings, so it’s important to scout around you, see which ones people around you are winning.”
Next, if you ever come across a tower of plushies stacked on top of each other in a large pile, you can use the claw to knock them into the chute without having to grab them.
Finally, take note of the weight of the plushie. The lighter it is, the easier it will be to win. Heavier plushies are more likely to drop and are harder to pick up.
