Ask yr kid to claw inside and pick
Some of the local arcade don’t allow you to take the toy out yourself even when you have got it. You will need to call for them to come and open the glass to pick up the toy for you.

For the biggest claw machine, the chute door has got 2 doors. 1st door is opened when you insert your tokens. Thats for the toy to drop into the chute. It closes as soon a toy drops inside. Then the 2nd door which is forever locked will only opens until a toy drop inside. This door is the door where you open and take your toy out

Test the grip first. If it’s total no grip or those touch and go without even lifting the toy up one, you should not continue to play.

If it can lift up, then you can try to claw it towards the chute, aka hole, and hope that it drops nearer to the chute. Like that slowly drag near and hope like what I did in the video that I’ve posted just lor.
Erm, meaning play a round of two to see if the grip is good. Good continue play, no good pass?

Think got saw somewhere mentioned these machines generally are programmed to have a firmer grip in certain numbers of tries. Thus control the win rate in certain sense. Some needing more tries, some lesser tries, depending on the value of the items maybe?

If so, does the grip increase in and drop in intensity gradually? If so, then can test grip bah. If not, think harder to gauge maybe?

Yes

Yes. Some set as high as $120-150 for a toy that worth $20-30.

No. Largely depending on the machine manufacturers. That’s why many will use the dragging or bouncing method.

One free way is the watch others catch. That will gives you a gauge. Also take note that some of the claw will spin as it lowers. So aiming have to factor this in.

It depends.
1. Are the toys higher than the chute? Yes, means can grab and drag or grab and lift up then hope it drops and roll down the chute.

2. Are the walls of the chute way higher than the toys? Yes, means you have to really lift up the toy and cannot drag.

3. Is there only 1 toy for your to catch, like Japan? Japan the claw grip is confirm can lift the toy up one. So they put one toy and up to player to drag and drag it slowly to the chute. SG most of it is cannot lift up, touch and go kind. So want to drag the toy nearer to chute also difficult.

The above if you are lucky, within 3 tries is can drag down. If you wants actual catch then it is towards the 1/2 to 3/4 day. This part I leave it to you to find out.
