When i play in japan i realise alot of experts. I mean tw also alot but japan i manage to get dbz standing toy.

I once played and spend prob 30x $1 coin. I manage to figure how to slowly inch the toy towards the end drop. Suddenly i stuck for 5 to 10 attempt no break thru. suddenly this uncle appear behind me n teach me how to do the last push.

After that i also start to walk around to look for machines e the toy stuck at last mile. Got technique 1

Seriously singapore cannot play claw machines, prize is lousy and those few imported prizes payout rate is worse than your chance of striking toto twice.

Just go Japan and play there, not saying it's easy but at least the payout rate there is reasonable and the staff is helpful if they see you struggling.

Which claw machine in Jap do u recommend

A common misperception to claw machines is that the goal is to catch the toy in one try. It is a series of steps.

I learned this from a a nice shop assistant in Japan. He literally gave me instructions for differently-shaped toys.

For example, this Mario tortoise shell would have 3 steps - first 2 steps to bring it closer to and at least 1/3 of it lying on top of the bin. Last step, don't even bother lifting, aim the center part of the claw to push the toy downwards so that it falls into the bin.

Spend more money. Later cannot catch lose face.

The bigger "branded" stores and the machines facing the streets as those have higher payouts to lure the crowds in. If you don't mind older series toys, some machines have insanely good payouts because they just want to get rid of them, easy to identify because they tend to be the cheaper ones to play as well. And of course if you really want something, just hog the machine and play slowly, staff will usually come by to help if they see you there for a long time.

The two claw type tend to be easier to win if you have some skills. The 3 claw type tend to depend more on the payout rate than skill. And of course, the more popular the merch, the harder it will be to catch, I've seen machines for popular series which are next to impossible to win as well and usually for those staff will not be as helpful, maybe just positioning it in the original position.

Avoid those on shoutengai (shopping street), as those are usually operated by individuals and the payout rate is bad and usually no staff as well.

if you really enjoy playing then i would recommend visiting stores in the suburbs rather than the city center as they are usually much bigger and seem to have endless variety.

Don’t have its meant to earn money sometime u one hit get it because those in front already spent hundreds on it so your turn to Bao Jiak … only lesson here is to try <5 times per machine …

Sometimes the toy is partly over the chute that’s when you are stuck. Continue to play or walk away. Sometimes continue to play can end up playing even more games.

Those drop token ones seem more like gambling. The cow play cow moo always give me the gambling feel as compared to timezone.
