This has been common knowledge for years.

That's how my dad is... he can tell on the first try if it's a good machine or not. If he thinks it's good he can pretty much sit there and empty it.

Well, he won it for the same reason some people actually win at the slots. Timing.
FWIW, I spent a lot of money on these claw machines in my childhood, even if I didn't care about the prize. Obviously everyone knows the claw is weak is hell, and I figured the functionality of the claw was more or less rigged to a certain level based on the value of the prized, but I personally had no idea they were programmed to such a finite degree like a slot machine.

I knew this is how they did it for the games on cruise ships and in casinos where the machines are filled with cash but I didn't know this is is how it worked for stupid stuffed animals. I almost always can win those stuffed animals so long as the animals are sitting up high enough. They tend to keep you from winning by not stuffing the machine too high and to pack them in tightly.
This makes the machines much closer in nature to a slot machine, one that is set to "pay out" depending on luck and timing. Shouldn't this be considered gambling and therefore not allowed for children or to be in most public places?

The trick is to have a friend with a skinny arm that can reach up into the bin and grab shite you should have won, since the tpos is rigged.

They print more retractions than articles.

I can too. I'll just say I had a summer of unlimited tries on a couple machines at a local establishment as a teen. It's transpired into winning tons of shite for the kids at everywhere from Walmart to the old tinsel town to the new Bowling alley in Gonzales.

I worked in a bar for a while that had a claw machine. The most effective method I have seen is to use another patrons head to smash through the glass 
Bloody Bears for errrbody. The claw machine was gone the next day.

I won about 10 watches out of the one at Lazer tag in BR, when I was younger. Those idiots put rubber bands near the tips of the claw, which made them easy to get.

I've actually had the lady filling the machines ask me to stop playing or she was going to turn the machine off, because I was winning so much. It was at Walmart in Prairieville. She just finished loading the machine and was loading the machine next to it. I was winning about 2 out of 3 plays. I was just giving the prizes to kids as they passed by.
The bitch got all mad, saying I need to stop playing. I just laughed at her until my credits ran out.
