Damn claw machines at Margaritaville are a huge ripoff! Kids love them but they are clearly designed to either not pick the toy up in the first place or even worse, drop it when it's 3/4 of the way up. Must have blown at least $30. This scam needs to be exposed!

If you’re still thinking about $30, you may have bigger problems.

If you’re good at throwing, just play Down The Clown a few times to rack up points for the gift shop, then let the kids play whatever for fun. This is what my husband does for our kid. You get 500 points each time you beat the bonus score.

You realize you could buy 90% of the stuff they offer at any convenience store or retail store for about a dollar, right?

You're just now realizing this and you have kids?!

Your kids are probably going to have a tough time at life if they wind up with similar intelligence levels as their father. Prayers sent.

My daughter actually won some candy and a stuff animal from one at Johnnys pizza. Couldn't believe it.
It only took 1 roll of quarters.

I went into Treasure Bay, got loaded on snow crabs, then handed four clean, new $10 bills (known in my circles as "Hamiltons") to the Roulette lady.

I was down bad mostly, chips were dwindling... but on the second to last spin, I hit inside. Then, on the tip of a friend, I put a chip on 0-00 and one of those hit on my final spin.

After tipping the "dealer" and $5 chip to my friend, I walked out to the beach with a COOL $41 in my pocket. Awwwwww, yeah!!!!

Not true. I worked with a guy that could grab something out of the claw machine on every quarter he put in. He said the key is to not grab what you want, but to grab what is available until the toy you want can be picked up. I watched him grab 7 items in a row. He was a guru at these things.
