Home > Claw vending machine
A claw vending machine is an arcade game consisting of prizes, usually plush toy s, inside a cage made of glass with a claw attached to the ceiling of the cage. The player puts coins into the machine, which then allows the player to manipulate a joystick that controls the claw for a short period of time, usually 15 or 30 seconds. The player is able to move the claw back and forth and sideways, but not up or down. At the end of that time (or earlier if the player presses a trigger button on the joystick), the claw drops down and makes a gripping attempt. The claw then moves over an opening in the corner of the cage and releases whatever it holds, if it holds anything. If the player is successful, then the prize the claw is holding is dropped into the opening and dispensed to a hatched box for pickup by the player.In general, while getting the claw to pick up a prize is relatively easy, having the claw hold the prize long enough to bring it to the opening is harder.
