That’s an awesome machine

Thanks, I’m glad you like it. Stay tuned because I plan to make more videos on this machine and go more in-depth on how the machine can be set different ways by showing the inside where the computer boards are and things like that. These things are really cool.

I'm dying to know if these things have sensitivity settings on them. Or if you can set the amount of money that comes in before the claw actually grabs the prize and doesn't just drop it.

[@knexcarnivalrides8054]

Yes.. the claw strength can be adjusted to weak or strong.. that’s how they get you in stores and arcades

[@knexcarnivalrides8054]

This machine only has one knob to adjust the claw strength.. but my newer machine has several settings.. the claw strength can be adjusted to weak or strong.. it can close strong by then get weak when it gets back to the top and drop the prize, or it can be set to “pay out” which means I can set the machine to let 1 out of every 5 tries be a win.. or 1 out of every 10 tries. If I set it to 1 win out if every 5 tries.. the claw will stay weak for 4 tries, and then it will strengthen on the 5th try and stay strong until a prize is won. There is a sensor in the prize chute that will detect a prize win and then the claw willl re set to weak again. It’s pretty neat how many settings it has

@@knexcarnivalrides8054 wow. Yea I knew something had to be going on, especially with the larger value prizes. They're probably set to win once every 500 tries or so. Thanks for the insight.

@Mike__P yea, with todays economy it’s almost impossible to win. Like maybe one out of every 20 or 30 plays
