Is this the secret to always winning at the lever slot machines?

(@ufo_brandon)

It turns out that until today we played the popular lever game wrong and it's a shame - because a lot of tokens and shekels went to us for nothing.

The successful game in which a coin is thrown into a machine in order to draw a prize by moving a lever is one of the oldest games that managed to survive well to this day.

The goal of the game operators is for us to spend more money on the game than the prizes cost, which in most cases happens because it is almost impossible to catch anything with their fragile leverage.

One guy recently uploaded a video that has gained almost 30 million views on TikTok, in which he reveals a trick to safely retrieve the toys so that the profit is guaranteed for you.

In the video that Brandon uploaded with the title "How to Win the Crane Game", he shows the steps that will help you get the doll or prize out.

He writes: "First aim the lever at the center of the doll and then press the button. After the lever descends to the doll, press the button again to grab it. If you don't press it again, you won't win it."

This is how it "works":

In the video you can see that Brandon does pull out the doll, but many of the commenters were skeptical and claimed that the video does not represent and is not suitable for all machines.

Others reported success and one of them responded: "It's not a joke, I tried it and won ten dolls."

Others claimed that the machine is built so that the crane in most cases will release the doll before it leaves the opening.

One wrote: "Only on specific machines you can press twice. In most of them, if you press the button, nothing will happen" and another added: "Most of these machines are designed to extract money from people. They don't really allow winning."

Another user wrote: "My mom worked at an arcade and basically they set a number so that for example there would be one win in every 500 tries or something like that" and another reinforced it: "I know a guy who works in this. He said that the players only manage to catch something after 30 tries, when the machine accumulated enough money".

Is winning a matter of luck or is everything addicted?

The winning rates in the claw crane machines depend on several factors, including the shape of the machine, the skill of the player, the type of machine, and the available prizes (their size, density, and structure).

According to Wikipedia, typical reasons why the player fails to lift the prize may be due to their inexperience, weakened catchers at the end of the lever, or the specific shape of the lever.

Many modern cranes actually use a computer that determines what the win rate will be according to settings set in advance by the owner of the machine, and determines that the catchers will catch the object very strongly only after a certain percentage of previous attempts.

In all modern claw crane machines, the owner of the machine is able to direct the strength with which the grippers will grip the objects and the degree of proximity of the grippers when gripping (usually this configuration can be changed by turning the screws on the mechanism or changing the potentiometers on the printed circuit of the machine).

Some machines have a feature called "two-level claw power"

This ability of the machine owners to set the strength of the lever catchers and determine the winning rates raised the question of whether these machines should be considered gambling machines in the legal sense, similar to slot machines.

In the United States, slot machines are generally exempt from the laws governing slot machines.

In Canada, on the other hand, claw crane machines are illegal unless the player is allowed to play repeatedly until they win a prize
