Claw machines are rigged – here's why it's so hard to grab that stuffed animal
- joezydeco 11y agoWait until you figure out how redemption machines (those games that pay out tickets which you redeem for prizes) are set. Almost every state that allows casino gaming sets minimum payback percentages for their slot machines. Only a handful of states require minimum payouts for arcade redemption machines. I've seen machines set to pay back 10% on the dollar. Some machines will even adjust the outcome of the game to ensure the payout setting is averaged correctly.
