Whatever the type, one should avoid those machines like the plague because they are nothing but coin suckers. Though deceptively easy, your chances to get one of those cute stuffed toys (unless you are blessed with beginner’s luck) are close to naught. It’s not by chance that revenues from UFO Catchers can be as much as 40 percent of all game revenues at arcades in Japan.
Fun aside: A famous American death-metal vocalist, nom-de-plume "Corpsegrinder" from the band Cannibal Corpse, has made an additional name for himself as a top-tier expert at playing "claw machines"; specifically those at a large retail chain called "Target", which he's encountered at many cities the band tours through. He's a self-proclaimed "Target Dad", an amusing foil to his terrifying onstage persona; + extremely good at extracting prizes from the machines (which he then gives to kids or donates to charities).
