Are you brave enough to try your luck at iPlay America’s crane games?
1. Watch carefully
Don’t be afraid to stand back and observe other claw-machine patrons before giving it a go. Watch their techniques. This step is crucial if you want to know the time allotted after inserting your coins (and trust us, you do).
2. Pick out your prize BEFORE starting
After you’ve established how much time you’re given to win big, keep your eye on the prize. Your time at the machine is precious, try not to waste it!
3. Enlist the help of a friend
If you can, have a friend stand toward the side of the machine. They’re able to give you directions of where to move the claw, which is especially helpful if the sight lines to your prize are blocked!
4. Keep trying
We understand the frustration that comes with the claw machines. But with that frustration also comes a lot of excitement! Keep trying, keep your eye on the prize and try out these tips!
