Fun Claw - Fun Claw

I have played at almost all outlets of funclaw, here’s my take on the machines - The strength of the claw set to inconsistent, mostly weak maybe after 5 or 6 tries before a slightly strong claw but not achieving much. It’s hard to predict. Once the toy is set in unfavourable position don’t expect anyone around to reset it, just don’t waste your time. The toys even thou plenty are stacked in a tight fit position so with the weak claw strength basically don’t even bother to nudge it. Go only at the top deck which maybe is easily nudged and don’t expect to even grab it to move it to the chute. The claw can’t swing so seconds count doesn’t work here. Double tap works but with the weak claw strength basically don’t waste your time. Chute level is high, and in most cases the smaller machines have a big gap near the chute so the players have to spend fair bit of money to fill the gap before even attempting to nudge it out of the chute. Payout is very unpredictable, don’t expect to get a payout even after 30tries. (I tried more that 50 times each as an experiment on couple of machines and observe this. Luck is at play here. Used to be skill oriented a year back but seems like the trend has been adjusted. Play at your own risk. My recommendation is below - No top deck above or level with chute with toys or not as packed tightly can try at your own risk. Perhaps to tumble out. Smaller toys have a bigger chance. Their own toys might even have a slightly better chance to get than those of other Brand’s. Else you are better playing at other entertainment arcades.

got 3 plushies with $10 spent (12 tokens) at bugis, not sure why so many bad reviews but overall its great!

Played at Waterway Point. Got a keychain on 2nd try but the claw never open so stuck at midair and never drop. Called them and they asked me to insert another token and shake the joystick so the claw will open and can play another time. Why do I need to insert token again when it is your machine fault?!

My baby sister aged 10yrs old insert the $10 note, no coins receieved nor the note back. Informed the security about what happen. Few minutes later a guy came to check the machine and refuse to refund our money or coins. If your company is loosing money, put up a donation box instead beside the coin changer.

Fun Claw really used to be fun because you can actually catch some toys. Now they adjusted the power of the mechanism so much that even with $10, you couldn’t catch a single toy. The grip would release the moment it came up with the toy. Can try other options nearby like iClaw Taiwan (though catch rate not too high either) or Cow Play Cow Moo.

On really good days I can catch 2-3 toys with $10. Most of the time $10-$20 can't get me anything but I still come back all the time. ? It has become an addiction. They do change toys very often and whenever I am nearby I would walk there just to try my luck / test my skill ?. I don't dare to count how much I have spent in the past few years ?

Understood that all claw machine are rigged but in here the profitability of rigging is way too high. Spent $75 and win nothing only on two same machines thus decided to stop. Most of the claw would open halfway in mid air even after it has lifted up the toy. Spent $100 on Play United on the same night and won 10 toys (2 was FOC as every $50 change of tokens entitled you to a toy). I guess, it’s better to check on the overall rating of the claw machine place before deciding to spend your money. Nonetheless, the only good things here is the toys looks attractive. But what’s the point, if you can’t win any!

Had a great time at Fun Claw. Managed to catch a lot of items. Honestly do not understand why are there so many bad reviews about Fun Claw. Sure it's difficult to catch anything initially. But as you slowly learn the trick, it gets easier.
