If the claw machines drop, and someone grabs a box, this means that they made it too heavy to lift and it is coded to give less strength. This in turn drops the set item. One more thing is that for every turn they have set,  gripping sets in strength like slot machines.

Well if claw machines are scamming me, how can I prevent this from happening? One way is to watch someone else and see if it spins in mid air. You might think this harmless, but the owners know science. When something is moving at a great or enough velocity, it flies out from the middle. This is why when you tie a string to a ball and spin faster, it goes away from the middle. Also, it does help that claws might or might not have slippery surfaces and bad angles.

So how do claw machines scam society? Well they have flashing lights or bright colors and give you that dopamine hit that you have not had in a while. Then they put nice , fun and knowledgeable characters. They do this so that you think “They are family friendly so they must not scam me”.
