poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
Do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
Why, why not?
Coolest thing you've ever won?
On a random note, most selfies upset me unless the poster is showing a makeup look etc. =)
Yes
I figure it's a buck from the stage
I once picked up an ipad, then the clamp jerked hitting its corner and fell on the left side of the glass instead of the right. I didn't win siiiigh lol

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
I don't play cuz there isn't usually anything in there that I like. There's a place around here that has this game with iPads though, and you get them down by lining up this rod to push them off the rack. My bf and I must have wasted $10 on that game one night, soo addicting! (We didn't win though. :()

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
i don't because the ones near me are rigged. the little claw isn't strong enough to even grab the toys much less pick them up in the air.

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
^^ they are!!!! I swear the damn ipad fell because the claw hit its final destination, the corner!!!

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
Yep, often. I tend to find out which ones are rigged and avoid those. I used to go to this bar with a boyfriend and they had a machine there. I won a pajama teddy bear, a purple one and several others. At another one I won several stuffed lambs (gave one to a friend)and a stuffed dog.

I used to when I was younger! But I haven't seen one for years. I love stuffed animals though I'm a Hello Kitty freak.

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
I never play but my husband will while I'm shopping or any time there's a machine around. He always comes back with a toy for me, he's never spent more than $5.

How do you go abt finding the ones that are rigged? I think it is more by luck than anything that a few times I have actually managed to score smtg, & only once was it the toy I actually wanted.

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
Every god damn time I walk out of the store and have change in my pocket... They used to have a 50cent one at the Steak and Shake as well, but they upped it to do dollar!! Bastards!

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
Whirlerz you could never be my husband. You can't expect me to actually put together logical thoughts like that when I'm faced with a risk that could end in me earning something. I have also seen the claw one's where you can try to fish out lobsters, that made me sad, and thankful I am not a lobster. =(

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
I remember once being in a family restaurant as a kid and seeing the maintenance guy refilling the claw machine. My brother and I won six or seven stuffed animals - the claw never picked anything up, but it was knocking the toys over and down the chute!
It's funny how exciting that sort of thing is when you're a kid!

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
i love claw machines!!! and I have a pretty good winning streak. I usually give the prizes to my nieces.
There's an arcade near my house that has a few machines with really expensive items (designer handbags w/ authenticity certificates included, high end electronics, etc.) w/ photographs of people who've won pictured w the item, the date they won it, and how much money they spent (sometimes it goes into the 100s, but when they come out w a purse worth several thousand, it pans out). I tried it like 20x then gave up.... maybe one day!!

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
I won a lesbian porno once :P it was at my local bar lol I don't think it was a claw but something similar. I gave it to a guy friend ha.

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
Lol yeah well I mean it is a scam to a certain degree... as are all games; carnival, arcade, casino, etc. The probability of losing is super high, but it's all just for fun.

Re: poll: do you ever play the stuffed animal machines?
I like the claw machines the ones in my town have pretty awesome prizes but will I ever win nooo. The claws are so thin and I think they are definitely rigged here. I was bored at a laundry mat a few years ago and I won like ten stuffed animals one after the other and I think that is where my luck ran out sadly. Ipads weren't around then and now I see those machines and I'm just like screw you you selfish greedy claw machine bite me.
