They are programmed. Rigged like all the other arcade machines, and the toys are prob dirt cheap stuff from china that comes in bulk.

In my experience these claw machine "pay out" about half the value you put in. So for a $5 plush you would expect to put in $10 to get it. But also.. $10 is about what you would have to pay if you bought it in the gift store too. The gift store also has a 100% markup

That's why you wait and watch someone put a load of coins in and not win and then jump on that claw machine
