OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
Won the only iPhone in a claw machine full of pugs, opened the iPhone box, there’s a pug in it.
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

level 4
Not to be a downer but the vast majority of these videos are from people who own the machines. They control the rate of pickup and the prizes.
level 5
I remember watching some YouTube channel of a guy who claimed to find a hack in the games at some place. He’d show how to do it and then get so many tickets to win an Xbox, camera, whatever other expensive prize. These videos had millions of views and no doubt many other people went to this place to try their luck with the games.
Turned out the videos were from the owner who only made it look like his random cheats won him the big prizes. It was a genius marketing strategy, if not a bit shady.

I’m pretty sure when there are valuable prizes like these in arcades the boxes don’t actually have the items in them to prevent people from stealing - I think you usually have to bring the box to the counter or something similar.

my mom was a dumpster diver and she would probably enjoy watching it just to see what other people can find tbh. she's honestly found some cool stuff

Yeah, I get the appeal of dumpster diving, but probably would like it just for tech related stuff, not food. But who would watch th... wait, did I just create the next micro niche? Dumpster diving at an Apple shop! Brb, just making some YouTube tech dumpster dives and becoming a streamer-millionaire for the micro niche of broken and/or nature loving tech-enthusiasts! 💰
level 8
I would assume they would get charged a lot of money if they just threw their electronic waste in the dumpster. They make companies like Apple pretend they care about the environment and sort their e-waste.
E: and ik some companies destroy their product before throwing it out. (Look up gamestop dumpster dives)

Apparently part of it is claiming you got kicked out of the arcade. I forgot who made a video about it but it was either Gus Johnson or Drew Golden.
These people pretend to win to the point that the arcade throws them out for winning too much.

My uncle owned 14 of these machines in the early 90s, the old analog versions. He had them at bowling alleys, restaurants and bars. The property owner got a cut of the earnings. As a kid I'd visit them during the summers and help him on his route every Saturday. He had 3 different bags of prizes in his trunk, depending on the location he was servicing. One was a dive bar that he wouldn't let me help with, it was full of naughty prizes, i peeked in the bag. The machines all had several screws to adjust the depth of claw drop, when the claw closed, and how much tension was on the claw.
He showed me how you set the tension perfect so that the claw gripped the prizes just enough to be possible to win, but with a chance of dropping. Some places had multiple machines, and you could tell some owners packed the prizes in tight, making them hard to extract, or made the claw so weak it couldn't grip a toy. On those machines, a kid would spend a quarter, realize its a waste, and move on.
Nowadays the machines are digital, and can variably change tension to prevent winning streaks. I think they are too sophisticated to leave an honest chance of winning.
level 3
I was wondering how far I would have to scroll before I saw someone point this out. Nice job.
level 3
The box even moves, in the first shot, the phone is near the middle, and then when the claw picks it up the phone is near the front.

There are also YouTube channels of adult that buy the machines to do the same thing. Occasionally there will be the odd one where they buy them to practice and do videos of them being thrown out of arcades for cleaning them out.

I'm pretty you haven't thought this through.
The employee can just walk to the machine and see that the box is still inside it, in which case they know yours is... a personal box.

There's almost always more than one iphone in those things dude lmao. There's usually 2-3 or more plus watches and gift cards and other shittier items.

I’m sure employees know how to count.
And I’m sure that they have other measures to prevent fraud, like perhaps a piece of paper with a code inside that simply proves it’s from the claw machine

The box will have the serial number which can be compared to the device, no additional measures needed.

Former walmart drone here. We don't really care, we will just say no and get out. We don't report fake coupons either. The only thing they care about is shop lifting. Getting authorities involved would interrupt normal work flow and Mr. Walton's ghost is really strict about that kind of thing.

I still remember one where the animals were actually stapled to the floor of the machine. I was kicked out of the arcade when they saw me taking pictures.
level 8
Depend on where you are, local prosecutor or gambling authority most likely.
level 8
These machines typically have to be certified every once in a while, the claw can have variable gripping force and the machines usually have varied acceleration when the claw finally gets up, i think it is usually done by some gaming/gambling agency, and i bet you could call up senators, house reps states attorneys, ect and they would point you in the right direction.

level 8
State police, AG’s office or state gaming board if your state has one, although they’re typically more focused on illegal gambling, ie actual gambling machines that aren’t approved and taxed by the state, or “entertainment” machines that pay out under the table (exchange tickets or tokens for cash). They probably wouldn’t pursue a case where all that was on the line was a stuffed animal or something unless they were looking to make a point.

Some arcades just do the scummiest shit to screw people over. Even when the machine is designed to screw people over more often than not.

Arcades can set the payout rate in the machine, if they wanted to make it impossible to win there's a much easier way to do it than that.
level 4
I'll never forget this bs rigged claw machine. Went down 25% of the way, contacted, and rose back up. Fucking Cici's Pizza man.

From what I’ve read in the past they keep those boxes empty inside the machine and you have to go to the managers to get your prize.

Also, the position of the box moves. It much further back in the case when he first shows it.

Notice how there's no reflection of people and he's just able to set up a camera.

level 2
They usually don't have the devices in them. You're supposed to talk to the staff.
If they did, the added weight would make it even more impossible to win -- on the other hand, a claw capable of lifting the device box would make it far too easy to win the stuffed animals.
level 3
From an AMA or askReddit a few years ago, that's apparently not quite how it works. Each time you play it decides how much force it will use to 'grab' (the range and frequency set by the operator).
That odds that the force is just barely enough to pick up a prize is used to determine profitability of the machine. Most of the time it'll never be enough to pick up the high value prizes (or even any prize), and the few times it is you still have to get it right.
level 5
Because they can dismiss it as a game of skill. All the programming shit is deniable and happens under the hood, I'd imagine.
level 6
Most arcade games have internal difficulty settings. Crane games have a randomizer for pressure. Timing based games like the ones where you stop the light only let you win 1/x number of times. Even non-prize games have settings. For example, House of The Dead you can change how many lives someone starts with, or the max they can have. In Mortal Kombat you can change the 1 player mode difficulty. On the hardest setting Kintaro (one of the bosses) is the first person you face (instead of second to last).

There are a lot of things like that. Hell just go down the quarter isle at a fair.

You didn’t see the phone move positions in the machine? It’s fake.

The boxes are usually empty in those machines anyway, if you win one you'd have to take it to a kiosk and they'll replace it with a real one, it's to stop people breaking the machines and pocketing all the expensive prizes, as well as to prevent them being damaged when they fall into the prize tray.
level 2
It’s not real, that guy has bought a machine and set it up. There’s YouTube channels that make a living of dumb kids pretending they’re winning big ticket items on these machines.

The main giveaway for me was that the grapple had way too much strength in it.
They purposely make them too weak to even hold a snickers bar
level 2
It’s worse. They make the strength of the claw adjust randomly each play. These machines are sometimes considered gambling because not only do you need to be skilled to line up the claw, you also need to be lucky enough that the claw strength will be strong on that game.
You can align perfectly every time, but if you don’t have the luck of the claw you lose.

False advertisement is illegal if I remember correctly. Someone should get a fine/ be arrested for that

They’re advertising a phone that you can pay 2 euro (?) to have a chance to win. I know they’re rigged anyways to drop whatever item you get, but if I manage to pick up the phone case, I expect to turn it in to the front desk and win that phone. That’s what I put my money in for, and I’m not getting what I should reasonably expect to get

In the arcades i play at, usually they have an empty box and you redeem it at the front desk. To stop people breaking and stealing all the expensive prizes
level 1
I worked in an arcade for 2 years. The stuff we put in those machines were absolute junk if they something other than a plush doll.
Half the watches we got would be broken. And I'm not even exaggerating.
And the claws grab is so weak I was surprised anyone could get anything out.
level 1
Now I know to avoid those in all the claw games I play. Too many times the item is too heavy and the claw just drops it. Figured that would happen if there was an actual phone in the box.

thats honestly hilarious; i would do that if i had a machine.

Prettymuch every claw machine video on the internet is fake.
These machines have settings for claw strength. If you own one, you can just turn that up and grab everything.
Realize how this guy is completely alone? This is probably his basement.
level 1
This is clearly an act of fraudulent behaviour by the owner of these machines.
I'd sue him.
