There's a spot in Houston's Chinatown with a big gallery of claw machines. I think my success rate was better than 50%. Even got two at once on one try. But when its $2 to play and you're winning toys that are worth less than $1...
Incidentally, they have a desk at the front where you can trade back your winning toys in bulk for bigger prizes. But they're all random dodads you could get on Temu for a few bucks each. Like, you can turn in twenty stuffed animals for a cheapo touch pad. Basically a fancy kind of Chuck'e'Cheese ticket, when considered in bulk.
But if you're looking for a dog's chew toy or a way to bloat your 2-year-old's stuffed animal war chest? Hard to beat the value in bulk.
Yeah the price to play and value of prizes makes it impossible to really come out a winner. But it’s fun!
