Absolute con. Avoid at all costs. You will just waste your money. I bought my little Girl here today. I spent $60 on tokens. On maybe 25 times the claw had the toy in its mouth, the claw retracted and each machine clearly shakes the claw when it’s been grabbed. I noticed this across all the machines we played, no difference between prize weight or size. Also on another machine, where you stop a rotating pin that then presses down onto a clip that should dispense the item, on multiple times the pin and hammer aligned but didn’t press down all the way down to release the prize. On closer inspection you can see the prizes are tightly wedged in, past the hammer and the release. So even when you clearly have aligned correctly and even with release the price doesn’t move. I understand there has to be skill involved and mostly luck but these machines are clearly rigged to neither retrieved or dispense prizes. It’s a real shame, especially for kids. Please avoid and don’t get sucked in by the flashy lights and cute prizes. You won’t win and you’ll leave a sucker. This...

Coming from an experienced claw machine player, please don’t waste your money here 😭 Whenever you grab a prize, the machines are programmed to literally DROP THEM before they reach the chute, no matter how good of a grip you have on them. In these photos I had a solid grab on 3-4 prizes, and then the claw blatantly re-opened all the way to drop all of my prizes back into the machine. The empty claw then moved to the chute and opened again, dropping nothing in there 💀💀 This is such a clever tourist trap, your kids are totally gonna beg you to spend money here but just trust me when I say it’s a scam 😭 I spent 5 tries on this machine and I won absolutely NOTHING 😞 the prizes are super cute though !! In total I spent $10 (it’s $1 per token) and I still didn’t win...

I’m utterly shocked by the blatant scam unfolding here. Overnight, they doubled their prices without any warning or justification, and the quality of service has plummeted to an all-time low. It’s clear that the only thing they care about is squeezing every penny out of their loyal customers. Every visit leaves me feeling cheated and utterly disrespected.

This isn’t just poor business practice—it’s downright unethical. If you value your hard-earned money and expect honest, transparent service, steer clear of this place. They’re not interested in building long-term customer relationships; instead, they’re running a ruthless money grab that deserves to go out of business. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for genuine...
