Many common issues with mini claw machines can be fixed with some basic troubleshooting. ​Always unplug the machine before attempting any repairs.​

​

• ​Machine Won't Turn On:​​ Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and the wall outlet. Verify the outlet is working by testing it with another device.

•  

• ​Claw is Not Moving or is Stuck:​​ The most common cause is a jammed prize. Carefully open the front glass or door and remove any prizes blocking the claw's path. Also, check for any obvious obstructions in the gears or rails.

•  

• ​Claw is Weak and Won't Grab:​​ The grip strength may need adjustment. Many machines have a screw or a setting in the internal menu to adjust the claw's power. Consult your user manual for specific instructions. The claw pads might also be worn out and need replacement.

•  

• ​Buttons or Joystick Not Working:​​ This could be due to a loose internal connection. If you are comfortable, you can open the control panel to check for disconnected wires. Otherwise, contact the supplier for technical support or professional repair.

  For complex electrical issues, it's always best to consult the manufacturer or a qualified technician.

Winning at a mini claw machine is a combination of strategy and skill. Here are some effective tips:

• ​Observe First:​​ Watch others play to gauge the claw's strength and how it releases prizes.

•  

• ​Choose Easy Targets:​​ Aim for prizes that are loose, not tangled, and located close to the chute. The best targets are often light, small items that are easy to grip.

•  

• ​Master the Controls:​​ Use smooth, deliberate movements with the joystick. Avoid jerky motions.

•  

• ​Position the Claw Perfectly:​​ Center the claw directly over your target before dropping. The goal is to get the claws around the prize evenly for a better grip.

•  

• ​Aim for Specific Parts:​​ Instead of trying to grab a large prize in the center, target a specific, grippable part, like a limb on a stuffed animal or the edge of a box.

•  

• ​Understand the Mechanics:​​ Remember that most machines are set to have a "strong" grip only occasionally. Your goal is to set up the perfect grab for when that strong grip cycle occurs.

The primary disadvantages and risks for a trampoline park business include:

• Higher Risk of Injury: Trampoline parks, by their nature, carry a higher risk of injury (e.g., fractures, sprains) compared to many other family entertainment options, leading to higher insurance costs and potential liability.
• High Initial Investment: Significant upfront capital is required for the facility, equipment, and safety padding.
• Operating Costs: High ongoing costs for safety maintenance, regular equipment inspections, liability insurance, and trained staff (court monitors/referees).
• Perceived Risk by Customers/Landlords: The public perception of injury risk can deter some customers, and some commercial landlords may be hesitant to lease space to a high-liability business.
