Mini claw machines are relatively energy-efficient. Most standard models consume between 50 and 100 watts per hour when powered on. To put this into perspective, if a machine runs continuously for 24 hours, it would use approximately 1.2 to 2.4 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day. For a typical business running the machine 12 hours a day, the monthly energy consumption would be around 18 to 36 kWh. Based on an average commercial electricity rate, the monthly cost to power a single mini claw machine is usually very low, often between $5and$15, making it an inexpensive appliance to operate.

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.
