What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic interaction scripts, this claw machine system delivers authentic arcade gameplay with server-authoritative prize determination to prevent cheating. The configurable win rate system lets you balance between player satisfaction and server economy health, while the multi-machine support allows you to create arcade districts with different prize tiers. The optimization is exceptional - most players won't even notice it's running until they walk up to a machine, thanks to intelligent proximity detection and efficient resource usage.

Customization Options

Every aspect of the claw machine experience can be tailored to your server's needs. Configure entry costs ranging from free plays to high-stakes gambling, set prize pools with specific items or cash rewards, adjust claw strength and grab success rates, customize machine locations and prop models, and even trigger custom events when rare prizes are won. The flexible config system supports multiple currency types, item-based entry fees, and prize categories with individual probability weights.

Use Cases and Applications

Server owners use claw machines to enhance roleplay locations like arcades, casinos, and entertainment venues. Create exclusive VIP areas with rare prize pools, implement loyalty programs where businesses give out machine tokens, use machines as fundraising tools for in-game charities or gangs, or place them in criminal hideouts as money laundering fronts. The versatility of the prize system means you can reward anything from cosmetic collectibles to functional items like lockpicks or crafting materials.

Player Experience

Players approach a claw machine and receive a clear UI prompt showing the entry cost and potential prizes. After paying, they control the claw using intuitive directional controls, position it over their desired prize, and attempt to grab it with proper timing. Realistic physics determine whether the claw successfully grabs and lifts the prize to the delivery chute. Win or lose, players receive immediate feedback through sounds and notifications, with won prizes automatically added to their inventory or bank account based on your configuration.
