Yes, this game in fact is a scam – Claw Machine Game Toreba Live! Review

By using dirty tricks to make prizes near impossible to win such as using rubber rods to prevent prizes from movie barely a micro centimeter when stabbed or picked up by the claw, “luck” based claw drops that drop the prize right before the hole forcing players to try to stack prizes on each other to *possibly* get a prize to fall inside the hole and numerous other dirty methods, this game’s pay out to win ratio is abysmal, with the average play costing about a dollar or more, you can watch people even try to win a small keychain for between 20-50$ on average in total plays, people say you “just have to be patient” but here’s the thing, you only win off of tens to hundreds of dollars of other people’s grief. This game is cool in concept, but down right scummy in practice, right down to its staff. Don’t expect them to ship your prize for a week or two, and especially don’t ask them if they shipped the prize already and you think you didn’t get an email, you get a real nice email about “rushing them” and how “emailing them will not make them work faster” when you gave them the benefit of the doubt. Total scam and I hope that some day someone will make a claw machine game that actually represents how fun and rewarding Japanese claw machines actually are.
