Well, according to some patents I found (but not necessarily for this)…and as we know from the rules, it does drop it intentionally. However, it’s in a casino, so it’s not cheating.
“Display for the entertainment and excitement of the player.”
What’s that? You can’t use the verbiage, “To trick,” in a patent?

you arent wrong
paging Zcore to tell us how these machines most likely dont have these settings allowed
OH and the main thing - most of the laws i have read always include that main caveat - whereas they can deviate from the laws "if stated in the rules" ... ill try to find a real legal example of what i mean when im not at work
The game has a provision for awarding the win even if the claw fails to deliver a ball to the winning area.
What happens if a round is supposed to be a loss but a malfunction causes the ball to drop into the winning area by mistake?
Quote: sabreHere's food for thought. We know the claw/ball thing is just for show and that the game decides whether you win or lose the moment you make the wager.

I was thinking about that.
From this patent or a substantially similar patent, I gathered that the machine communicates to the claw that the ball is supposed to be dropped on a play that has been determined to lose.
It makes me wonder when in the process that takes place and if there would be some way to cause that communication not to happen. That would almost certainly be illegal, of course, so I would obviously not recommend such a course of action, but it does have me curious.
To answer your question, the only way to know would be for a ball to make it to the winning area and the player NOT get paid. Any ball that makes it and the player does get paid would have to be assumed that was supposed to happen.
Thank you for sharing that video!
I guess the moral of the story is: If it’s a game, it probably cheats.
