but also you dont need all these characters, chose a few you like and you should spend no real money. obviously if you want to get everything, you will be running low on nemo bucks
Claw machine is awful.
Igor Stating the odds/chance explicitly (as the egg coin machine does) is the only thing that the claw machine needs. It looks "weird" until you catch the pattern. People saying that this is forcing players to spend money are out of line.
also there are two categories for characters, if you noticed
could it be that "2nd prize characters" are easier to catch? you can look at videos people post to see if this may be the case
Igor I have not checked the videos, but from playing yesterday, I saw a lot of first price characters, namely the chicken and lotus. My first succesful grab was the Lime Chinchilla. I will observe this a bit on the videos.

theoldmonk i've just analyzed a video from a person i know. read here:
https://forum.partyanimals.com/d/2960-ban-this-person-on-the-forum/7507
as for character categories, it could be that second grade characters are more likely to wake up if you miss all your tries
i'll be recording my own videos, but it will be slower, because i will only use pass coins
It is not gambling but I think FOMO plays a significant role in claw/coin machines, and it can be quite addictive.
This leads to impulsive pulls in hopes of striking it lucky, but often results in a cycle of disappointment and money depletion. Once you start, it feels impossible to stop and developers is aware of that strategy… they know how to capitalize on that, benefiting from that cycle.
to be clear with you: it's "around 7 times", not always 7. from watching other people play, it seems like the last remaining characters take 8 and 9 for the last one. but also some people reported it can be 6. and it seems that on 7th try maybe the claws have tighter grip. still this doesnt affect the price too much and all characters will still be very cheap

please also dont forget about 2200 nemo bucks new levels give you and another 500 you can purchase just for one dollar from login rewards. 2700 nemo bucks with 20 free coins should be enough to get all 8 characters.
i didnt see anyone say thank you to developers for that, or for new game mode, or for 5 new characters, 3 new skin and everything else you get for free. it is very rude of you to complain about anything now

Before, yes. I need to be better about communicating my gratitude to the developers (for all the OTHER great stuff they've made). But I think part of the problem is that the devs failed to provide more information about this machine, as there is a decent amount of chance involved.
I believe what's tripped a lot of players (including me) up is that they didn't realize that there's some amount of RNG that decides if you actually get the animal, even if you grab it perfectly. (the supposed invisible wall)
I do wish they had found some kind of more...honest way of profiting, but to be fair they have put a lot of time and effort into a fairly cheap game, so they need to make more money somehow.
Igor but how good you grab only plays a certain role, because there is a chance factor to the game, so even if you grab perfectly, the game can still drop the character, if it was decided you are supposed to lose

too many people also seems to never have played claw machine in their life and dont know how much it drops. im glad they made it the way it is. the end result is that you still get a character for less than 1000 nemo bucks, so i wouldnt care if it drops it purposely. real claw machine wont be so nice to you
MrJoe I do wish they had found some kind of more...honest way of profiting
let's rephrase it that you wish there was info explaining the probability of winning

Electram I see, i like the lotus pink animal too. Good luck (maybe with silver coins you will try sometimes)! I could get the persimmon fox, i like it. After that as i followed, played in the event, i got 2-3 silver coins from the event, i used them to grab other few fruit animals, but i couldn't, they slided down out from the claws.
I wasn't so lucky as you; the only one I caught was Papaya Raccoon. I tried 7 times, and no matter how I focused on the Lotus root - it went away!
After that, I went back to Fall Guys, and I don't think I will deal with this specific event anymore... I prefer more transparent transactions to buy skins
It feels more awarded once you win from the claw machine, and it is even unique and new! It's fun to do it even if I go broke on nemobucks. The only problem is when the skin hovers over the opening and looks like it "jumps out." I'm thankful Party Animals has it where the characters jump in after you miss a few times. They even added new levels so it makes it easier to get nemobucks anyways. The claw should not be a problem
Guuys sometimes a animal wakes up and jumps out
