Do you know how a claw machine makes money?

There are a lot of cute and good-looking dolls in the crane machine, which can attract the attention of the public, and as long as you put in coins, you can catch them, one dollar at a time or use money to buy coins or something, because the price is not high.

So many people will choose to catch it for entertainment, I used to be like this, every time I saw a place with a crane machine when I went shopping, I couldn't help but catch it, and I would spend ten yuan to play every time, but I found that every time I felt like I was going to catch it, it was automatically loosened, and I felt that I could never catch it.

Main advantages: I haven't caught it since, and we think it's just a form of entertainment for pride, and if you can catch one for ten dollars, it's lucky, and many people think it's a relationship of luck and technology.

But in fact, this has been set by the merchant, and many times it is difficult to catch, so I never caught it again after I learned about it. The above is my summary of some of the relevant knowledge of catching dolls, I hope it can be helpful to everyone.

In some supermarket entertainment venues, claw machines are still very common, and usually, it is possible to catch a cute little doll for spending three or four game coins, so many people still like this kind of investment very much. There are also many people who are depressed, the cost of dolls in the crane machine is higher than the cost of one-time coins, so how do operators make money? In fact, this has a lot to do with the number of times the doll is caught.

First, the size of the ** amount. Just like the setting of the commercial street, the placement of the crane machine must also be considered as the best quantity, how many visitors a crane machine will have a day. Let's make a hypothesis based on a mall model.

If the number of people arriving at the mall is 1,000, the number of people on holidays will be set to 2,000. Not all people will catch dolls, assuming that only two percent of people are interested, that is, at least twenty people will play this game every day, as long as they do, then the merchant will definitely make money.

2. Set the threshold for in-game currency exchange. Maybe the cost of catching a doll is three game coins, but the merchant will not let you only exchange three game coins, it may be ten game coins, or twenty game coins to exchange, so that people who really want to play, will not care about the standard of exchange, if it is with twenty yuan of game currency to catch a doll, and the cost of a doll is only five yuan, then the merchant will not earn fifteen yuan.

3. Set the grabbing frequency. It just so happens that the people around me are doing this, in fact, the frequency of the doll machine clamping the doll is not random, but can be set in the background, which can be set to catch a doll ten times, catch a doll six times, and so on. Assuming that a doll costs five yuan, and the frequency of setting is not six times out of a doll, and the cost of a single doll is two yuan, then the merchant will have an income of seven yuan for a doll.

But now the business is not good, you need to talk about the cost of the venue to the shopping mall, talk about profit sharing, in fact, the crane machine is not very profitable now.

The crane machine makes money by letting people put coins, because it is difficult to catch the dolls, so they will always put coins, and merchants take advantage of people's psychology.

The doll of the crane machine is a relatively cheap kind, catch 2 yuan once, not every time you can be so lucky to catch the doll, so consumers want to catch a doll, unless they are particularly lucky, they have to invest far more than two yuan to catch it. The crane machine is generally at the intersection with a large amount, so there are many consumers.

It is through the algorithm of the machine to obtain benefits, some people catch the doll is very good is to master the method of this fit algorithm, catching the doll is actually a probability event, and there is nothing to lose if you can't catch it.

The probability of catching the doll is adjustable.

The method of clamping the crane machine is as follows:

1. Make the exit panel of the claw clamping machine, with the reserved window for the doll to fall out. The recessed card slots on both sides are used to install the PVC stub for the transmission.

2. Cut the PVC pipe to just the right length and stick it to the card groove with hot melt adhesive.

3. The retractable claw arm made of ice cream sticks and bamboo sticks, this kind of toy has been separately introduced in the past.

4. The doll clamping machine drives the telescopic movement of the claw through the principle of hydraulic transmission, and we first use a cable tie to fix the syringe and piston at the end of the claw through hot melt glue and cable tie. At this time, if the claw is pulled apart, the entry and exit of the needle piston can be adjusted.

5. The transverse plate installed on PVC is used to adjust the front and rear direction of the claw, and there is another set of claw hydraulic device to control the left and right direction movement of the claw.

The cost of making a simple crane machine is generally about 200 yuan. Claw machines are now the most popular offline game machines, and they can be seen in many shopping malls and large Canna skating parks.

It only takes one dollar at a time, and many adults and children can't help but gather around to play non-stop. But there are too many cheating machines on the side of the road, and it is basically difficult to get one. If you want to play with DIY clip dolls and don't want to waste money, it is better to make a simple doll machine by yourself.

The materials for the crane grabber are 2 PVC pipes, glass glue, toothpicks, 7 ice cream sticks, and several wide cardboards. Make the top first, make a rectangular hole in a large piece of cardboard, then make a side plate and put glass glue on the edge. To make a telescopic, prepare pointed scissors and 7 ice cream sticks.

Use pointed scissors to drill 3 holes in each of the 6 ice cream sticks. Connect the ice cream stick with a toothpick, load it with a piece of paper, and glue it to fix.

Cut off any excess toothpick heads. The finished retractor has one end of the needle tube attached to the side and the other end attached to the moving plate. In the same way for other retractors, pay attention to the height of the needle tube to allow flexible movement.

Make claws. Draw a paw shape on the cardboard and make 2 holes on each side. One hole is used to connect the piston shank and the other to connect the needle tube.

Then attach the claws to the retractor.

Make the bottom. Determine the size according to the size you made. Then make the shell, prepare 4 cardboard sheets of the same size, 2 for the sides and 1 for the front.

The front is double hole, and the side is single hole. Assemble the crane machine. Do a liquid press.

Prepare colored water and attach the tube to the needle. One end is connected to the outside of the crane machine, and the other end is connected to the retractor needle.

Introduction to crane machines.

This type of machine may not be able to catch the desired item, or it may not be able to catch the desired item or even catch nothing after being clamped, but it is possible to obtain the item for a small amount of money if you are lucky or skillful, so it is more of a game or game to provide fun than the function of selling items. In addition to general toys, the selection vending machine is not only available.

There are even alternative options such as live lobster and fish, but they often attract criticism of animal cruelty. Crane machines have taken root in the Asian market, and are very popular in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, etc.

In recent years, there are many large cities in China such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places, and they are also being introduced to small and medium-sized cities. Automatic selection vending machine crane machine This product adopts the coin method, after the coin is put in, you can control the machine to catch the doll, as long as you catch the doll is yours.

There are crane machines on almost every floor of the mall. And the crane machine I work on is attractive to catch it, everyone finds it so easy to catch will come from time to time, will continue to spend money to catch. Take a route of small profits and quick turnover, and everything set by the boss is also to make it easy to grasp.

On weekdays, the boss only arranged for me to be 7 o'clock in the evening to 9 o'clock in the evening, there were basically no people during this time period, basically no one from Monday to Thursday, and there were many people on Friday night, which was relatively busy.

2 hours from Monday to Thursday: My job is to first ** and then glue the figurines in the warehouse. Those figurines were either bought or standing, and I rolled them out and assembled them.

What is wrong with the figure and the base is very difficult to stick, and the glue often gets on the hands. I also have to remove some packaging, and some of the watches that come in must be buckled and put into the crane machine to catch them. The keychain must also be tied.

Usually I just do it for a while and play for a while, just get enough ** amount. I often finish the warehouse in one or two nights, and the rest of the night is sitting and playing on my phone.

Weekend: I don't have time to get the goods at all, because I have to deal with the problems of digging customers and non-stop**, so I usually have to get the goods right. Clean the big core every week, look at the inventory every time, and report what needs to be reported every week.

The most common problem to deal with is that the figure is stuck, and the claws are buckled on the figure to be taken down by the customer. Or some people stuff the yuan into it instead of the game currency stuck. Customers are not allowed to change the color of the toy if they want to change the figure.

There are some windows that will adjust the probability of claws when they want to change goods, and the boss will teach that our machine is to be adjusted as large as possible, and the strength of the claws must be easy to grasp. The boss will always look at the data, and if the machine only comes out two times a week, the boss will ask you to adjust the probability a little more. The data background can be seen that one needs to adjust the strength of the claw, and how much probability of falling out of one should be adjusted.

There are a few floors in the back, and the owner also enters the crane machine. Because the winter vacation is coming soon, the working hours on weekdays have become 11 o'clock-18 o'clock, because the boss is not there, it is still very free, but the warehouse has become larger, the goods have become more, and the goods have been getting goods, sticky figures, and the amount of an afternoon may only be enough for the day. During the winter vacation of New Year's Day, a person can't be busy at all at work, and he has to **, get goods, clean up, and run all over the mall to deal with customer problems, and also take express delivery and inventory.

The boss didn't want two people to work at the same time, so he resigned.

The tips for clamping the crane machine are as follows:

Tip 1: Clip the doll area selection. Each crane machine can be divided into many areas. Of all the areas, the area near the cave entrance has the highest success rate! It's close to the water.

Next to the entrance of the cave, basically as long as the clamp rock hengsan can be clamped up and rise into the air, the success rate is very high. First of all, you have to see if there are dolls with good positions around the hole of this crane machine. If not, look at other areas.

Skill 2: The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade This skill means that when you arrive at the scene of the crane machine, don't blindly start clamping. In fact, the popularity of this kind of machine is generally not high, and there are many people around the machine, and there are a lot of people playing and watching.

This is when you have to observe that if you're going to play with this machine, and the person in front of you happens to have one in front of you, then 99% of the time you can give up, unless you want to waste money.

Skill 3: It is best not to grasp the machine with few dolls First of all, this trick is for the conventional crane machine, and the size of the doll is about 20-30 cm in height and length. The oversized or extra-small ones are out of the discussion.

Tip 4: Smooth material doll carefully grasp This skill involves the problem of the doll's external materials. In fact, it is very simple, some relatively smooth fabrics, such as silk type, this kind of material itself is relatively smooth, even if the clip is clamped, considering the tightness of the clip, it may be slippery, so if you think this thing is particularly smooth, then be careful.
