Adjusting the difficulty of your toy crane machine is key to balancing fun and challenge. For commercial owners, the primary method is through internal settings. Locate the control panel inside the cabinet. Here, you can typically adjust the claw's grip strength and the duration it holds an item before releasing. A weaker grip and shorter hold time increase difficulty. You can also set the win probability, which determines how often the claw operates at full power. For home machines, consult your manual, as some models have a difficulty switch or software menu. Regular maintenance, like ensuring the claw is aligned and the prizes are stacked fairly, also affects gameplay. Remember, the goal is to keep the game enjoyable and rewarding for players of all skill levels.
