Winning a prize from a toy crane machine is exciting, but getting it out can be tricky. The key is understanding the machine's mechanics. Once the claw grabs your prize and carries it over the drop chute, it should release automatically. However, prizes often get stuck. Don't shake the machine violently. Instead, gently rock the joystick cabinet from side to side. This can help dislodge a prize caught on the edge of the chute. If the prize falls but doesn't come out the retrieval door, check if there's a separate prize compartment or ask an attendant for assistance. For future wins, aim for prizes that are loosely packed or already tilted toward the chute, as they are easier to retrieve. Patience and gentle persuasion are your best tools for claiming your hard-won treasure.
