How to Win at the UFO Catcher

The UFO Catcher is a arcade game very similar to the claw machine or the crane game but the instead of having 3 or 4 claw "arms" you only get 2. most people would say that it's more simple because it doesn't spin or that it's much simpler because of the two arms but that's where you're wrong. In my experience, the ufo catcher is a little more challenging than the claw machine but there are some tips that you could use.

TIP 1: Wait for it!

Ah yes... before you could actually win something from the UFO catcher with out spending a ton of money is to find something actually "gettable"  at the machine. If you have any doubts if you can catch it or not then leave it alone and let somebody else play it. its best if that someone who plays it first is a little bit dumb or has no idea what he's doing. Then if he is unsuccessful and he left something "gettable", make your move and win the damn thing.

How to win?
1: Keep spending.
2: Cry(Sobbing is much better but do NOT yell)
3: A staff will open the glass door for you. I always win this way when i was little. Japanese are indulgent to children.
*CAUTION!*
If you're not a little kid, they may call the police.
