For some, claw machines may just be a way to kill a few minutes while waiting for food at the local diner or pizza joint, but for many others, it is so much more than that.  Across the globe, people of all ages are flocking to grocery stores, mass merchants, arcades, and anywhere claw machines exist, to play, win, and add to their extensive collections (some up to 15,000 pieces!). Communities of these players have popped up online, allowing them to post their most recent haul, show off their collections, trade their winnings and learn about the newest items they gotta win next.

 

 



There are even celebrities amongst the player community, the most well-known has to be 
Arcade Matt (ArcadeMatt3765). He has nearly 1.7 million followers on his YouTube channel, where his video posts often reach nearly 100,000 views in about a week’s time. And he’s not the only one!

 

There are many other die-hard players, posting on all social channels, sharing their wins, and near misses with the claw addicted community. Here is a sample post from Instagram user 3smithsisters!
