Precision is vital for collecting prizes (Image via Roblox)

The core gameplay of Roblox Tokyo Claw Machine involves getting prizes from the arcade machines and expanding your collection. Despite its simplistic gameplay, it can be extremely challenging. Claws are of different shapes, sizes, and speeds, thereby requiring pinpoint precision and patience from the operators.

To use a claw machine, use the joystick on the left to position it and then press the right button to send it down. You must carefully align the claw with the item below it to maximize the chances of obtaining it.

Successfully winning the claw machine games gets you Coins along with the prize. You can use Coins to access machines with rarer, much-coveted prizes.
