The claw machine craze is back in Singapore. According to travel and lifestyle portal The Smart Local, there have been eight new claw machine arcades that popped up this year alone. Many are in heartland malls. To play, a user moves the claw into position by manoeuvring a joystick, before pressing a button to lower the claw onto a pile of plush toys, earphones, keychains or whatever it is that the machine offers as prizes.
