The Gameplay:
| Code | Function | Recommended Value | Why | |------|----------|-------------------|------| | P-01 | Claw close time | 2.5 – 3.0 seconds | Less = no grab; More = stalls motor | | P-02 | Payout mode | 0 (Skill) or 1 (Random) | "Skill" = every grab full strength. "Random" = variable. | | P-03 | Payout percentage (random mode only) | 15 – 25 | Represents % of strong grabs. | | P-04 | Game timer (seconds per play) | 20 – 30 | Too long = low turnover. | | P-05 | Ticket payout per win | 1 – 5 | Only for ticket models. | | P-06 | Claw open delay at home position | 0.5 sec | Prevents prizes from dropping on return. | toy taxi claw machine manual
