Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0293679A1] A crane game machine which comprises a premium article placing face (3) for putting a large number of premium articles (4) thereon, a crane (5) having a plurality of hooks (6) for grasping a premium article (4), a driving mechanism (60) for setting the crane (5) to a position on the premium article placing face (3) and for making the crane hooks (6) grasp a premium article (4) in response to a starting operation by an operator, and a grasping force changing means (70) for changing premium article grasping force of the crane hooks (6). It is difficult to gain the premium article when the premium article grasping force is adjusted to relatively small while it is easy to gain the premium article when the premium article grasping force is adjusted to relatively large. Thus, the probability of gaining the premium article can be regulated in a recreation hall or the like where the game machine is handled.
