Practise on real, physical claw machines live from your browser. Pick the kind of machine you want to train on and we put you straight onto a free cabinet — no coins, no queue tickets, no download. Browse the catalogue below, then press Play to take the controls.
Training is the practice floor of MSA Arcade. Every machine listed below is a real, physical arcade cabinet in our gaming centre — streamed live and controlled by you, in the browser. Pick the kind of machine you want to practise on and we put you straight onto a free cabinet in that category; if it is taken, one tap moves you to the next one.
Training costs nothing: no coins to enter, no lives to spend, no limit on how long you practise. Coins and tickets still exist — you win coins in the Colosseum and spend them on avatars, and tickets come from the daily bonus — but a training grab never charges you and never pays a per-grab prize. New here? The How to Play guide walks through every machine type in detail.
Each category is a different cabinet type with its own controls and its own knack. Pick one on the Training page and the server hands you the emptiest machine it has.
The full-size claw cabinet. Free to play like the rest, and pays out bigger.

10 cabinets in this category.
Cabinets: All Star, Atlantic Treasures, Cyber Escape, Dao Discussion, Imperial Gardens, Pink Delight, Psy Rings, Smelly Swamp, Snowy Mountains, Starry LightHouse.

5 cabinets in this category.

Cabinets: Carmin Forest, Steam Zeppelin.
A claw machine full of coloured balls. Each game a winning colour is drawn at random — catch that colour to win; any other colour loses the round.
Controls: Use arrows to move, CATCH to grab. Coloured balls = different rewards.
2 cabinets in this category.
Cabinets: Catch a Green, Catch Yellow.
Real pachinko, claw-operated: the claw picks up a ball and carries it along the top of the pin board — release it and it rattles down toward the prize slot.
Controls: Horizontal movement only. Position and press CATCH to release.
2 cabinets in this category.
Cabinets: Pachinko 01, Pachinko 02.
Connect Four with a claw, despite the name: sunk balls light holes on a shared, persistent 4×4 grid, and the first player to line up four wins before the grid resets.
Controls: Move the claw, press CATCH. Lit holes persist between rounds — plan ahead!
1 cabinet in this category.
Cabinets: Bingo 01.
The claw drops your ball onto a wobbling, tilting plate with four holes — only one of them wins. Time the release as the plate moves.
Controls: Step 1: GRAB to start. Step 2: use arrows to position. Watch the hole pattern!
1 cabinet in this category.
Cabinets: Random Hole 1.
Grab a ball with the claw, then drop it so it bounces off the platform into the scoring hole. Read the angles before you release.
Controls: Move the claw with arrows, grab a ball, aim for the scoring hole.
1 cabinet in this category.
Cabinets: Rebound Game_CM_06.
Choose a category and press Train. The server picks a cabinet for you — a free one where it can, the quietest one where it cannot — and drops you into the room with the live camera feed and the controls. If somebody is already playing that machine you can wait your turn in the queue or switch to another cabinet in the same category without losing your place on the page.
Nothing is deducted when you play and nothing is credited when you win: training is for learning the machine. Achievements still track what you do, so practice counts toward your profile — and when you want the stakes back, the Colosseum pits you head-to-head against another player on the same real cabinets.
