An avid gamer has gone viral for sharing his foolproof trick to winning prizes from the claw machine every time.

TikTokker Brandon posted a video revealing his simple yet effective hack for getting prizes from the notoriously difficult machines by hitting the button a second time.

'You have been lied to your entire life - the secret to the claw machine,' the arcade enthusiast wrote in the clip.

He said to centre the claw over the prize you're after, hit the button to lower the crane.

Just as the claw tries to grasp the prize, he presses the same button again so it grabs the toy securely.

'If you don't press it again, you won't win,' he said in the video that has since racked up a whopping 9.2million views.

Brandon's video was inundated with comments from viewers wanting to try the gaming hack for themselves and others claiming it works every time.

'No joke I tried this and won 10,' one person claimed.

'So all these years I've been losing all this time…' another said.

'And when I tell u my jaw dropped,' commented a third.

'This 100% does work but I will say it doesn't always work mainly because you really have to have the skill and grab the prize in the right spot,' explained a fourth.

However some were sceptical with one saying this trick is only effective on some claw machines.

'This doesn't work all the time; I've never won a prize from doing this so maybe I'm doing it wrong,' they said.

'I've done this already and the result was na-ah,' another sceptic replied.
