Clawbuster — provider review
Claw machines with toys can be found in almost every shopping centre, and Clawbuster has brought their claw into online slots. As the studio’s CEO Timofey Lipskiy has explained, it all started when the team met a company that let people control real claw machines through an app and receive their prizes by post. That business turned out to be too expensive, so the mechanic was moved into online casinos.
Clawbuster was founded in 2022 in Limassol, Cyprus. Its catalogue now has 77 games: claw slots, Hold&Win, Plinko and branded games for individual casinos.

💡 How the claw works in slots
Just like in a real machine, the claw drops onto the field and grabs something — for example, scatters, multipliers or multiplier bombs. In some games the claw works in the base game, in others it only appears in the bonus.
Here are three slots that make a good introduction to the studio:
| Slot | RTP | Volatility | Hit rate | Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claw Bonanza: Gold Rush | 95% | High | 30.38% | Wins of up to 10,000x, multiplier bombs of up to x2000 |
| 3 Books of Claw | 95% | Medium-high | 12% | Three collector books with different bonuses |
| 4 Super Hot Pinatas: Hold&Win | 95% | High | Not stated | Hold&Win with four bonus pots |
Claw Bonanza: Gold Rush is an upgraded version of Claw Bonanza with cascading reels: booster symbols unlock claws, which grab multiplier bombs of up to x2000. Three scatters let you gamble for up to 20 free spins, three scatters during the bonus add another 5 spins, and the maximum win is 10,000x the bet. There are extra bets and a bonus buy.
3 Books of Claw is a fresh November 2026 release in Egyptian style, with scarabs and three collector books: one expands the reels, the second upgrades the payouts and the third adds expanding symbols in free spins. The real fun begins when the books trigger together.
4 Super Hot Pinatas: Hold&Win is a Mexican fiesta on a 5×3 grid with 25 paylines. Four pots work in the bonus: the Xtra Pot gives extra respins, the Mult Pot adds growing sticky multipliers, the Double Pot opens a second Hold&Win grid, and the Super Pot doubles the value of all coins until the end of the bonus. The bonus can be bought in a standard or a boosted version.
