The crane machine is a minor activity in the Persona series.
==Profile==
===Persona 3 FES / Portable / Reload===
Both the male and female protagonist can play a crane game at Game Panic in Paulownia Mall for ¥200 which can be used as gifts to other Social Links.
The odds of winning a prize is completely random. Some requests require the protagonist to obtain a Jack Frost Doll or a Ganesha Bank found in the crane machine.
Prize 	Description
Jack Frost Doll 	Adorable character.
Ganesha Bank (P3R only)	Piggy bank shaped like a deity.
===Persona 4 Golden===
The protagonist can play a crane game at any time and time won't pass, but he may only make five attempts per day. He is able to obtain several dolls from playing outside the Movie Theater in Okina City, which can then be used to decorate his room. The showcased doll changes on specific dates, so it is possible to miss certain dolls.
Days that end with 0, 2 and 6 allow the protagonist to play twice per attempt. Days that end with 30 are miracle days that boost his chances of getting a prize.
Every doll is based on Personas he can summon. All dolls are mainly associated with the Jack Frost family (with the exception of Neko Shogun).
Grand Prize 	Date Available
Jack Frost Doll 	June 11
Pyro Jack Doll 	July 27
Neko Shogun Doll	September 12
King Frost Doll 	November 6
Black Frost Doll	January 1
===Persona 5 / Royal===
The protagonist can play a crane game at any time, as many times as desired, and time won't pass at the Gigolo Arcade found in Akihabara. He is able to obtain several dolls from playing, which can then be used to decorate his attic in Café Leblanc. Attempting to play once costs ¥300.
The odds of winning a prize depends on the protagonist's Proficiency stat. Additionally, on the 7th, 17th and 27th days of each month, the arm will be strengthened (a poster will be attached in these cases.)ゲームセンターGiGOLO, ペルソナ5総合攻略Wiki P5攻略 Wiki*ゲームセンターGiGOLO, ペルソナ5ザ･ロイヤル総合攻略Wiki P5R攻略 Wiki*
The dolls need to be obtained in order, before being able to retrieve the next one in the queue. After obtaining a doll, a new doll will show up next week. Aside from having an expanded collection of dolls in Persona 5 Royal, the initial dates the dolls are stocked differ between the 2 games:
