A compound superconducting twisted wire includes compound superconducting strands being twisted to form a twisted structure, in which each of the compound superconducting strands includes a compound superconductor part, a reinforcing part and a stabilizing part. The compound superconductor part includes compound superconducting filaments and a first matrix, the compound superconducting filaments each including a compound superconducting phase. The reinforcing part is disposed on an outer circumferential side of the compound superconductor part and includes reinforcing filaments and a second matrix. The stabilizing part is disposed on at least one side of an inner circumferential side and an outer circumferential side of the reinforcing part. A volume ratio of the reinforcing part relative to the compound superconducting strand is larger than a volume ratio of the compound superconductor part relative to the compound superconducting strand.

A claw gaming machine may comprise a cabinet, a claw assembly, prize objects, and a shooter unit. The machine may be configured to: determine an outcome of a claw game; allow an input device to control the claw assembly; end the claw game when the claw assembly does not pick up a prize object and the determined outcome is a losing outcome; cause the claw assembly to move and release the picked-up object away from the shooter unit when the claw assembly does pick-up a prize object and the determined outcome is a losing outcome, cause the claw assembly to drop the picked-up object on the shooter unit when the claw assembly picks-up the object and the determined outcome is a winning outcome; and cause a winning game presentation display when the claw assembly does not pick up a prize object and the determined outcome is a winning outcome.
