Techniques That Can't Be Used In Front Of The Clerks! ! !😨😨😨

“I own all things that fall into the hole” bro is a menace and a savage

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

In America the “key” type machines from SEGA were sued for being rigged, and acting like casino machines, but I’ve never seen a hook variant like this! These actually look like great fun to play, and are obviously actually winnable too!

[@LDSkinny]

Almost all claw games in America are rigged. They have them set up so that the claw doesn't have enough tension to pick anything up until certain conditions are met (varies by machine, but the most common is after a predetermined amount of money has been earned, the claw will suddenly start working)

[@Sprikers]

@@LDSkinnythat’s not true for most. I own several arcades and my associate owns over 60+ in New England. Only a small fraction of our cranes are “payout” based. Maybe 8 of them that I can think of. We set them reasonable at around $60 and it’s filled with high-priced plush. The ridiculous thing is ALL the other cranes are genuinely skill based, and customers complain they’re “rigged” all the time, and their favorite one that they believe is skill-based is the only one that’s actually “rigged” Pretty amusing to me. It is a bit annoying to hear so many people claim cranes are rigged, when they’re clueless and it couldn’t be further from the truth. I have one customer who comes in and cleans out my machines like the guy in the video above, he’s truly skilled and a menace! I could never afford these fancy skill cranes they have in Japan with the attitudes of most American arcade-goers.

You can find the machine blueprints on the internet. You can rig the odds to anything you want

[@LDSkinny]

@cameronl1859 Back around 2010, the arcade at Mall of America in Minnesota had a Deal or No Deal game that they forgot to turn on the rigged settings for, which meant it genuinely was a "game of skill" Me and my brother had good enough visual tracking to get the jackpot every time, and we determined a full game to the jackpot took five minutes or so. I don't remember the exact math of it, but we worked out that after about an hour and a half of non stop play you'd have enough points for a PS3, and it would cost you about $100 in tokens. Anyway, we got the PS3 from a very irritated manager. Then the machine was "out of order" for a few weeks after that, and when it came back online the shell game was done in such a way that it was impossible to determine visually.

[@programaths]

They remind me of casino strategy games. If you're an expert at it, the casino still wins, just a bit less. Those games even requires a higher level license, because they are addicting by themselves (i.e. even without big gains). And of course, those games play a lot of animations when you do something nice. And they are very lucrative (take little place, is always in use). The big trick is given the player a small window to use his skills. And the second big trick is that average people suck at those 😂😂 And third trick is that average people think they are good when they get a bit of luck.😂😂 😂 But at least those gams are less of a scam that the classic cradle game.

[@perfectworldbeholder]

Japanese claw machines are so much more fun than what you find in the US. Way more skill based so it doesn't just feel like luck

[@ithraldharzul6887]

the us ones are luck, there is a set payout rate

there are some claw machines in japan that is straight up scams, worse than usa ones. i experienced them when i was just there. the bigger ones usually have decen payout rates tho

[@squidboii]

@@tauzins they prey on your hubris

[@kahnwolfe9548]

You sarcastically say that it was the best lucky bag, but, to be fair, of the lucky bags that I have seen, this is honestly one of the better ones. Worth the price to win it? Still not really. However it at least wasn't just a couple of leftover no name products that the game center was trying to get rid of.

[@CLAWMASTER_111]

At the time this movie was taken, this figure was one of the ones that had a lot of surplus figures everywhere.😂😂😂

[@gardavis]

I used to service arcade machines. Never use one in bars or big arcades because you can adjust them for all kinds of fuckery to ensure nobody ever wins. It's a scam 99% of the time. Some owners are nice but not many.

[@Troy-gy5uu]

That's typically the only places you find them.

[@gekii.]

Japan's claw machines can be won with skill and luck, in Indonesia, its just plain luck if you get the claw strong enough to pinch the plushies😢

[@netneo4038]

In Japan if you fail enough you can ask a clerk and they'll set it up in a way that you basically can't lose

[@Gestrid]

It's the same in the US. The claw machines here have a set payout rate. The machine decides when it's time for someone to win.

[@Thesakuraharona]

In America it is not even luck, most of them are rigged. Or at the very least it certainly seems that way. Cranes with pathetic strength (so even if you land a perfect grab, the item just slips out of the crane arms like butter), the one where you have to stop the light is a timing issue and I have never seen anyone win the big prize on it. The ones where you have to punch out the prize appear to be on a delay and you can never time it right to actually perfectly go through the gap.

[@NicholasDarling]

You really don't think that a machine can can be calibrated on how tight it pinches not pinching tight enough is luck? XD

[@xdonthave1xx]

Was playing a “play til you win” claw machine in the US. Was trying to win a plush of the character Huggy Wuggy from the game Poppy Playtime. It was stuck in the front corner of the machine, positioned just out of reach of the claw. I figured if I push the drop button as I was moving it towards the plush, the momentum would swing the claw over it. I even hit the inside of the glass with claw on one of the attempts, but it was play until you won a prize, and I did win that prize that day.

[@lucatuka]

Thats a normal tactic for claw machines, you need to build up swing momentum to get most of the wins

[@CamperCarl00]

The ring one was Yakuza 5 levels of claw machine bullshit.

[@pastelnerd3419]

Claw machines are slot machines, simple as that, they should be regulated the same. Any machine that spits out a random reward is a slot machine

[@ericr.w.9000]

You understand that this is the only legal form of gambling in Japan? Trade in prizes off premises for cash.

[@Wayo.]

Aw man! That Kamen Rider Black figure looked great! What do the machines say?

[@williambarnes5023]

Prize machines like this are rigged. They're partly skill (in order to win you do still have to hit the target), but they're also cheating (if the machine hasn't made enough profit to buy a replacement prize, it can't pay out). That's understandable, the vendor can't lose money on the deal giving out prizes just because you know how to work the machine well. So if you ever see the machine "slip" the prize through its claws, or twist the thread away from the hook... the machine isn't ripe yet. Let it feed on some other customers and come back later.

[@kgoblin5084]

That is utter nonsense... they don't have telepathic AI in these machines to manipulate the claw & thread based, that is just dumb. And anything you knock into the hole at any time can be claimed as a prize. The machines ARE still a scam, because of the general design of the claw (it's BAD at picking up things), & how many tries it will almost always take to win with the bad claw will exceed the cost of the prize, BUT they don't in fact utilize ghost hands or some other BS to deny you the prize at the most opportune moment... that's just STUPID.

[@UAPandFriends]

2:27 aren't you _supposed_ to click up the red clip? There's no other way.

[@hunter4876]

Bro really said "If you are going to cheat, watch me pull a fast one"

[@squidboii]

The claw games biggest scam is preying on your hubris. Knowing what is possible to win and acting on it is the best way to win. I was able to win 5 figures rather quickly on the style with a paper hook glued to the figure's box.

[@graynoita]

I’m not a big player but we have some ufo catchers local to me. My kids were with us and got hyped about them. One kid got something, I was able to get prizes for the other two on my first shot. Walked out thinking to myself “The kids think I’m cool but I’m never doing that again”. It was definitely a fluke, watching the kids go at it, the claws are rigged to only apply full pressure on certain numbered runs. No traps, no special mechanisms like tabs, rings, or elastic bands.

[@ExDiverX]

Lucky box was interesting, especially the moment when you say 4500 yen is a loss for this figures 🤣 One of this figures costs almost 6000 yen here haha

[@kevinclear4007]

I like watching how you win. Thinking outside the box kinda wins. Post more often please.

[@bligabliga]

9:12 - my memory and math may be wrong here, but i think 45 tries wouldve cost me maybe $160 at Round One some one who has been recently please correct me, if each attempt is 7 credits and i think $20 gets you 40 credits??

[@JJKMagic]

In Japan one attempt is 100 Yen, or at some machines 200 Yen, so as he said it was 4500 Yen for him which at the current conversion rate is less than 30 bucks.

[@bligabliga]

@@JJKMagic i assumed it was cheaper in Japan. but i dont think i ever got that many tries after charging my card with $40. Round One is a Japanese Entertainment center in America, so my guess are import fees or something im unaware of that ups the prices here. if i could get 45 tries from $30 id go there much more often. but now i do feel like going back so maybe ill save up for the weekend. thank you.

[@andrewpauly4783]

​@@bligabligathe claw strength that my local round one is ridiculous, we dropped 50 bucks on a day there and played a lot of normal boring arcade games, my son ended up coming home with three different claw prizes with what we had left over.

[@pawelgurdziel]

Hi, is ir true that the claw tightens every time you don't win? And losens wenn you win? Does this go for all claws? Greetings

[@simeonellinger2064]

I know in the USA, some machines have a dial with numbers. The store clerk sets the dial to a number of games played before the claw actually grabs. So there's no tightness until that winning game.

[@EthanDarknes]

In most legal places actually yes and no. Sometimes it's a random number generation or a number value that increases with loss and resets on win

[@DanakarEndeel]

Not sure why this technique can't be used as you pulled both hooks fair and square after several tries. That the Pickachu fell in too is not your fault as those clerks should have attached it more firmly instead of having it just sit on top of the prizes. Besides, how many attempts was this and how much money did you pay before you won these items? Seriously, if these clerks don't want people winning stuff they should go work somewhere else imo. 😉
