This Arcade Game is a SCAM (I have proof)

Don't feel bad. You don't suck, the game makers do.

Summary: I built a machine to win an arcade game every time that was super accurate. In doing so I accidently discovered that this arcade game is totally rigged.

Same problem with claw games. Usually the claw slips off, making you think it was close. I believe the claw rarely grabs strong enough to pick up anything.

[@jimduffy1967]

Yes claw games are totally rigged,you can set the tension on the claws but most arcade owners always set it too light so it can't grab and hold anything.

[@cactusdragon3553]

Heard they are rigged to only grip tight after a certain amount of games played.

[@Raor1820]

I read somewhere that there are laws due to taxes etc on prices that the machined wont release prices before the market value of that item has been reached . Its hard for me to ecplain exactly but tey and look it up. In conclusion yes its rigged

[@KillerCornMuffin]

It's programmed to increase strength based on the number of losses. Some even have a literal number it counts to before significantly increasing it's grip strength..

[@SmurphofChaos]

Yeah, I only won once, and that was because the claw snagged on the toy's material!

[@benpetersen9709]

I used to work in an arcade and had one of these things in it. Winning percentages are tracked weekly with the goal of paying out 25 percent in prizes of the revenue those games brought in. I had to track ticket payouts weekly and adjust. The older ones we had to adjust mechanically, but I loved these ones because it was just a matter of changing a setting on the logic board.

As a former arcade tech (albeit 20 years ago) I can confirm Cyclone can be set to payout jackpots at variable intervals and also people would stand there with a cup of tokens and just keep plunking them in. Cyclone was one of our top 3 ticket games for my entire 2 years at the arcade and I'm not surprised it still exists to this day. For the record, MOST of our non-skill based (ie not skeeball or basketball) redemption games from that time period had ways of being set to payout jackpots variably.

I was always bad at these, now i see why

[@JohmathanBSwift]

I worked as a carny , for a very short period of time. They let me go, and I was happy for that. I had to sleep at night . If you want to enjoy yourself at the State Fair , just sit at the _I Got It_ tent. Grab a beer and a sausage sandwich and get out of the sun or rain for awhile.

[@carolynmmitchell2240]

Johmathan .B. Swift what are you talking about?

[@JohmathanBSwift]

A carny is someone who works the booths, games etc at fairs . Games of chance, such as this, are very much rigged in favor of the owners of them at these fairs If you have a conscience , meaning sleep at night, you most likely will not do well as a carny. If you want to enjoy yourself, meaning not lose , then play a game called *I Got It* It's a game where someone will win each time. It's located on the midways, and generally under a tent with seats. Grab a beer and a sandwich , or whatever, and just sit back and enjoy. They let me go from my job as a carny , for I gave away a couple of the big prizes that are rigged . The big ones are rarely won. I was basically stealing money from 13 year old kids. It bothered me. So I gave a couple away. F**k Um

[@JohmathanBSwift]

*63* thumbs down/dislikes . Wonder whose those are ???

[@JohmathanBSwift]

You've been to a fair most likely . You've played the games of chance most likely too. The thread here is, " I've was always bad at these games " . My comment sheds a very brief , in agreeance . along with personal experience , reason why LTazze was bad at these games. The reason being , *there're rigged* . I was a carny . If you don't know what one is, here's a link to explain . Carny=Carnival worker ; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carny BTW . A great upload like this now has *79* dislikes. The averages a excellent though. If you want to have fun at the fair, or other places that have games like this, don't blow your money on them. Play something that you can enjoy, sit and relax . Have you ever played I Got It ?

[@wfTitus]

@@aceman0000099 It was a long time ago. If i remember right, he also lowered the amount you won so it didn't get to out of control. But it didn't change much because no one with sense trusts the game and/or didn't want to play a game that only lasts for a second.

I had come to the same conclusion about these (and similar games) years ago by using a highspeed camera and recording myself playing it over and over, only to examine the footage and find that there was no correlation to when I pushed the button vs. where the light would stop.

Its not level if youre set up to win every time and hit the maximum amount of allowable jackpots though. Plus you cant cheat when its your own rules. People can not play it though.

[@einerreklov4304]

We had something similar to that in our local arcade. Someone, nobody knows who, had unscrewed the dome so that once the thing stopped, you could place the ball in the lit spot. The arcade lost tens of thousands of tickets plus before some do-gooder narced and ended the fun.

From what people have said, winning at casinos can get you kicked. They allow you to get normal amounts of money, but winning too much is bad to them because they want to keep all of their money. At least that's what I've heard.

The Chuck E. Cheese gaming commission would like to have a word with you.

[@sabersworn]

I worked at an arcade for 5 years. A lot of the games are rigged. It obviously depends on the game, but many of them have options where you can set the payout rate. Games like Cyclone, Stacker, Keymaster, etc. Stacker and Keymaster, where you put in a very expensive prize to draw people in (Xbox, PS4, Beats, etc.), we would set a 1/1000 payout rate. So we'd always be guaranteed to make money on it. My boss even told one of my coworkers before we opened for the day, to play Stacker until he wins. He literally played the game for 1.5 hours straight, won the game, so it reset the payout, so we wouldn't have to give out a prize for another month or whatever. Arcades are scams, simple as that. I honestly thought it was just common knowledge though, I'm surprised everybody doesn't know this.

[@docgiggles130]

Firelord Azula I worked in arcades and routes for more than 20 years. You manager didn't know the game very well. The play count can be reset in a menu in less than 30 seconds. He was also a fool because players notice that nothing ever gets won and they stop playing it. Games that people see a win on get played more. It's a case of giving up some money to make a lot more.

[@docgiggles130]

Rob Yagenmyer I'm not surprised you won. It must have been an operator that understood what it takes to keep people coming back to play it again (Or one that knows they may have to show the local police the game history and prove it's not being reset all the time)

[@l00tur]

Vending tech here, can confirm this. The high traffic places get the shaft on jackpot payout. Your best bet is the low traffic places where the game is less played but the odds are better in your favor. Word spreads quickly when a game has dished out a jackpot in say, a bowling alley.

[@zsurvivalist7996]
