Wow, that was shocking and disgusting tricks used by the amusements - using duct tape to tape down the prizes so that people don't win them. Should have informed the owners or staff that you were aware of their tactics and would be taking matters further. Thank you for sharing this experience.
@samanthahardy99032 ай бұрын
Loosening and over tightening the screws on the claws in the claw machines is also another dirty trick too. Funfairs do this a lot too! That's one reason why I avoid the claw machines unless it's the ones that state "A PRIZE EVERY TIME!" which seem to be rare these days.
@pjcnet2 ай бұрын
@@samanthahardy9903 I'm not saying they all do it, but travelling funfairs can be the worst because they haven't got a long term reputation to worry about with most people visiting just once that will never know any better. Many have been known to set fruit machine pay outs to well below the 70% UK legal limit, some could be as low as 10% so virtually no-one wins, but they will still keep pretending to almost win, for instance tempt you on your last credit to see if it holds on the next go and occasionally give small pay-outs to keep you interested.

I work in an Arcade and The duct tape is definitely a breach of licencing conditions. I would report it to the local council who issue the licences. The only reason we would ever use Duct Tape in the arcade is to close off a coin mechanism if there is a problem we can't immediately fix.

WIN. As for the duct tape, I am disgusted with their dishonesty with the public. Duct taping prizes down to prevent legitimate wins is the lowest form of cheating about. When I launch my arcade in the future. I would reset the positions of the prizes in the machines daily if no one won them that day but I would NEVER ever tape them down as its technically stealing off the public. Great video though mate.
