.Frostpaw Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 My parents and family members have always told me that they are rigged, and that you never can win anything. Today, I went to my friend's B-Day party and played the Skill Crane around 6-10 times. I won 4 times and got a stuffed Fred-Fred-Burger, A stuffed purple frog, a stuffed pink Chiwawa, and a stuffed dalmation. Overall, I think I did pretty good for my first 6-10 tries for around 8 years. Discuss the skill crane and any times that you actually won something out of one.

Willieh Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Claw Machines aren't rigged so that you won't win. They're rigged so that you won't win anything good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juuzou Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 there is a level of skill to it, and you need two people to get a good accuracy. one spots where to go, and the other presses the button a little off-set from the wanted prize. since the crane is set to pick up a certain amount of time after the object is hit, to an unfair extent, if you hit it on the side, it falls sideways and takes longer to come up, hence grabbing the item at the right time. i saw it work once =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be able to do that quickly, as it is right in front of me, and I have a webcam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacoby746 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Once at Dave & Busters, I was playing the claw machine. My mom said that I could never win anything. Right when she said that, I won a gold chain out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I love the skill cranes. this one time I saw this pokemon and wanted it really bad and ended up putting a lot of money in the thing. On my last try I just grab it on the edge and i'm like :(. I got it :) I find that happens a lot when you grab it from a way you'd think you'd never get it, it's then that you DO get it.

Zimiri of the Muse Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 i got a basketball at dave and busters. also you are thinking of the stacker game. it is rigged to be winnable every 1-1000 tries. owner can by upgrade to make it 1-10,000. even if you do get it on the thousandth time your still not guarentied to win. how do you think they afford to put in i-pods and such.

Dark Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Played twice. Lost the first time. Second time I won a Pikachu pillow. o_O On another note, you know those stacker games where you can win a Wii and PSP and cell phones and crap? At Dave & Busters, someone spent 200 bucks on that stacker game and finally won a Wii. He made a 50 dollar profit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
