Felix Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 There are a few techniques to winning on them but you need patience and a clipboard to pull them off. It also depends on what kind of crane it is and what prizes there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second time I won a Pikachu pillow. o_O On another note' date=' 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[/quote'] stackers is a one in eight hundred chance of getting something. if you lose when you could have won, it resets. i dun think so then you're an idiot >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Frostpaw Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Only if you give up at the minor prize level. And those prizes are terrible, so you're better off taking a chance at possibly winning a major prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Like I said, some dude spent 200 dollars and won a Wii. It takes a lot of money to win, and your prizes usually won't give you much profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Berserker- Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I played the crane twice in my entire life. I tried to play a third time but it didn't worked and I lost my coin. The prizes are bad in those machines, but in my country, you can win things like cellphones and ps2 if you play this game about throwing rings.

Around here, you can only get stuffed toys, or GIANT stuffed toys. One time, at an amusement park, I played one of the watergun games and won a stuffed Shadow the Hedgehog. I was so happy!

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 The amusement park that opens once a year in Toronto has 80% prize games and 20% rides and everything else. They really try to emphasize games where you totally lose all your money at. They always try to clearly explain all the rules and the stuff to you, but it's all a lie. After you get the lowest prize, you have to get like five of those just to get the medium one, and then 10 of those to get the large. By then, you end up wasting like $50+ on a single game, just for an okay-sized animal. The only way to get the huge ones very easily would be to play the extremely hard ones, which you really need skill or luck to win at. And the easy games where you would have a chance at winning the big prizes, the prizes aren't even useful for you. The people who set up the amusement park really has everything thought out from top to bottom for the biggest revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the ring toss game when I went to New Jersey (Six Flags). By the time I won a BIG Patrick stuffed animal, I spent $20. I could have bought that at a store for $9.99.

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 What's also smart is, they only open it for a couple of days each year, because they know people will get bored with it after a while. It's such a common place to go to, it's like a pasttime. People just go there regardless of how crappy it becomes yearly. It's really sad. I end up wasting lots of money on those games. And the arcade is so small. It's this small tent. Honestly, a tent. With like, DDR, some pinball machines, and more crane machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I remember I played pinball constatly for an hour, without losing, lost one ball (had two left), played for another 15 minutes, lost another ball (one left now), played for about 20 minutes after that and then lost. That was an hour and 35 minutes of constant pinball. I hit 2nd place and won over 2500 tickets. I spent it on candy. :] EDIT: Being serious, it took 5 minutes for all the tickets to come out. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Lol, the only pinball machines that give tickets would be in Chucky Cheeses. Ew. There IS no prize booth in any amusement park. You just play for "fun." I remember back when I was like, six, that my dad and I didn't use the tickets for anything, because we didn't know English much, and we didn't know what the tickets were for. We'd collect like thousands, then just throw it out in the garbage can. Rofl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I won the jackpot on the Cyclone game (where you stop the light as it spins around) and got like 900 tickets. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I won the jackpot on the Cyclone game (where you stop the light as it spins around) and got like 900 tickets. :3 ell o ell I had to do a research assignment on that for extra credit. My science teacher had like 500 Chuck E. Cheeses tokens, and he gave me all of them and told me to experiment on the jackpot (since I have the best reaction time/hand-eye coordination in the school). The rate of jackpot decreases when the jackpot get's higher (since some part of it is computer generated). I won 2 jackpots (50 tickets each) in a row, and failed to win a 450 jackpot blowing 74 tokens on it. I won on the 75th one. I used ALL 500 tokens, had to sit at Chuck E. Cheeses with a clipboard and pen (so many people laughed), and right down results. I was there for quite some time. In the end, I used all my tickets (5500+ / average of 11 tickets per token) and bought a laser pointer and a stuffed animal (dolphin) which I got to keep. The extra credit brought my grade from a 92 to a 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
