Off-Topic: Imagine playing penny slots with a 20 dollar bill. You'll be there for days before running out of money.

 

On-Topic: My cousin won some candy on a candy skill crane.

 

You do realize that you play until you win some candy' date=' right? So, even if he/she wouldn't have won a piece of candy the first time, he/she would've gotten to play the candy crane until he/she won some candy.

Yes, but she won it on the first try. xD

 

Not sure about the cranes in other countries' date=' but the ones here in Canada always guarantee that you get SOMETHING out of a try. So you're allowed to keep going and going. Like the [b']Energizer bunny[/b].

 

That was quite a weird reference.

Possibly. The one(s) I was/were testing had no design' date=' it was just a plain plastic tube with numbers and a light.

 

The only problem I had with testing is that I couldn't have anyone else at the same machine (4 to a machine), because that might have thrown off my calculations.

 

On an un-related note, I saw a hot girl at that arcade. I think she was observing me doing CALCULATIONS AT A FREAKING ARCADE. She was 20 or something, so it's a good thing I'll never see her again.

Yeah, we must be thinking of different games. Cyclone's three players to a unit.

I like the Crane Games >.> - I have a collection of Teddy Bears from a 2 or 3 year old machine at my local Shopping Center (Mall). Oh, and When I played the Stacker game I ended up spending around €30 on it and won a 360... When i got home and opened it the Power button was hanging off... >.> I think it was because of the drop from the top of the machine to the prize shaft at the bottom...

Ouch, that must have really sucked. I'd go back to the mall and ask for a replacement.

These things are so easy.

 

You just need to know what you can and can't get.

 

Although sometimes you get lucky. I once got a huge stuffed eagle because 2 of the claws clamped right down on his beak and dragged him across the top of the piles XD

 

Disney world's are rigged: The claw is so big they fall out.

 

The solution is to grab two items at once. They will fill the claw and allow you to get both of them in one try.

That is actually genius. Where did you come up with that idea?

Well, I noticed that the tiger I was trying to grab kept falling out of the claw, as did the things the people before me grabbed, and that the claw was oddly large for the plushies within. So, I positioned it above a cluster of things (including said tiger) and sent it down. It grabbed like 3 things rather clumsily, and dropped all but the tiger (which I actually did get) on the way there.

 

It only took a few tries to perfect getting the claw to securely grab 2 things.

 

You could probably grab even more things securely with those ones where the claws don't even close all the way. Or one huge thing, but usually those have the little ones.

 

Kind of ironic that the more they rig it, the more things I can win at once XD

That happened to me. There was a candy crane, and the crane was actually slightly bigger than the candy, but it had a large depth. I managed to get 5 small candies in one, but I have no idea how.
