Win The Struggle Against Claw Machines!

posted July 28, 2008 - 9:52pm
Win The Struggle Against Claw Machines!

Claw machines can give some epic returns (50 cents for a pink platypus stuffed animal? That is like a 100x return!)...

...But too often are epic failures.

You see, claw machines are not designed to be fair. Like many other carnival/fair attractions, they are heavily interested in taking your money. As you can see demonstrated in the video below, each claw machine has two adjustable dials inside. One varies the claw's grip, while the other varies the "winning interval." Yes, they are designed to "pay out" after a certain number of failures (of course, depending on the skill of the user). This may indeed seem cheap, but you can beat the machine!

So how to get that yellow flamingo that you have wanted for 40 seconds of your life? As you will see in the video, the first step is careful observation. It is not likely that you will be able to open the machine and see what the payout interval is, but you can watch. Note when somebody wins, and how many attempts until somebody wins again. That is the interval. Now wait the noted number of times, and you play when the machine is ready to payout. Granted that you counted well and that you are relatively skilled, you should have a decent shot to get what you wish.

I hope this information helps you to impress your girlfriend, etc!

Excuse the Accusation; That's a Head-Tag Thing

You ~can~ 'hyperlink-ize' regular text, and if you do then you should put in a blank-tag; I think the admin should make it so that automatic-links ALSO open in new windows, but they know better than me. anyway, if you want 'hypertext' instead of just whatever you get when you put in an address, here's what you do: (lt)a href="http://www.siteaddress.com" target=_blank(gt)WHATEVER YOU WANT THE LINKED TEXT TO BE(lt)/a(gt) ... and you *know* that (lt) and (gt) there stand for the symbol < and >. ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of Friend-Networks like Hi-5 - About SuperBust, Watch Me

This is actually my first time on the top 10 list! Anyways, I chucked at the claw machine being the offspring of the vending machine and an arcade game. It seems true, with a little bit of slot machine stuck in there somewhere! Want to join Xomba and get paid to write?

Arcade games, and vending machines, these are the parents of the Claw! My wife seems to have the knack of winning when ever she walks up to one of these. She wins 2 or 3 sometimes even 4 times in a row.... FreeCracker4Jack Would you like to earn money writing similar articles? CLICK ME!

A bit confused

tehhaxorer - Tue, 2008-29-7 1:53 pm
Sounds like a good idea, but I am a bit confused (I have never used a blank tag before)...I didn't use any special formatting aside from just copy and pasting the URL. Am I supposed to just put that somewhere next to the URL or what? -Thanks! Want to join Xomba and get paid to write?

You Should've Put a Blank-Tag in That Link: Several Reasons ...

mythman - Tue, 2008-29-7 12:45 pm
... the reasons can be summed up in one: 'So We Don't Have to Leave Here' Not only does that make it easier for people who want to comment here, but it also increases the possibility of prosperity here for you, me, the admin and G-Money! (In case you don't know, the Blank-Tag is the text "target=_blank" (w/o quotes) in your link-HTML.) ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of Friend-Networks like Hi-5 - About SuperBust, Watch Me

I am exactly the same, which is why I looked up how to do it. Especially when I am out with my girlfriend, I cannot resist an opportunity to get something random and then brag about my skills afterwards. Want to join Xomba and get paid to write?

hermit crab post?? It's like you both are working together to corner the claw market. It's sad but true that my husband, not my kids, gets this look in his eye and has to win the mangy-looking winnie-the-pooh or the flamingo...
