HIYAAAAH

Ping pong ones are the easiest? I'd assume they were the most rigged.

Man
fuck
shit

Just buy the prizes on their own, you'll spend less money overall.

>But muh free plays
Genuinely more time and effort than just making that money normally.

ping pong are least rigged, but now they are tp-only and dont let you use your free tickets

They're not a scam, you're just too much of a brainlet for basic physics and probably fail at carnival games.

Every crane game has three tricks;
The first trick is what every normie falls for. You assume the claws have the strength to lift the prize by just grabbing it.
The second trick is something the crane game operator has set up that is out of sight or not obvious, such as a slight fish lens on the camera or using tape on a corner of the prize. But sometimes it's just as simple as needing twenty plays before the prize moves to a viable position, in which case you just wait and watch other people do the work for you.
The third trick is how to win the prize. Anyone who isn't a normie idiot should be able to figure it out after two or three plays. This involves thinking outside of the box. Stabbing the prize or the bars with the claw and using it as a poker instead of a catcher.

>They're not a scam

Is Professor Layton a scam?

>in japan
>can't get the shit
>ask lady representative for demo on how to grab shit

I actually won one of these on my first trial go, but the stipulation for free shipping was you had to have two products you won, which I wasn't gonna pay for.

It's a shame cause it was a cool Vegeta figure.

>tfw no gf to win shitty prize figures for

>he doesn't know

What a load of bull. Snagged a miku figure and got nothing.

>fell off the shelf
Still counts!

I want to get into this. Is it playable on browser or do I have to install it?

>blaming the Jews for your tiny dick

dozens of phone apps

>go to arcades in Japan
>it's all crane games and gacha
Taiko no Tatsujin is very fun though and I got demolished in Rev2 by a guy that was just sitting there practicing Dizzy combos while on his phone

Crane games and gacha are the majority but there's definitely a lot of concentrated arcade machines on the right floors. I honestly prefer western arcade selections as they have more variety

In that machine you need to throw it off the shelf, the bars aren't wide enough for the prizes to fall through. The trick is grabbing a prize so that when it lifts the prize, its center of gravity is over the bars.

I go to Round 1 in the US (now closed due to coronavirus lol) and see these Japanese style crane games there.
They just seem like a huge waste of money to me, I don't give a fuck about these generic jap plushies or DBZ figures at 9 credits a play when I can just play some fucking Project Diva or Wacca for 6.5 credits which will last a hell of a lot longer per play.

Toreba is the one most people are playing, it can be played in your browser.
toreba.net/play/

You're a lanky mither fucker

It's the same in Japanese locations that house both. These shitty crane games require tons of money to play, whereas you can get a lot of mileage out of your coin on any real arcade game.

Well thing is many Americans can logically and factually blame jews for smaller dicks because of bad circumcisions

FUCK YOU SEGA. FUCK YOU JAPAN. I SPENT A FUCKING HOUR AND A HALF TRYING TO CLEAR THIS FUCKING THING OUT AND THE SQUIRREL IS PUSHED TOO FAR AT THE BACK FOR MY CRANE TO FUCKING TOUCH. TWO NUKES WERN;T ENOUGH WE SHOULD HAVE FUCKING ENIALATED YOU

lol YOU pushed it there.

Okay, I'll give it a try. How do I f2p on this? There's free tries every now and then, I assume

>blaming japs for your retardation
>blaming jews for your small dry dick
enough about the crane game, when does the blame game end

Once you've bought approximately $10 worth of points, you'll get 2 free tickets a day that expire the next day. Other than that, they have one of those "try these other apps to get points here" systems, but the only ones that tend to give decent amounts need you to put in several days into shitty basebuilding egg timer simulators.

One daily free ticket, or two daily free tickets if you spent enough money for 10,000 points (about five plays, $10, or $2 a play but some machines very between $1.50 and $2.50).
You need at least two prizes to get free shipping.
You can also do surveys or download and play apps on your phone to grind for free TP.
Other than that, just keep an eye on catchers you're interested in to see how they're won and wait for the next opportunity to win it before wasting your free plays. I think the daily free tickets only last for 24 hours so make sure to use them before they expire.

Does Professor lie about the conditions ot its puzzles?

Okay, I'll start the grind now. Do I get a free ticket after registering a new account? I'd like to try one machine to see how responsive/how much delay this has.

Actually, sometimes yes.

You should get 5 free plays on starting a new account.

Delay varies by how many people are viewing the specific catcher and your connection. I was fucked last night as I was about to win one of those blue bootleg Gameboys when my roommate decided to start streaming AEW and their empty audience, killed my connection hard, wasted all three of my free plays. Switched my phone to data, got disconnected, and reconnected in time to watch the next guy in line win it. I was so fucking mad but there was no way my roommate could have known streaming AEW would do that to my connection with the game.

are they usable in any machine? I got into a random once and couldn't play, my game tickets are 0

Almost every machine allows free play tickets to be used, just hit the checkbox beside your ticket count and hit Start.

Some machines, notably pingpong and add-on prizes, only accept points. Also, you may only get the starting 5 plays if you created the account on a phone/tablet. I know you have to log in on one to get the daily tickets.

You get five free plays, at least when I started.

I got three figures with ping pong balls with the free tickets, use those machines.

>Enialated
Ah, the legendary Super Retard!

>no fist of the north star related stuff
Kinda disappointed. Not gonna lie.

Man, this is so fucking lame. They need to bring back local Arcades that doesn't just involve gambling.

There are plenty of neat locally owned arcades if you just search for them online
The Cincinnati area has Arcade Legacy for instance.

>all negative reviews are just "I couldn't win anything it's rigged!"

If you could review IRL crane games online then you'd see the same reviews

American crane games are literally rigged. I call Shenanigans every time for my money back the moment I see the crane opens while pulling up a prize.

A lot of "skill" games in america are rigged by an internal counter that will prevent anyone from winning until enough money has been put in since the last prize was won.
Guarantees profit.

>you will NEVER be tatsu

Jesus fucking christ

You should have seen him when they revealed that chart during KAC9.
They had the men's division play an even more difficult version and he was the only fucking person to clear it.

The quarter-muncher sitgma has completely destroyed any possibility of arcades making a comeback in the West.

Westerners are too retarded to understand that when you die in an arcade game you FUCK OFF and either go play something else or go home. In Japan, it is considered extremely rude to continue a game when you die, mostly because there's always a line behind you, especially when you're playing the latest, greatest machine. But there's also the fact that when you refuse to ever continue an arcade style game, when you DO decide to come back to play it you will improve tremendously faster than if you were to just dump quarters like a properly kiked Westy, ensuring that you'll continue to fail at the point of the game that you are clearly unprepared for.

So don't hold your breath. We'd need fucking re-education camps to TEACH people how to go to the arcade so that they can fucking enjoy properly. Or just go to Japan.

If any of this bullshit is true then why do all the Japanese crane game apps allow a person to hog a machine for hours? Being electronic they could enforce one play at a time.

Except there's no lines in the West
Literally nobody is waiting to play the game if you die

>The quarter-muncher sitgma has completely destroyed any possibility of arcades making a comeback in the West.
Round1's been doing fantastic in America though, retard.

I mean, I'm talking about proper arcade videogames, not gambling machines.

Look at a random dude playing a shmup or a beat-em-up, though. They NEVER continue. And those guys are usually extremely good.
