I wanted to know if you`ve been banned from playing in certain spots you liked playing at?

It doesn't quite work like that, the strength of the claw machine determines weather you will get a payout. When the machine detects a payout the claw strength is lowered untill you can barely move the prize, then some guy with a girl comes to show off and spends a lot of money essentially strengthening the claw and then gives up, then you come and win the prize. It's all about machine selection! The point of Japanese claw machines is that the payout is set to very low margines eg. 1.2x which makes them often winnable, the company earns it's profits and people are happy because they get the prize. It still takes skill to win the prize but it's not that hard once you know what you are looking for, if you are a complete noob you can even ask the staff to help you win the prize (they open the machine and set the prize for easy win). It's awesome and addicting, I returned with 6 figurines when I went to Japan.

ya thats hardly true. this guy basically breaks the machines with his tricks to win. he doesnt just "come along after some guy loosened the pickle jar"@@miloszivkovic6256

also if their margin was 1.2x, they would almost lose money because guys like this who are good at the game probly pay on average 30% of retail on what they win@@miloszivkovic6256

Basically everything in that building is worth $30+ in my country 💀

@@adaon2282 ive been living in tokyo for over 5 years now and most of the crane game prices arent worth much here. If you go to surugaya, there are these kind of figures for about 500 to 1000 yen each. and they are in perfect condition

Stabbing it anyways! >:)

As if they can twll me how to win the prize is boogus lol

Each attempt is typically around 100 yen (0.67 usd), these qposkets can sell for 300-400 yen at the minimum in Japan, much higher in other countries

He has a website that he sells them on

Yeah, when I go to those places the claws cant even lift themselves.

Yeah thought the same. Prolly fake to lure in more people. Fake like they adjusted claws for the video

from what i can see. there's only so many positions they can set those bars. unless they move those white blocks they are stuck in.

It's a conspiracy. But it only entertainment.

@@Jason-gj1pu watching a few other KZfaqrs that make the rounds with crane games in Japan, I no longer feel it’s too far-fetched about this channel. It’s fun entertainment sure, but it’s also falsely showing how easy it is to “win” when it’s rigged for the video with the owners. I guess it’s still a theory of mine because I don’t have much proof, so my theory can go in the trash if you like. Lol

@_Chessa_ your theory is probably legit .but I would go further. Game centre, toy maker, patent owner, and entertainment companies which make these things so desirable all have their input. But you pay for entertainment so it continues to be provided. As long as people enjoy living peacefully I'm happy. I used to think these machines were ripoff junk, but if it makes kids happy I can see the value in them.
