How To Win on the Keymaster Arcade Game
Ask anyone that grew up in the late-1970s/early-1980s-the arcade kids-and
they’ll say that the greatest arcade games of all time are Pac-Man, Centipede,
Defender, Donkey Kong, Asteroids or Galaga. Today's kids might give a different answer, though. No longer just about amusement, today’s arcade games are all about instant prize redemption. Instead of trying to get the highest score on a machine, today’s kids are gravitating toward arcade games that reward players with a high dollar prize. The amusement-soaked days of Pac-Man are now gone. Walk into an arcade today and you’ll see people gathered around Keymaster.
Appearing in 2016, Sega’s Keymaster game has taken the arcade world by storm.
The instant prize redemption game involves using a key to unlock a prize. And if you use the clever tip below, you’ll discover that you’ll have a much better chance at winning Keymaster than any of your friends.
How Much Does Key Master Payout?
That is determined by how much play the game gets. (We'll go into detail with that soon) The game features a dozen high dollar prizes (gift cards, Jordans, iPhones, jewelry, etc.) behind the glass across 3 rows. People gravitate to Keymaster in arcades because of the desirability and value of the prizes being offered; top row prizes are worth the most in value whereas the bottom row tends to contain those that are less sought after.
How Do I Know When The Keymaster is Ready to Pay Out?
There is a way to tell if the Keymaster machine is ready to give you a prize. In the
video above, you’ll learn how to tell the right time to play a machine. No time for a video? Okay, here’s how it works:
When the key barely hits the top of the keyhole - the machine is not ready to pay
out, here’s why that happens in reality, the machine’s mechanism is forcing the key to miss the keyhole. This means that the game isn’t skill- based. Regardless of where you told it to go originally, the key will continuously be forced further to ensure you miss - (it’s what causes you to lose).
However, this does not mean that the machine is impossible to beat. If the key hits the bottom of the keyhole, it means that the machine is now ready to pay out. The machine has made enough money to give you a prize now. If the key barely hits the bottom of the keyhole, go a little bit higher. And when you do, the key should go right in! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
(As a side note, this is for an arcade Key Master. ClawCrazy is skill based and there are no rigged machines or scams)
Is Keymaster Winnable?
Yes, of course. When it comes to beating Keymaster, It's important to test each row once and watch for where the key lands, if the key is hitting the top on all three rows, it is not ready to payout, but if it's hitting the bottom, there's a good chance you will walk away with a great prize!
