Well you see, today i was at a beach and saw a funfair , went in and got hooked on a 2p machine and wasted roughly 3 pound trying to get the toy outta it, i didn't [i]really[/i] want the toy but i wanted the feeling of winning it. Anyway so £3.40 later i finally get this shitty little toy, but the thing that got me was it looked like it was gonna fall straight from my first 2p i put in , obviously didn't and i wasted 3 pound :Z So what im asking Facepunch, is there any secret/tips/tricks to these machines to win quicker/more? Pic of said machine : [URL=http://img12.imageshack.us/i/dsadasdkhn.jpg/][IMG]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3920/dsadasdkhn.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
I hate these fucking machines, i always waste fuck loads of money and the coins drop and go down the side :/ , i hate that :(
Climb in it. You can do it. Also, I know it's not one of them grabbers, but it still applies.
Well first you have to have at least 5 coins with you Put one in the top, but don't drop it. Just hold it against the edge. Then put your finger nail in the slot where the tickets come out (only works if you have long nails) Then punch the glass open and take the toy yourself.

You can usually tell within about 20p weather the machine is rigged or not. What they do is they have the pile of coins usually about 4-5 coins high and they have hidden slits that directs the coins back into the machine when you push them. Basically, if the machine isn't made to give out prizes, it won't do so very easily. Also, putting 2 coins in at once, or spamming the machine if it has a anti-fail guard is much more effective than putting 2p in at once. When I go on holiday, there are these 2 arcades next to each other. Both full of these 2p machines. The arcade on the left actually gives out the prizes on the (People win more prizes, but put more cash in) ideal, the arcade on the right is fixed and it takes alot of cash to shift even a shit prize on the (People never win the prizes and we make money of the people who are fooled into trying to win it. We take their 50p/£1 and they leave, probably never to come back but its a holiday place so more fish in the sea!) idea. The nice arcade is always full.

Put 2 coins in at the same time and make sure at least 2 coins drop down to be pushed. If this push does absolutley nothing at all and the coins just seem to vanish then the machine is using the slit trick to just push everything back into the machines bank. Rip-offs. :bang:

Pennies For those grab-machines, check with the storeowner what the "yellow and black box" is set at.
Thanks for your input guys :v: , but there must be more than 1 tip ? Anyone?

Break the glass Take your earnings Run

How to get that winning Feeling: 1. Take the money you were going to spend on it. 2. Go to the Pub 3. Buy a pint. 4. Think of how you're sticking it to the man as you're downing your delicious pint.
Spend some more. :smug:

[QUOTE=tacoriffik;16803883]I thought the glass was plastic?[/QUOTE] Strike it with metal objects. Get your head in the game here.
Knock the machine over and make vigorous love to it while the children watch in amazement as it gives you all the coins you could ever want.
1.) Ask it politely if you can have all it's moneys 2.) If it doesn't answer, jump to step one. If it says yes, go to step 3. 3.) ??? 4.) Profit!

If you run an arcade with those types of machines then you obviously don't give a fuck about satisfaction.
