Not gambling if it was 100% skill 😤
I never won one of these btw
There was a strategy to it! Instead of dropping coin down every last blade, little kid me aligned the machine a particular way so the coin would drop all the way down to the second to last blade. Then I would nudge the coin to the edge, then twist and suddenly stop to give it enough force to not just fall straight down, but also not enough to fling it past the final blade. I'd say I won around half the time, and intentionally only did it once every so often to not arise suspicion you could game it well. I was sad when my 25 cent burritos were taken away for good after this machine left, ah well.
Same here. I was so good at it. I still remember the manager snide remark about how I didn't actually care about the charity, and me being like, "yup, now about those burritos..."
Not gambling if the prizes aren't worth anything. /s
Right. Like those skill arcades popping up are 💯 fair to the gamer, and not in any way rigged in the owner’s favor.
