Wow, that was shocking and disgusting tricks used by the amusements - using duct tape to tape down the prizes so that people don't win them. Should have informed the owners or staff that you were aware of their tactics and would be taking matters further. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Loosening and over tightening the screws on the claws in the claw machines is also another dirty trick too. Funfairs do this a lot too! That's one reason why I avoid the claw machines unless it's the ones that state "A PRIZE EVERY TIME!" which seem to be rare these days.
@@samanthahardy9903 I'm not saying they all do it, but travelling funfairs can be the worst because they haven't got a long term reputation to worry about with most people visiting just once that will never know any better. Many have been known to set fruit machine pay outs to well below the 70% UK legal limit, some could be as low as 10% so virtually no-one wins, but they will still keep pretending to almost win, for instance tempt you on your last credit to see if it holds on the next go and occasionally give small pay-outs to keep you interested.
WIN. Duct taping the prize down is the lowest of the low should be reported to trading standards, Bounty's are lush I'm gutted they discontinued the dark chocolate one🥥
@ 😂 What did it say? I’m trying to imagine mint one. They throw mint in everything now. I’ve literally just had a couple of pieces of Bournville with mint.
WIN. As for the duct tape, I am disgusted with their dishonesty with the public. Duct taping prizes down to prevent legitimate wins is the lowest form of cheating about. When I launch my arcade in the future. I would reset the positions of the prizes in the machines daily if no one won them that day but I would NEVER ever tape them down as its technically stealing off the public. Great video though mate.
I work in an Arcade and The duct tape is definitely a breach of licencing conditions. I would report it to the local council who issue the licences. The only reason we would ever use Duct Tape in the arcade is to close off a coin mechanism if there is a problem we can't immediately fix.
I once saw some kids in an arcade in Scarborough using a candy floss stick to get the coins off the edge of a pusher machine, they laid the stick down in the tray underneath then turned it to an upright position and poked them coins off the edge, their pockets where bulging with 2 pence coins.
No you that won't work you need to use the metal strip from a car window wiper.. But now most of them have a piece of metal so there is no tiny thin gap between the glass and what ever it is. If you want to make serious money use a clicker or strimming wire on fruit machines.
@@carloszarzoso1724 Older coin pushers were backless in the old days, you could simply just push the platform from the back of the machine forward, it would sound an alarm of course. I know this from watching a few kids do it at a local fair back in the 80s.
That taped down prize 😂 I'd smash the glass and take the damn thing and when they come over talking about criminal damage I'd start talking about duct tape to commit theft because that's literally what that is
WIN. The duck tape was craziness I hate arcades that do that its so unfair. Emma I would make him buy you a bounty for not winning you one 😂😂. Always a pleasure watching your videos ❤
Big Clive just recently made a video about how these grabbers work, and how you get played. In short, they adjust the voltage for the grabber in order to make it stronger or weaker. The computer simply decides when it is time to win.
I live in the US and it’s just so funny to me how we speak the same language, basically, with the exception of some words here and there😂, but even so I still cannot hardly understand a single word you guys are saying lol 😂😂
It's best to use subtitles, lol. we are from the black country and have an accent and some own words that only people from this part of England use. I do tone it down for the videos, but bits slip out every now and again. It would help if you watched a series called the peaky blinders as they are in Birmingham not too far from the black country. Thanks for watching 👀
I used to work in the industry. They would rig the claw machines claw sensitivity so that it was impossible to carry a prize to the drop chute. True story.
They also loosen the screws on the actual grabber claws (I have seen some where screws are missing entirely, meaning one claw has zero force behind it) UK Arcades are incredibly petty like that. It's good to be aware of this kinda stuff
report to your local council and trading standards and they will get there gaming licence revoked.your complaint will block their application for renewal of gaming licence of fit and proper persons.
Im new to your channel Just stumble across your channel today this was a fun vid despite the arcades being cheats lol , yep I’ve subscribed n I always click the like on what I watch to keep track of what I’ve watched 🤭
I used to love arcades as a kid when you could win actual cash. Nowadays it's overpriced for cheap stuff you'd never use or spending your tickets on sweets which I hate anyway... The duct tape thing is disgusting. They should be reported for that.
7:08 The attention to cleaning isnt there either - The amount of muck and dead wasps / bees etc in that prize chute was disgusting. Taping down claw prizes i think may be classed as fraud?
16:39 do you guys call those lady birds? I couldn’t hear very well but it sounded like you were saying ladybirds. Here in the US we call them ladybugs. That’s why I’m asking. Just curious.
All amusements use tickets as your win ,you have to collect lots of tickets to redeem at the kiosk for your "PRIZE" . I spent £25 on these machines in Blackpool for my 7 yr old Granddaughter to win a £6 plastic toy a complete rip off .
good video I enjoyed it thats outrageous that theyve ducktaped the prize down you should defo report that its completely illegal. I will ignore the bounty comments THIS ONCE for they are the best thing going give me a bounty any day of the week you stick to your boring mars bar :P
We all know the machines can be set to give a certain level of pay out, but the moment I saw the car duct taped down like that I would have walked out.
Win, Sorry i am a fan of Bounty as well, Love the coconut in milk chocolate. Was sad to see Arcade use tape to stop a win, i guess this why was empty in there and that emoji game look very costly with very little rewards but it is your wallet open greg and we get to see all the fun for free lol :)
The first machine (emojis) the dropper has edges, you need to wait for it to get to the spiral drop, every time your hitting the button, the dropper is away from the spiral.
Duct tape, lol..not the only cheats on those machines, although that is a dirty one, shame on them :( ...the mech that grabs or pushes the prizes has alterable force and the machine alters it to stop you winning 🤣 name and shame the arcade...
WIN . If someone or other people told trading standards what they did by duck taping those 2 prizes can get a big fine . Also Greg i would of asked for your money back as if they said no then you can get them into bigger trouble as by law you have to have a 50/50 chance of winning a prize not 100% of not winning . Also Emma is not wrong about bounty i like them only the milk chocolate one .
You doint no us my wife is ill and has a brain tumour she had a craniotomy in 2014 to have it removed but unfortunately it returned it returned in 2021 and she had gamma knife surgery in may this year doint judge people unless you know the facts
!!! WIN !!! New to your channel hello, Wow that is utterly disgusting duct taping that prize so you can't win it thats beyond cheating....I would refuse to spend even a penny in there cheating money out of people doing this sort of thing should be banned.
It’s quiet because people just realised they were being ripped off😢take the recording to trading standards I wouldn’t be surprised if Kier Starmer is a part owner in this place he loves deception 💔🇬🇧
WIN. I think that the people who run arcades should be made to stop the use of sticking prizes so that they cannot be won. It’s not fair on the customer especially children. I can tolerate bounties but I preferred the dark chocolate one.
Win. Bounty is worst one in celebrations 🤢 malteser teasers are best 😋 The fact they duct tape prizes really doesn't surprise me with uk arcades, pretty sad really 😔 Not an arcade I'd go to. I was in the US recently and had to have a trip to Dave and Busters, great arcade!

I would have taken photos, and reported it to staff to give me the prize or I’m reporting them to trading standards. That is fraud.
@reelsoffun so brush over the fraud with a good old fashioned bit of blackmail. Love it. 😂
I'm sure the gambling commission would have something to say
WIN. Duct taping the prize down is the lowest of the low should be reported to trading standards, Bounty's are lush I'm gutted they discontinued the dark chocolate one🥥
Lots of easy copycat recipes on here 👍
Yes! Dark bounties in the red wrappers. I had forgotten about those.
@@Ejuiceythought you don't come on yt anymore more lies
Big❤ for bounty, agree dark choc was the best I actually sent an email suggesting a mint flavoured one got a very rude email back
@ 😂 What did it say? I’m trying to imagine mint one. They throw mint in everything now. I’ve literally just had a couple of pieces of Bournville with mint.

I remember when arcades had cutting edge games now it's all claw and ticket machines that need 400 tickets for a pencil and ruler.
@beaxhlife2968 😂 if you go to Butlins you'd be lucky to get 2 penny sweets for that, maybe at a push a small bouncy ball
I converted my 5k tickets for a toothless bnosh job from old Meg in change booth.
Don't forget the arcade staff that open up the 2p machines to move the prizes back as soon as you walk away.
And then have to get another 600 tickets to win the pencil sharpener to sharpen the pencil ✏️ 😂

Win. Great vids as always. Can't belive there was duct tape I would have complained straight away as it's a straight up scam and classed as robbery
The claw machine was like one of them skull/head massages..... But the tape trick would of had me kicking off.... !!!

@@mcgeorgeofthejungle6204 yes. But it still let out money then the new ones when alarm goes you get no money. Every time harder and harder.
@@carloszarzoso1724Are you referring to the mechanical fruit machines ?
My daughter used to do that in the 90s
Win! You should’ve WON that! In the UK, that is illegal and should be reported! BAD arcade 🤣
WIN....that duct tape should be reported to trading standards
Bounty’s are the best thing ever. You don’t know what you are missing Greg
WIN. ducting prizes is downright wrong and possibly illegal as they are misleading customers. Oh and bounty's are the best 👌
I agree with you on the bounty chocolates. Emma's a weirdo 🤣
Win 🎉
WIN. What a con taping the car down. Great channel
they are all Riged claw Riged UK holiday, park Arcade great video keep up work great work I'm just Greg

Seeing the duck tape, I'd be straight out of their! And reports would be on the menu!
Yes id also report them, the games are hard enough, but cheating like that is so disgusting.
You sure it wasn't goose tape?

Win bounty’s are beautiful 😍 sneaky sods sticking prizes down, that’s proper snidey!
Ex husbands uncle used to work in the one at Bowleese Cove near Weymouth .They used to loosen the claws on the claw machines
WIN. That duct tape is deception which is a crime.

WIN.Duct tape is very naughty 😮
WIN.......love watching you all... emma is a winner.... yall ceack me up
Great work on finding one the cheats used! Carrying on WINning
The claw machines are a fix, it will only grab tighter when it decides to pay out
cute pencil set WIN
Once saw an arcade worker open a 2p coin pusher to replace the crappy plastic bonus gifts to the back of the stack
Completely agree with Emma, the bounty chocolate are divine especially if you nibble the chocolate off first
lol the local "fair" used to rig bandits with matchsticks over the payout shoot...
WIN Omg duck tape! Cheeky sods. I totally agree bounty she be discontinued 🤣😂🤣 Great video again. Thank you 💗

A fool and his money!
Win. Love bountys, bit cheeky tape stuck on prize.
It's a well known fact that arcades are a racket. And why they are not readily inspected on a routine basis is beyond me
Because the councillors get nice thick brown envelopes to allow them to scam the public.

Bounties are the bomb
Bountys are the best!!! 😅

Skirlington used to be a nice arcade when they had the classic fruit machines in, 2 and a half years ago they all vanished and not been back since
Win.
Bounty is worst one in celebrations 🤢 malteser teasers are best 😋
The fact they duct tape prizes really doesn't surprise me with uk arcades, pretty sad really 😔 Not an arcade I'd go to.

A large box of maltesers are the devil at work. They are moreish 😅
