If you're going to gamble, make it Poker or some similar game. In poker, you're playing the other players, not the house. Theres no reason for the house to cheat, it wins by taking a rake of each pot, they could care less who wins.
@@ExplosionChimp The house could care less? I'm curious... how much less could they care? A lot less or just a little bit less? (Maybe you mean they could not care less.)
It honestly blew my mind when he said he would miscount on purpose to make the person believe they scored 5 points. I never considered that they would lie and trickle points to the participant at frequent-enough intervals to keep them interested while also being able to control how close to 10 points they actually get.
Reflectedpower ... So, just to make sure, you thought that carnival workers were honest people, right? Mathematically? It would take about 5,000 rolls to win.
3DayPriest while the rules themselves are fishy, they're laid out exactly how they should be . Miscounting like that makes it lose any credibility, no matter what the game
Well you _CAN_ win at the Razzle Dazzle (particularly if given a significant boost), just chances are _incredibly_ against you; it's worse than buying lottery tickets or playing slots. However even if you win there's a _chance_ (not necessarily that high, since if people discover it they could call the police) that the prizes aren't even real.
You really can't, it's impossible to get ANY points while counting correctly. The only way to get points is thru a fake (or just mistaken) count. The numbers on the chart that actually score points, are mathematically impossible to get with 8 marbles, no matter where the marbles land.
No, if it was impossible, that would be too easy to identify and involve the authorities. It is just incredibly unlikely. In a pinch of someone is getting that last point, just miscount it fast like you've been doing all along, though usually in the players favor.
@@jsrodman Nope, impossible. The point scoring totals are impossible to get with 8 marbles, and with the slots available on the board. Take "44" as an example: Seems simple, four marbles on 6s, four on 5s. Except ther are only THREE 5s on the board. All the point scorers run into the problem of either needing 1 more, or 1 less marble, OR needing more of a certain digit than is available on the board. This game is highly illegal, at least in the US and Canada, because there's not even a sliver of legitimate chance.
@@CancerArpegius Lol. Nice dedication. Maybe in a variant of the game, it's possible. But I suggest you watch the video by "Numberphile" on the subject. If the board is designed the way it has been traditionally, it is literally mathematically impossible to score actual points toward your goal. The person running the game intentionally miscounts the dice rolls early on, to give the impression you are scoring points. If you "won", the board was not designed correctly. (I explained this in an above comment - it's impossible to roll certain numbers with the given amount of dice - those are the "points" numbers)
@@CancerArpegius If the board is set up like that. But if the board is set up the original way, you can ONLY score points by a miscount of the dice. Modern versions probably give you a very minute chance of scoring a point, so that it's technically a game of chance. But I guarantee the operators use the "miscounts" early to make the odds seem better for the player (as they do in this video)
I found it interesting that the kid was a student, but it wasn't until the 4th prize choice that he picked something that could actually be used for studying (a laptop)... especially considering he was, according to him, using his student loan money to play.
@Juan Ocampo lol. All of you: "I don't understand context so lemme be an idiot in a lame attempt to insult you." Maybe y'all should learn to comprehend a statement before commenting on it to merely showcase your own ignorance. Dolts.
I read a comment on a different video where someone said that same bastard who was running the scam at the comic con in colorado springs got caught and arrested at rhode island comic con
The bigger deal is they have shown a large number of people how this scam works. I showed the video to my 7 and 10 year old kids. I hope the kid got his money back too.
Since there are MULTIPLE cameras constantly circling around them, I'll assume that the player has been told it's "not real." And that's not even CONSIDERING that the proprietor is not complaining about all the cameras -- if he were running the "real" game, he wouldn't be allowing it to be filmed.
I always wondered how they always seem to get 5 points at the start - here, it's obvious; the scammer points out the score chart to the player, who stares at it while he does an inflated count
I’ve been asked to play this in New Orleans. When I announced - rather loudly - that it was a con, I was asked by a group of three to go elsewhere - if you know what I mean.
Play this but with fake currency. Then after you've spent around 200, The cops that you called 20 minutes ago show up to inspect the booth for counterfeiting.
A subtle thing, you will notice the point board is not in order. If you were to sort it, I bet easily you would see an entire order of consecutive numbers will give you nothing
yep, and because of that, but they take up like 99% of all possible roll combinations; so you have like 99% chance of getting nothing, a good 6% or so (I don't know the exact number, but it's relatively high) chance of getting no points _and_ the fee increasing, and then like a .95% chance of getting .5 points and something like 0.05% chance of getting anything higher than .5 points.
@ it doesnt matter at all, if you count the points you will ALWAYS miss the numbers. only a MISSCOUNT by the dealer will give you points. so giving you points is the cheat. its impossible to get points by playing. taking photos would only add up to: oh you missed, you didnt get anything. every single time.
@ start watching @ 3:45 ... @ 4:17 he says ". .. if i dont do that [misscounting to give you points] you get nothing on every single roll ..." did i misunderstood something? he clearly says you CANT win since you CANT EVEN GET POINTS. the only way you get points is by him giving you them by misscounting.
because ODDS ARE you would get nothing. its technically possible to win but the odds are so incredibly low of you doing it that you can "effectively" say you are never going to. technically its possible for all the atoms in your body to move in the same direction at the same time and launch you into out space. ever seen it happen? THAT's the point. the odds are SO stacked against you your chances are effectively zero even though technically mathematically its possible. @@yabeeba_com
@ yeah im gonna side with the guys going through the effort of making a documentary and explaining to the public in detail how the scam works, instead of taking random youtube commentaries making assumptions as truth.
@ im not denying that there may be different versions of this game, and it is possible there are versions where you can get points. i am talking about the most crucial version of this, the one explained in the video the whole discussion is about and in which he clearly states you cant get points unless by a misscount.
I fell for this exact same scam in my mid twenties around twenty something years ago and was rooked out of $300! That was enough to teach me a lesson I've never forgotten and haven't gambled or been suckered into games like this ever again!
How does that guy even sleep at night? I would never be able to do a job like that, I would just walk around all day thinking... "Man, I make a living being a complete scumbag"
There are whole groups of people in this world that walk around thinking 'how do I extract money from these people and not get caught.' Its like those the fake beggars with injuries that look so miserable and have really well done fake stories, but if you see them at the end of the night or follow them around a corner they are suddenly cured. They have a totally different mindset then you, they don't see it as being a scumbag, they see it as opportunity.
I think it was "Yellow Kid" Weil that said something to the effect that people who get suckered into cons deserve it because of their greed for money and material things.
This crazy excuse for a game makes me envision the following variation on a theme: only prime numbers (11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47) count for points.
It's actually not legal in many places (namely the UK I think where it originated as far as I know). It's probably signicantly due to the fact that lying is used to cheat people from their money, but also that mathematically the odds of ever winning without paying 10 times or hundreds of times the value of the prizes is virtually zero. Such _EXTREMELY_ terrible odds (and by odds I mean average loss percentage per roll, which is pretty much 100%) make sense to be illegal.
I'm very good at basic math. If someone tries to add things up faster than me, like a cashier, I always tell them to hang on while I do the math in my head. I've caught people short changing me in the past.
ye it got illegalized in the U.S. Due to some legal holes, some carnivals can still run this game, but it's only in particular circumstances that dodge the law. Bottom-line, no one should play this game or anything similar if they see it out there.

seeing as this carnival "game" is illegal in most places they probably did.
Make a ball disapear and scam the scammer
That's a pretty decent idea, but chances seem like they may be low of working.
