  • Some of these 'state of the art' claws in the UK are absolute rubbish. Here's what I've dealt with for the last 2 days playing them

    I did a test at a Haven holiday camp a few years back. Their E Claw was set to pay out after 125 plays. It was 30p a play or 4 for £1. So do the maths. 😅

      Honestly that’s not terrible! By all means that seems generous compared to HBLs 250 plays with £1 for 4 goes 😂

    The cinema in the mall close to me has the worst payouts I dumped around $50NZ into it cause I wanted a snorlax and it didnt pay out. I honestly expected it to after about $20-$30 I gave up cause I didnt care enough to find out what the pay out actually was. I worked in a store that had one set to a $7 payout then a $10 pay out when it had licenses Sanrio stuff and due to it being pretty fair it got a bunch of repeat customers and actually made a nice profit for the store. Theres honestly no need for them to be so greedy with them having stupid high pay outs.
    When I went to Japan the ones that were more payout after a number of tries were all pretty fair and reflected the value of the prizes and if an attendant saw you were doing a lot of attempts and not getting anywhere they would often make it easier for you

    The machines are fine, the coils and solenoids are fine. The location sets the payout so low I don't know how they can stay open. Unless they have a steady stream of tourist, so they don't have to worry about repeat business.

    Also Litten (the black and red cat pokemon) is next to snorlax and is one of my favourites.

    E-claws are so good at rigging, they don't need to be this weak. Managed to win a Donkey Kong at Chessington the other day...I always thought the Mario machines were set to pay out the least due to the fact they are a widely appealing prize 🤷‍♂

    • @MrMegaCrane
      @MrMegaCrane  8 місяців тому

      I know right mate, the rigging at that arcade was non existent. Chessington the other day? Is it open? Been meaning to go there for an episode. I would assume the same with Mario plush but saying that HBL never usually alter payouts

      The mk1s tend to have white buttons, lights along the sides of the gantry, a decorated control panel and an extended soundtrack. Some don't have an extended soundtrack but this one does
