    My hometown had a carnival that would come through about once a year. One of the best games they had was the crane machine and their cranes weren't actually rigged like most of them. My father, who only have one hand so he was very dexterous, was able to constantly win at the game. He won anything from little plastic toys to pocket knives but bear in mind this was late 80s early 90s. Most amazing thing I ever seen him do with just one hand was play the original Super Mario on NES and ran all the way from Level 1 to level 8 twice in a row without dying once.

    I worked at the ladder for 2 months, and they let me practice whenever no one was trying it. 2 days in to the job I could climb the ladder no problems.
    By the time I quit the job I could walk up and down it forward or backwards. I actually ended up getting a reasonable amount of tips from drunk challengers.

      let alone that the states to check on the games a far bit and make sure they can be won each time its played, but doesnt mean that you will win. and cant be by only by luck, the games need to be by skill or its just Gambling by the state.
      just shows how one sided this video is. just grouping all carnivals games as the same, ik the one i work at as the harder games for bigger stuff. and yea when your toys can be up to 100 or 200 or more for the toy, diver, worker and worner of the game.
      and the names that make the toys done sell them to ppl to buy carnival toys to sell and not be won, the bigger companies really hate that and would only sell to carnivals. so it would be 99% 2st hand or you just take part in some Shady business deal. just really shows how lil this videos knows about a carnival, like any other customer that Can't read a simple sign or just read the bits that they want and try to ignore everything else.

    • @laurenceperkins7468
      @laurenceperkins7468 6 років тому +26

      That's why most setups involve the ducks swirling around in circles with a point where they go out of sight. Assuming the person running the game doesn't take the duck and put it back later.

      MetroidJunkie i won a pack of jumbo cards with tokens. They were in a mini claw machine that were easy to pick up. I spent £10 trying to get the right amount of tokens but the cards costed £2.99 on google shopping. I have rarely gone near carnival games. The prizes are usually cheap and like even so if you won an ex amount of tickets you could bring them in for say a playstation 3 which was worth 25,000 tickets but it would have been way better than just buying the console than spending 3 times the amount thats why i only play arcade games to be honest. I do know only one game that gives you a good amount of tickets. Its harpoon lagoon. While its a bit expensive to play its the funnest game i have ever played and the most rewarding. My local arcade has one. Its like £1 for 30 arrows. You can hit the jackpot worth 500 tickets. Its a chest in the middle.

Even amazed my girlfriend at the time - who was in law enforcement...lol...the guy behind the counter said he'd never seen anyone win at the game. Good strategy for winning at this game.

    When I was is 4th grade (a good 27 yrs ago🤦🏼‍♀️), my family took a trip to Geauga Lake in Sandusky Ohio. We had just entered a portion of the park that had games immediately in front of us. My dad was telling me to wait until we were leaving to play, so we wouldn't have to carry any winnings around. Well, I didn't wanna wait, and swore I would carry whatever I won. BAD DECISION...LOL. I wanted to play the Ring Bottle Toss game, so he said SURE, thinking it would go the same way as every other time. Crazily though with my first few thrown out of the whole bucket of rings, I WON! He immediately took the rest of the bucket from me, lol, so we wouldn't have to carry around 2 HUGE POLAR BEARS!! 🤣 It was sucky for the whole day, because "I" had said I would carry my winnings, and I did...lol. We got home to Virginia Beach and I thought it would be cool to jump on it... another BAD DECISION...LOL. That Polar Bear EXPLODED, and ALL of those little styrofoam beads were EVERYWHERE! It only lasted 1 week! It's become an AMAZING story though! Moral of the story is...LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS, THEY DO KNOW THINGS! 🤣🤣🤣

    When my daughter was little we went to an amusement park and played a game where you had to throw a hula-hoop over a large stuffed gorilla . The trick was, that to win the prize the hoop had to also go over the wooden base the gorilla sat on. I noticed that the hoop I'd thrown was touching the edges of the square base on three sides and resting on top of the fourth corner. I called the attendant's attention to this and said the game was rigged since the hoop wouldn't fit entirely over the base. He reacted condescendingly at first, but try as he might he couldn't even push it down over that fourth corner. When he saw that our interaction was drawing a crowd, he decided it was better to just give me the prize than argue further.

    For the basketball games your best chance is using a high arc. That will give you the best chance of getting the ball through the hoop. Also, wait around and see if someone else can make one, then go and shoot on that hoop. I did that once. I waited around the area and saw one guy sink a shot, then went up and made my second shot. I think it was 3 shots for $5 and it was a pretty decent size prize too

I threw a dime over my shoulder at a rectangle the size of a playing card with a small circle in the middle. Object, dime inside circle the size of a penny. As I walked away he yells, "We got a winner" and for a dime I got a giant teddy bear. And carried it around Six Flags all day.

    A tip for those who still want to try the "bouncy ball" game... put spin on the ball before you VERY LIGHTLY toss it. It takes practice but the inertia of the spinning ball reduces or even negates the bounce due to the friction of the ball against the basket..... this reduces (or eliminates) the kinetic (? It's been awhile since my science classes in school, so I don't remember exactly what type of energy) leaving the ball to spin up the side of the basket instead of bouncing! Even if you win this game it is HARD to keep doing this enough to win a prize worth more (or even equal to) what you pay to play..... about all you will win is bragging rights for a few wins and a "prize" that 8s worth about 5 dollars.... if that

  • @periscopenation5523
    @periscopenation5523 6 років тому +70

    @BeAmazed The 'shoot the star' game IS rigged. In most cases, the barrel of the rifles are bent. To circumvent this, use the sights to aim directly at the middle of the star. You'll notice that, regardless of your accurate aim, the BBs will hit either left of center, or right of center.
    Once you've gauged the inaccuracy of your chosen rifle, make a mental note of the inaccuracy, fire a circle around the star, and knock that damn star off the paper... Then, claim your prize. Remember, if ANY part of the star remains on the paper, you lose.
    How I know this: I love carnivals, and I love outthinking these little scams. And by using the technique I described above, I won the first place - giant stuffed animal - prize for my lady friend.

    • @John-oe5nb
      @John-oe5nb 6 років тому

      The trick is not to use the sights. Watch where the bb's are hitting on the target and adjust from there. Go around the outside of the star close to it and don't aim for the middle. I have won this game many times using this method.

    • @nathanielmourning8096
      @nathanielmourning8096 6 років тому

      PeriscopeNation it's not always a bent barrel but with that AND the normal inaccuracy of plastic balls adds up to a fairly low chance of winning unless you have the perfect method

    • @John-oe5nb
      @John-oe5nb 6 років тому +1

      Yes, the balls are very inaccurate, but I try to watch the general pattern of them and try to shoot just outside of the star around it. If you keep the pattern in the middle, you create a hole that the other balls just pass through. I have won this game many times using this method, but it is not easy. The smallest part of the star left is enough to lose and they look very closely. I don't even try to use the sights, only watch the pattern on the target.

    • @reaprrt
      @reaprrt 6 років тому

      no it's not that. it says in newtons 3rd law that you can only push something so hard so just shooting around the paper and getting to a point where the star is almost off, the paper will just lean off and the bb gun is most of the time inaccurate,

  • @GunDrone
    @GunDrone 6 років тому +7

    Be Amazed, "The 'shoot the star' game IS rigged". They don't use BBs but #2 shot which is slightly smaller than a bb. This makes the shots go all over the place. In one game i played years back, they were using lead #2s. Today because many places use steel shot for hunting. Steel #2s can be found and if you don't know or can't compare the bbs with the #2s, you won't know the difference except in accuracy...

    • @davidgouthro3518
      @davidgouthro3518 6 років тому +1

    @Vizhonary 6 років тому +1

    I first figured out the BB tommygun and red star one when I was 8 years old and can beat it most of the time if they haven't used the worst of the two cheats they tend to employ. The common one is that the sites are almost always way off and the nastier is a bump placed just inside the tip of the barrel with a really loose bore that is designed to bounce the BB into a much wider spread pattern so it's entirely inaccurate and unwinnable without pure luck... I got good with those BB machine guns when I was a kid in New Jersey, though. There was a booth at a boardwalk that had moving metal targets and a few of the BB machine guns to shoot at them and a pretty accurate system of tracking which BB gun had hit which target. No prizes, but if you hit enough targets, they'd give you free reloads, and I got to the point where I could play that one all day if I'd wanted to.

    At Disneyland, I won a stuffed Bullseye from Toy Story. The game was horse racing with rolling the ball through holes. Probably one of the honest games because you compete against other players and not the house. Bullseye was a quality stuffed animal and not some sawdust filled junk. I was surprised.

    The "Stand the Bottle Up" game is easy as hell. The one where you use a fishing rod with a ring at the end of it, loop the ring around the neck of a glass bottle that's laying on its side, and then stand the bottle upright without having it roll of the edge of the square platform. Everyone that is an amateur at this game just tries to lift the fishing rod straight up, thinking that the bottle will follow. But 100% of the time, this doesn't work. Instead, loop the ring around the very top of the neck of the bottle and make sure that the bottle is centered on the square platform. Then instead of lifting the rod up, push the rod straight forward away from your body. The tension in the line will secure the loop around the neck of the bottle and pull it upwards. Provided that you don't go too fast, but at least fast enough, the bottle will stand up perfectly and voila! A giant stuffed snake for a $2 try.

    Shooting star around here usually had guns which had skewed sites or slightly bent barrels. My sister once won it, but the guy said that an atom-sized piece of red was still there and he didn't give her the prize. So I told him I wasn't going to play and walked away.
    I was going to win the rope ladder climb and the guy turned the ladder on me. My parents weren't watching at that moment - which is why I think he did it then. Every time I was going to win, he'd twist the ladder, so I complained to him and we left.

    I had a friend that won the bottle ring toss on his first try, he asked "Is there any way I have to throw them?" and the guy said no, so he ended up just picking all the rings up and just tossed them all at the bottles. And he got one to land. It shocked the guy at the counter, I bet they decided to make it a rule that you have to do one at a time at that Carnival.

    As somebody whom has run carnival games for years, I will tell you that most of these are not quite correct. The tricks depend entirely on the person who owns the game, and who sets it up.

    It wasn't a game on this list, but one time my sister wanted a prize available at a whack-a-mole booth. The way they ran it was that there was always a winner, but it was a competition between all of the participants. So they'd wait for a few players (minimum 3 according to the sign), then all would play at the same time (separate machines). Whomever had the most points got the prize. Well, we figured that if me, my dad, and my brother all played, it was enough for a game, nobody else was around that seemed interested, and we were guaranteed that one of us would get it. So we each paid, sat down, and the guy starts asking if anyone else wanted to play, slowly counting down to the start of the game. 10 second count down took more than a minute to reach 5, which is when someone else just happened to want to join and the game began instantly after that. Guess who won? My whole family feels that either the random stranger was either a coworker brought in to help so that technically no prize was won, or for whatever reason the guy running it felt it better to rig it so some random person won a stuffed animal instead of a group essentially working together, despite the fact that he got our money either way. First one feels more likely because the second one makes it sound like he was being an asshole to us specifically instead of just doing what he normally does for customers. Either way, BS.
    Also, in regards to the last point in the video, while its likely much cheaper to just buy the prize than even winning first try, it doesn't bring the same satisfaction, the sense of achievement that actually winning brings, especially when you know its rigged against you

      @CliftonPhotographer 6 років тому +3

      cyberfennek On one crane game we played, the prizes are Beanie Babies standing up. 🐮
      Very hard to grab, but not knock over. Every time we knocked one over and walked away the attendant would open the machine and put it back up. So we learned that it cost us 50¢ to knock it over and another 50¢ to pick it up from laying on it's side. Not 100% of the time but about 80-90%! Nearly wiped out the machine!
      Of course this depends on the strength of the claw. 🚡
      Good luck everyone!

  • @traviscrum5860
    @traviscrum5860 11 місяців тому

    I remember playing one of those games where you get 4 balls to toss onto this big array of cups and winning multiple prizes. There was like 1 blue cup for the biggest prizes, a few red ones for the medium prizes, and a good number of yellow ones for the small prizes. The rest of the cups making up the overwhelming majority are white which don't net a prize. Anyways, one day in my early teens while some cousins were visiting, we took them to an amusement park. While we stopped at the carnival game section, we played this game and others. After letting my cousins and sister go first, I gave the game one more try before we moved on. I was trying to aim so the balls would bounce towards the center where the blue cup and the most concentrated area of red cups were. My first toss ended up bouncing into one of the red cups. I then asked if I won again if I got to keep all the prizes or just the largest one and the lady confirmed I got to keep all of them. Her face was really surprised when my next toss ended up in the blue cup thus winning the biggest price. Got a yellow on my 3rd, but I was in shock, so I didnt even notice at first. I gave the last try to one of the cousins, but it missed. The prizes were all the same except for the size so we came home with a group of monkey's latched to bananas 3x the size of their bodies. For a long time, I kept the biggest one of display on the top shelf of my room where it sat. It was large enough that I realized my sombrero would fit on the monkey's head when I was originally setting it up their so it ended up wearing it for years until it got torn or started coming apart at some point where the beads were coming out

    I only won 2 carnival prizes in my life, but both worked out well. One was a novelty straw hat that lasted much longer than I expected, in the hands of a careless high school kid. Not bad for $20. The best was a goldfish, back when they used to put the fish in the bowls you were tossing at. Carnival goldfish are notorious for not living long, and I hit mine square on the head with the ball (first try, too)! Even at such a young age, I figured the fish would be dead in about A week. That fish outlived every other fish I bought to give it company and got really big. I had that fish for years and years.
    Of course, this gave me a false sense of skill, and when I got older, earning my own money, I wasted way too much trying to replicate my early successes. Would that count as a "long con?"

      It depends where you buy the giant stuffed animal, and of course what quality it is. We have a shop that sells giant stuffed bears for £10 but the quality is terrible. They even smell bad, but committees buy them for fayres as prizes. I wouldn't want to win one!
