No one, and I mean NO ONE, understands that the green one adds balls to the total and the blue one drops the total bonus balls. I have taken SO MANY tech calls to this game for that. We even have a sticker at about eye level explaining this.
One of my favorite arcade memories: I was chatting with my friends near a monster drop and the game just started spitting out a shitload of tickets! I had accidentally hit the button, and the game happened to have an unspent credit, and the ball went cleanly through the Jackpot hole.
1. Slam A Winner was first released back in fall 2004, according to the Replay Magazine January issue 2008. 2. Slam A Winner Extreme was released in 2005, according to the Replay Magazine January issue 2008. 3. Monster Drop was first debuted in IAAPA 2010, according to a IAAPA 2010 video that I found. I think it was first released back in 2011. 4. Monster Drop Extreme was actually first debuted at IAAPA 2011, according to a IAAPA 2011 video. I think it was first released in 2012.
Have you considered doing a general arcade meta guide type video? Like the best times to visit an arcade, how to tell if an arcade is worth visiting, maybe a couple interesting stories about arcades you've been to, ect.
dude monster drop will forever be my jam. just about every arcade near me has one and i think its super fun to swing back every little while to go for a few plays. last year i went to a surge location with a friend (who rarely visits arcades) and she got the x-treme monster jackpot on her first try ever playing the machine in her life!
I can't believe I am just noticing how the drop bonus ball hole is slightly smaller than the other ones. Like, it doesn't have an elevated rim, but it is noticeably harder to shwoop the ball directly in with timing or for it to just randomly roll in.
you have the best channel about arcade stuff on youtube! your videos are informatvie and actually entertaining instead of just bragging about winning. this machine always has cracked plexiglass in the front at my local round1... seems to piss people off easily
On to the second video, at first I was like "monster drop? I wonder if Ive played that" and sure enough I remember those beautiful ball colors and the drop mechanism. Keep up the fantastic work, these videos have so much value
Based on an older vid, I finally got around to playing Space Invaders and yeah! That game is hella fun! The fact that I've never gotten below 150 tickets (despite kind of sucking at it) doesn't hurt, but it's also a genuinely enjoyable way to get 150+ tickets. Shame Bubble Bobble only gave me like, 50 tickets
Just wanna say well done on the subs, there's something almost ineffable about your vids I just find very enjoyable. I think its because it is really what makes UA-cam great - person like thing, make video about thing. Good stuff!
Kind of funny about this double feature, Quick Drop has you drop 50 balls across a few buckets, and Monster Drop has you drop One ball across 50 buckets
I love this game, but B is pretty fair. Ive definitely been at arcades where this is S teir, but those are few and far between when you consider all the overpriced or inconsistent ones. This is a very good analysis of this game's payouts. Thanks for featuring my comment in the suggestions portion btw :3
8:06 can you cover those "roulette wheel" type of games some time in the future? There was an arcade I frequented that had a game where you had to line up with a spot on the wheel to get the jackpot, and it seemed fair but was just REALLY difficult to get right. The thing was the token had to land completely in the space or else it was a loser 1 ticket. There was one where the size of the regions corresponded to the value (jackpot was like exactly token size, 3 tickets was huge, 10 tickets was decent) and another where it was basically all jackpots (either 50 tickets or jackpot, all essentially of equal token size). I also played the coin dozer variant you showed there, but that was when I was traveling.
@@countdownclock4063 probably. I never paid attention to the name when I was little and the arcade closed down before I was old enough to pay attention to names.
When I was younger I played a bunch of small monster drop. That machine broke a LOT and I had to keep bugging the attendant to fix it... Though it wasn't like, 1.50 a play. It was one coin per ball and it was like 100 coins for $20 or something
I've seen a lot of Monster Drops, and yes, they fire off blanks ALL THE TIME. There's no sensor up top to detect a ball so if the ball lift has an empty slot for some reason, that's free money for the arcade
A mall near where I lived as a young adult had slam a winner in their arcade. I frequented that arcade just to play it because it was the only game I could consistently jackpot. I've been watching this series waiting for you to get to it. I'm pretty sure the mall still has it today.
Just discovered this channel and boy I love this channel now since I'm a arcade nerd too. Can you take a look at the ICE carnival games series? (Milk Jug Toss, Gold Fishin', Down the Clown etc.)
One arcade game I'd like to see a video on that is memorable from when I was younger is Flamin' Finger. I remember mainly seeing it at Chuck E Cheese locations, and it often drew a crowd if someone was doing well at it.
3:54 My guess is that Game Price is intended for machines with coin mechs on them; if you're using swipers then you can just set this to 1 and have the swipers decide how much the game costs.
This was my favourite game throughout my childhood. I had the minor jackpot down to a science where I could land it up to every other play. I landed the mega jackpot once in my life, through an entire fluke. The regular monster drop was the more common one over here in the UK with the odd X-Treme one in the larger arcades in Brighton's pier for example.
I remember playing this at a friend's BDay back in high school and landed the Monster Jackpot. It was purely by chance, but it felt awesome to see the 1500+ ticket counter head down.
These are my favorite types of games, mostly because they're just super fun. I've never seen anybody hit the monster jackpot on the extreme version, but on the regular version I've hit them several times. I've also seen Monster Drop Chaos, never played though.
6:03 yeah happens when not enough balls are loaded in the cab (these can break down so often that sometimes the techs don't take the time to put the back on when they are done working, and balls can literally fly out that hole), or when some are stuck on the board so there't not enough balls circulating to fill the conveyor. only time I've seen a monster jackpot is when someone pried the game open, and reached with their hand, sliding their card and triggering the monster jackpot before the ball being dropped could trigger anything. Also, the mystery value is illegal in certain states and there is version that covers that hole. I don't know where you are in the world, but I would HIGHLY recommend seeking out a Round1.
I live in the Barrie area and I visit the arcades you film your videos at often. I frequently find myself like that Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the tv meme while watching your videos. Perhaps we’ve crossed paths without knowing it
Funny you mention Slam a Winner, I'm from the UK and have never seen a monster drop anywhere, but it's impossible to find an arcade without slam a winner
First of Im the 💯 comment so your legally have to answer my comment, secondly Love your videos just subscribed and binge watched all your videos, lastly you should cover Deal or No Deal 🥇
you need to talk about the claw machines, WE NEED THE CLAW MACHINES. like, every single arcade has one. i know, its a prize gme, but you featured keymaster, so claw machines can be features too. like, theres rigged claw machines, theres the skill ones, like, WE NEED THEM. so thats something that i would like.
... You probably won't find one of these around, because I haven't seen one in almost thirty years, but my local place used to have this bowling game that had metal bowling pins suspended over a wooden board and you slid a metal puck across the board to try and hit as many as you could. The game rules were exactly like bowling without a gutter, but played like shuffle board. The one I played gave tickets based on your score, but I also saw a lot that were just 'play for fun'. I keep kicking myself in the ass, someone an hour away was giving a broken one for free years ago and I just didn't have the time to try and get it. After I looked it up online and I guess they're not only rare, but out of production and very expensive. Sorry, I can't remember the name.
Alright, I played Slam a winner extreme and classic Slam a winner TL:DR: Slam a winner Extreme is just a bigger version original Slam a winner. So, slam a winner is a Monster extreme drop, but it don't has mystery value(maybe other variations have it, but mine don't), and drop X balls(so no drop balls, or add balls). Just a JP, or two credits(+1 ball that you can time). Also, there is a ring on 100 and JP. I believe a roof for original slam a winner JP 250, and extreme JP is 1000. Also, exterior of extreme is purple, white, and green
My local arcade for some unknown reason has those “corner Doritos” removed… I guess they did it to prevent people from farming the jackpot or something?? Idk, it was super strange to me and I’m just curious if any other arcades did that too
I think on my 22th or 23th birthday, I went to place that has games like these and I accidentally scored the jackpot on first play! I was very happy that I got 1,000 tickets, and I’ve spent most of my tickets on an 12” Sonic Sticker Bomb plush (it was for 1,000 tickets). That was the most amazing thing I’ve done on my birthday.
I like the smaller one a bit better because it's cheaper to play even though it has smaller values. It's also worth trying when the bonus balls go above 10 just because it's fun. Also for some reason an arcade I go to has this and also a power drop thing which is exactly the same but across the room
We used to have a machine like this in the arcade I worked at. Every single play paid out, but the gains were pretty awful and they didn't have a jackpot. I didn't play it because I didn't feel like it paid out enough tickets. Little kids seemed to like it though. Ours was $0.50 and you got three balls for that.
I'm really lucky that my arcade prices almost all its games at $2.50 ($2.40 if you have a level 2-4 preloaded card, called the "VIP price"). The exception is some of the cut the rope prize games which are a bit more expensive, and the Maximum Tune 6 RR machine which is $2.80 ($2.60) for some reason.
On the smaller version, it was a reliable way to win tickets in most arcades. The large one is still similar, but just more expense, hence not as great.
I have definitely had a dud play of this game where the ball wasn’t loaded and I wasted a play. When I was a kid I swear I got one monster jackpot (sorry no footage) but it always felt very random at my local D&B
Played mostly the smaller version of this and slam a winner. Also, question: Could you maybe cover the game that is currently my pfp? (Wonder Wheel) and possibly Smokin' Token?
Still asking for Spin to Win (or its sibling Spin A 21) by Lazer Tron from the year 198X please! I Got so many tickets from it. It's more of a ball rolling one than dropping one tho.
Thus game is fun but the xtreme version is definitely worse than the small version. I notice the dropper has more issues with consistent on all Monster Drop machines compared to Slam A Winner which has a decent amount of consistency ESPECIALLY Slam Xtreme, the consistency on that game is far and away the best of the ball droppers. One that kinda failed that people dont talk about is Monster Drop Chaos which turns the jackpot into a drop bonus ball hole and the only jackpot is the Monster Mega in the middle but that game is very hard to find!
The arcade I am a tech at has a Slam-A-Winner, 2 extremes, 2 Monster Drops and 2 MD Extremes. Loading duds is very very common. The SaW cabinets are all garbage.
games not griefing its just sucks, the balls they use are brittle and the dust from them collect fast and causes it to fail often. the big band is prone to get knocked off the wheels do to how dirty it gets. was a pain to trouble shoot lol so many keys to just open it to fix the band.
I had a dream where for your april fools video you reaponsed to someones request to review fruit ninja and you reviewed ninja kitchen appliances instead and thought it might make a funny enough april fools video if you didnt plan one already
Why didn't you mention the booming voice that says "BONUS BALLS BONUS BALLS" over and over after you hit drop bonus balls? Lol. I swear once my brother hit the monster jackpot and the machine spit out half the amount and stopped. The clerk was like "well all the machines have a cap on them..." What a bunch of bullshit
I gotta correct you on one thing. The add bonus balls during the bonus ball drop. It will add 1 to the total bonus balls left while in drop bonus balls mode. It cannot be infinite, as it takes one used ball to add one ball, if you hit that hole. It can absolutely prolong the "drop bonus balls" bonus time, for sure. But with so many other holes to hit on the board, chances are, it will never be "infinite".
my round 1 has the duds and its why i never play it. the slam a winner was the money maker when i was a kid but it was probably a machine before 2009, i could get it every single time. now a days the smaller monster drop is pretty poo poo which is sad.
It's a shame you never got to experience Slam-A-Winner Extreme. That was the truly fair, unscuffed, no BS version of this game. No "mega jackpot" on a central platform, no progressive bonus balls, just a jackpot starting at 250 + 10 per swipe, and a 150 hole where the "drop bonus balls" hole would be - WITH NO GUARD ON THE RIM. It was harder to hit, yes, but you could consistently hit it EVERY PLAY if you were good enough. On top of that, there were far less if any "duds" and the dropper was much more consistent than either version of Monster Drop. It used to be 9.9 chips (5.0 on Wednesday) for THREE balls, which since got nerfed to 4.8/2.4 for ONE after many years. This was THE easy infinite grind game back in the day. I 100% agree with you on Monster Drop being a B tier - but man...Slam A Winner Extreme was straight up SS. Above anything you currently have in S and I don't think I'm out of line saying that - someone dialed in on the timing could EASILY get 100,000 tickets in under 1,400 chips on a Wednesday back in the golden age of advantage play. Thanks for the nostalgia, even if it was on a variant game.
I never really cared for this game. It was always pretty expensive and the game would be over just too fast for the price, and while I recognized the skill element I could never be consistent so it came off as gambling.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, understands that the green one adds balls to the total and the blue one drops the total bonus balls. I have taken SO MANY tech calls to this game for that. We even have a sticker at about eye level explaining this.

Suddenly i want to drink a Dunkacinno
To be honest, I never really thought about this feature on UA-cam. I'll 'take a look' at it

Two in one day?! 🤩
Ah, its my favorite time of week, drinking tea and watching arcade thoughts. Thank you for da uploads and the sick videos!!

Great video ! Double upload too ! Congrats on 10K !!!
I could've sworn your channel was way bigger --- I've binged every last one of your videos and you deserve 10k with at least 2 more zeros
Love these videos
My favourite channel and I don't even play arcade games. Keep it up!
10k huge!!!! Congrats!!!
Wow, double upload, what a holiday
Dude, I don't know how you got into my feed, but I'm sure glad you did! Always nice to see a video from the Capybarski himself! Congrats on the 10k!
Congrats on 10k subs! You deserve every one of them.
fuck yeah 2 capybarski uploads in one day
I don't even go to arcades, but these videos are just so interesting! Nice for preservation too
Thank you for the hard work you do c:
Holy cow, I only asked about this like a day or two ago, you did this so quickly!
A local pizza place/arcade had a slam a winner years ago. I remember I'd almost only playing that cuz I liked watching the balls go everywhere, lol.
Really been enjoying these videos. Thanks!
This is my favorite arcade game, love timing the jackpot when I’m with friends and I look like a genius

I got the monster jackpot once on my first try of the day and I genuinely had to pinch myself because of how unlikely that was
Lettttssss goooo one of my favorite games I mostly played the slam a winner one that didn’t have an extra jackpot.
Finally!🎉 thanks for this one!
Love your videos!

We're so back
sweeeeet I was hoping you'd make a vid on this game
2:30 All the regular sized monster drops I’ve played add the “add bonus ball”s back in to the count immediately
Also, I think the credit buy in thing is like how in the frogger ticket machine, I've seen three frogs off of one swipe

I just played Monster Drop Xtreme in my arcade today after watching this video and it indeed gave 2 balls per credit
i remember winning whatever the middle jackpot was in this game in 2011-2013 and feeling amazing cause of it lol
think it was one of the bonus balls. took me a few sessions but i absolutely do NOT recommend going after it i was just lucky
you need to talk about the claw machines, WE NEED THE CLAW MACHINES. like, every single arcade has one. i know, its a prize gme, but you featured keymaster, so claw machines can be features too. like, theres rigged claw machines, theres the skill ones, like, WE NEED THEM. so thats something that i would like.

I can’t wait for the tierlist to get so big that each grade will have its own tierlist
Alright, I played Slam a winner extreme and classic Slam a winner
TL:DR: Slam a winner Extreme is just a bigger version original Slam a winner.
So, slam a winner is a Monster extreme drop, but it don't has mystery value(maybe other variations have it, but mine don't), and drop X balls(so no drop balls, or add balls). Just a JP, or two credits(+1 ball that you can time). Also, there is a ring on 100 and JP. I believe a roof for original slam a winner JP 250, and extreme JP is 1000. Also, exterior of extreme is purple, white, and green
My local arcade for some unknown reason has those “corner Doritos” removed… I guess they did it to prevent people from farming the jackpot or something?? Idk, it was super strange to me and I’m just curious if any other arcades did that too
I think on my 22th or 23th birthday, I went to place that has games like these and I accidentally scored the jackpot on first play!
I was very happy that I got 1,000 tickets, and I’ve spent most of my tickets on an 12” Sonic Sticker Bomb plush (it was for 1,000 tickets).
That was the most amazing thing I’ve done on my birthday.
I like the smaller one a bit better because it's cheaper to play even though it has smaller values. It's also worth trying when the bonus balls go above 10 just because it's fun.

I didn't play it because I didn't feel like it paid out enough tickets. Little kids seemed to like it though. Ours was $0.50 and you got three balls for that.

I believe they have both in round one at potomac mills mall (virginia)

my mom somehow won the monster jackpot playing this and i will never understand how she did it, it was also around a 2k ticket payout

It was harder to hit, yes, but you could consistently hit it EVERY PLAY if you were good enough. On top of that, there were far less if any "duds" and the dropper was much more consistent than either version of Monster Drop. It used to be 9.9 chips (5.0 on Wednesday) for THREE balls, which since got nerfed to 4.8/2.4 for ONE after many years. This was THE easy infinite grind game back in the day.
I 100% agree with you on Monster Drop being a B tier - but man...Slam A Winner Extreme was straight up SS. Above anything you currently have in S and I don't think I'm out of line saying that - someone dialed in on the timing could EASILY get 100,000 tickets in under 1,400 chips on a Wednesday back in the golden age of advantage play.
Thanks for the nostalgia, even if it was on a variant game.
I prefer the monster drop ride at dorney Park
I never really cared for this game. It was always pretty expensive and the game would be over just too fast for the price, and while I recognized the skill element I could never be consistent so it came off as gambling.
You seemed a little sassy this video
