At the carnivel I always abused the water shooting game, usually competition based and the first person to fill up their tank wins. Welllll, the winner was guaranteed a prize, so I just locked in and started bleeding them dry of... Pac-Man plushies, Choopo, are we one in the same??

I'm glad I'm not the only one kept up at night because modern sonic is in a retro arcade. That being said it possibly being a sonic racing all stars game helps me sleep, I have researched sonic arcade games and it does exist but again the question is why. I'm going to assume the owner started including some more modern machines whether because they're easier to maintain which was the plot of the first movie or to try to bring in new kids. Another thing that keeps me up is sonic can survive in space but drowns underwater in seconds.

About a decade ago, I hit a jackpot at a Chuck E Cheese. I've been chasing that high ever since
@mitkitty
The only carnival game i consistently beat is "guess your weight" because my body type is...inconsistent, and the guy could never figure it out

Ive never stepped foot into a casino because when I was around 15 there was a coin pusher at the county fair and there was a $100 bill hanging off the end of the ledge. I dropped 60 dollars into the machine and won back at least half of what I put in and then put that back into the machine. I gave up and layer that weekend walked by while the machine was being put away at the end of the fair, and that $100 was taped to the edge of the machineðŸ˜

The key to making the most of your money at an arcade is simple: Get good at pinball, find pinball, earn replays by scoring well. Most pinball machines have what's called a replay score that, if reached, will reward you with a free game. I have, on multiple occasions, spent hours playing pinball while only spending a few bucks by being able to consistently reach the replay scores.
@Absolute_LUNA-C
having an autistic addiction to arcade rhythm games and the only two places you can play it are both 100 miles away is a painful experience one can only equate to torture
@TheDanishGuyReviews
Holy crap, $70 is like $300 to a child. A huge amount you're not likely to see again in the near future. I am so glad arcades don't exist here, and when the fair rolls around, I have a strict limit of $5 on some very specific machines and attractions. (I am partial to the coin-pushing one in an unfortunate way, too. Not even to get money, I'd just love to go "Oh, this wristwatch? Yeah, I got it in the carnival game, what of it?")
@B0ssguy
i really like this format of just choopo talking about shit

2:23 - Respect for differentiating Japanese arcade culture from the scam artists in the US arcade business. Some of the greatest games ever made came from arcades because only the most fun would stick around for years to come. Hello Pole Position my beloved! <3
@Belgarathe
Want to cure your arcade game? Work in one. Once you get to see behind the scene, you’ll understand that things like claw game has a winning set rate.
@McDucksters415-x4y
My favorite are the rail-shooters (Terminator specifically) so hard to beat but can’t walk away
@GibberishScreamer
the fact that a lawyer could beat a superhero in a fight is insane
@nexusgalaxy9249
Arcades is just the casino except you don't used your parent's inheritance to win one slot machine
@MykrasOtherStuff
One time at Kalahari I got a jackpot on Monster Drop and decided to just keep playing that for an hour or so. Later on the machine broke and I asked a guy to fix it, then when he tested it HE got the jackpot as I watched and gave me the tickets. I brought home a six foot enderman that day and he is still in my room his name is Jim

4:23 I actually managed to win a round of Stacker once and ended up with a $50 gift card for the arcade I was at. I then proceeded to blow all $50 trying to win a second time. This is why I don't gamble now as an adult.
@the.dirt.man.
The amusement park I worked at did carnival games right- money was already made at admission, so games were intentionally fair and prizes valuable. They weren’t losing money on prizes but the intent was never to make money with them, just boost atmosphere and memories so people would come back
@AamazingSphinx
The Seabrook arcade is based/insidious because the crane games there don’t stop until you win something. I left with five flareon plushes.
