This review is to let those crane game enthusiasts know what exactly goes on here.
They have "up & across" crane game.
If you don't know what this is, it's you get two buttons and only get to move one time on each button. Once up and then once across.
The employees place pluishies (Stuffed animals) just so, so they are out of reach for the crane to touch them. The crane doesn't move all the way to the back or all the way to the side. VERY SHADY!!!
The other kind of crane game is called "trap door"
This is when a plushie is in a trap door compartment and you stop the moving lighted wheel to gradually open up the trap door to release the plushie.
This crane game is fine, but what they do is even more shady.
If the employees see that the trap door has more than one item in the trap door, they will open up the machine and throw back the extra item.
This machine is known to have multiple prizes inside the trap door.
(Watch youtube videos from different arcades and Dave & Busters)
Matt3756 on youtube for example.
They also have a double crane game inside the bowling alley which is HIGHLY RIGGED. One side of the machine has a screw loosened just enough so one of the clamps doesn't clamp down hard enough on the prizes.
So to all of the crane game enthusiasts out there that love playing these games like I do, go somewhere else or better yet, play official SUGAR LOAF machines.
SUGAR LOAF machines are reliable and can have prizes won with shady tactics being done to get your money.
