American claw machines are built differently. Saw a fight over one at a kids birthday at a skating rink once. The owner of the place had cut off the end of a broom handle and shoved it into the prize chute so nothing could come out. One of the kids won something from the machine, and their dad reached up into the machine to try and grab the prize. He grabbed the broom handle instead, and like 5 dads at once tried to fight the owner over it.
Yeah ours are built to make people lose hella money. Tbh though kids at arcades are brats. I saw a kid literally climb up the skeeball ramp and put the ball in the 100 point thing each time. I wanted to call the security but I didn’t
@@DankBobRoss less about the record and more about the health of the machine. (Former Arcade Manager) Skeeball ramps are thin laminate topped plywood and are VERY prone to cracking/breaking under light weight (about the weight of a five year old) and the cost of replacement/repair is dependent on the age of the machine (anywhere between $500-$10,000) so it’s paramount to keep the kids off the machine.
@@nullbytYour strict speaking adds nothing to the comment, nobody mentioned countries here. The internet is not a "my country better, your country worse" competition 💀
I saw a video where this person made a challenge for themselves. S/he had to live off food/snacks from these machines in Japan. The person had X amount to play (don't remember the amount it was) and if they got a good haul they didn't have to go hungry, had a bad haul...well you're going home with an empty stomach.
Do you not realize where gelatin originally came from? There is also a basic amount of insect particles considered acceptable for all packaged food so nothing you eat is truly vegan 😘
Always a fun time, your videos are, and when I was in Tokyo I learned very quickly that I have zero claw machine aptitude! As in I have no skills at those things. Maybe someday I'll get lucky!
@@DirtyRobot I get the sentiment, but Japan is pretty notorious for having an over abundance of layers in their packaging of things. Often 3 or 4 layers deep. Not just "carnival packaging" either. It is a lot of extra waste.
A lot of the claw machines are more about using one side of the claw to nudge/knock the item over.. not really picking them up. There are a very few that picks up and those ones you have to keep playing until “payout” and then the grip will tighten on the prize and pull it to the opening
How are you so good at these crane games? There was a time when I was on a road trip and at some resturant their was a crane game that gives you a unlimited amount of tries until you finally win a prize. it was only full of themed rubber ducks but I sure had one heck of a time.
I love your girlfriend/wife shes so cute she gets all excited 😊 🤗 also some of those were good deals for what you won. Im in Chicago il USA and they are pretty pricey here compared and i love koala march one of my favorites.
I do understand the complaints about too much packaging, but for me, I actually like candy and snacks packaged this way; it prevents spoilage or going stale. If I open a package of snacks here, the whole thing is open and I have to either eat more (uh oh!) or put them into a container to preserve them. I love Japanese snacks that are individually packaged so that I don't have to worry about wasting any, or even touching any loose candies or snacks inside. Yeah, it's a lot of plastic, but it keeps fresher, and is safer to touch. Also, they are very easy to give out as little gifts that way!
You win a package! And inside that package is another package! And in that package is another package! And in that package is another package and in that package is -
I wish we could do a claw machine arcade in the US! I think though, that having to import all of those snacks would make this idea too expensive to implement.
