Hello Steem Blockchain!
In today's video, I take you on a journey to an arcade in China! I've never had such bad luck before hahaha. I tried several different claw cranes and didn't win anything.
After trying out the claw cranes, I played a horrible game of air hockey with a friend on a old air hockey table.
Arcades are quite popular in China. You can find several of them in any popular shopping/entertainment area. It isn't so much the video games that people play, but the claw crane machines. People like to spend some money to try and win a teddy bear or plush toy. I even find myself spending time in these places every now and then because it can be fun.
The thing with these machines is that they are still rigged. Yes, I sucked in this video, but even when you pick up the toy with the claw, the claw automatically opens up slightly to allow the toy to fall back down if it detects a weight. I guess it is the arcades way of staying in control. I feel like if it didn't have this built in system, people would win a whole lot more and they wouldn't make as much profit. When there is some type of sensor that detects a toy in the claw, you can control it so that every 1/10 times a toy gets picked up, it actually can carry it to the chute, otherwise it will drop it in a subtle way.
The arcade is still fun regardless, but it sure would've been nice to win something more often lol.
Thanks for reading & watching!
