Chas Duran only real engineers will understand this
He wasn't cheating he was testing....
He's not cheating because the game itself cheats.
It's not cheating, it's reducing the possible variables to none.
As an author of video game hacks, I strongly identify with this. If he's got technical skills giving an advantage, fair game as long as it's his work
Same problem with claw games. Usually the claw slips off, making you think it was close. I believe the claw rarely grabs strong enough to pick up anything.
Yes claw games are totally rigged,you can set the tension on the claws but most arcade owners always set it too light so it can't grab and hold anything.
Heard they are rigged to only grip tight after a certain amount of games played.
I read somewhere that there are laws due to taxes etc on prices that the machined wont release prices before the market value of that item has been reached . Its hard for me to ecplain exactly but tey and look it up. In conclusion yes its rigged
It's programmed to increase strength based on the number of losses. Some even have a literal number it counts to before significantly increasing it's grip strength..
Yeah, I only won once, and that was because the claw snagged on the toy's material!
I noticed this too when I would try this. I would always be one behind or one ahead. Had no evidence to suggest it was rigged, but this was so consistent for me it made me question if I was being scammed or not.
same, always within 1 of the jackpot but never won it.
I used to work at an arcade with these exact machines. they are 100% rigged. we could set the machines to pay out after X amount was put through them and my manager used to play the machines when they were getting close to paying out because if he won it, it would save the store money. I used to know all the tricks to them as well, but can confirm ... 100% rigged.

@@heroslippy6666 clever marketing right. as long as its addictive and costs money.
it would be gambling if the kids werent using their parents money
@@heroslippy6666 and yet its not surprising because companies have been doing it for years.
@@stevencamacho6474 of course they are using their parents money. either way why are we splitting hairs like this? Exploitation is harmful to the individual.
As Qxir once said, any business built upon giving away money, can’t be fair
Depends how you define fair.
Equal odds for both parties? No.
Fair in the sense that the risk is worth the reward? To some people.
I used to work in an arcade and had one of these things in it. Winning percentages are tracked weekly with the goal of paying out 25 percent in prizes of the revenue those games brought in. I had to track ticket payouts weekly and adjust. The older ones we had to adjust mechanically, but I loved these ones because it was just a matter of changing a setting on the logic board.

To be fair, an arcade is basically a casino for kids. They spend money playing games to try to win jackpots of winnings. And as Mark proves here in an arcade, just like a casino, the house always wins.

These machines used to have a glitch where you could hold the button down, unplug and plug it back in and it would spit out 150 tickets :) That was back in the 90's, i'm sure they've addressed that by now, but in my youth we definitely cleaned a few of these out....
As a former arcade tech (albeit 20 years ago) I can confirm Cyclone can be set to payout jackpots at variable intervals and also people would stand there with a cup of tokens and just keep plunking them in. Cyclone was one of our top 3 ticket games for my entire 2 years at the arcade and I'm not surprised it still exists to this day. For the record, MOST of our non-skill based (ie not skeeball or basketball) redemption games from that time period had ways of being set to payout jackpots variably.

These kids say “he’s cheating” but they don’t know he’s bringing justice to them all
He's not cheating, he's using skill. It just so happens that his skill is engineering and using his mind to overcome problems. It would be like saying Iron Man isn't a superhero because the real power is in the suit, and the suit just does everything for him, even though he's the one who built the suit.
some are dependant on machines so much that they will defend them with their lives. The matrix.

I remember I won those games, but only twice in all my years of being on this planet. Claw machines are a different story. I have a somewhat agreeable liking/absolute hatred towards them.
I just randomly want to say, I like your profile pic.
I try to avoid electronic games at arcades as they can be rigged like Mark demonstrated.
Some games have an adjustable difficulty setting rather than a payout rate; at the highest level you'd really need to hit the button within 1/12th of a hummingbird wing flap!

This sounds like the start of a huge lawsuit especially since these games are designed for children.
The fact that these machines are rigged is widespread knowledge. It's been known for decades.
@@yohiyoyo1 does that make it ok?
@@informitas0117 It makes it unlikely for anything to happen.
There isn’t anything on the arcade game that claims that when the button is clicked the light will stop at the time clicked the button. If this did go to court that would be all the arcade needs to say and they would not be fined. Because deception is legal
Problem is, so far its been successfully argued that it isn't gambling due to the use of tokens, combined with the fact you don't win any money, only items from the front desk.
The little kid in the background as it faded out. “Is this hacking?” 😂
There was an older version of it where you could, in fact, play properly. I got so consistent about it i could drain the jackpot completely to where it was better to stop on NOT the jackpot.
Then they updated to the rigged version.

if you own an arcade, kick mark out as soon as he walks in.

True.
It is a test of capacity of reaction and speed skills, not engineering, programing and creativity skills :P
But even if you have skills and hit the button when the light is in the right spot...it doesn't mean you win...it's not test of skill
👏🏼 Bravo 👌
Amazing none of the staff noticed you'd got a backpack placed on one of the stations where the light kept stopping. You should do a video trying to explain that.

I'm surprised that arcades aren't required to post odds of winning games. Casinos usually are. And I think that games like this, that APPEAR to be games of skill, but are ACTUALLY games of chance, should be illegal.
So gambling is illegal for kids to participate in, but arcade games that work on gambling principles are just fine??
You have now figured out literally every kids game, carnival game, those things in stores that give random toys, video game lootboxes...
Wait it's almost like people figured out that kids with undeveloped minds can be easily manipulated to drain their money
Also trading card games, when I was a kid I used to open packs of Pokémon cards and the guy at the till would buy any rare cards for cash ... making them essentially scratch cards.
Its because your not recieving legal tender. Ur buying tickets to get prizes. And playing a game to get it. Still its gambling and kids spend alot.
"Yes."
@@reaven2535 I will have to disagree with you on that. You don't win money in arcade games and Loot Boxes are more like raffle tickets.
I had come to the same conclusion about these (and similar games) years ago by using a highspeed camera and recording myself playing it over and over, only to examine the footage and find that there was no correlation to when I pushed the button vs. where the light would stop.
Wow, that's even worse than I thought
I did the same using my ultra instinct. No joke
Can't wait till you make "How Cyclone arcade works" series:)
Fancy seeing you here
Yup.... I saw the light go past the jackpot when hitting the storm stopper and then go back to the preceding bulb before the jackpot .
And this my friends is what Casinos do on the daily. Unfortunately gamblers just don't get the memo. It's all designed to make profits while you go broke. I wish people would understand it's business and this is how they make their money.

Its not level if youre set up to win every time and hit the maximum amount of allowable jackpots though. Plus you cant cheat when its your own rules. People can not play it though.

I was always bad at these, now i see why
I worked as a carny , for a very short period of time.
They let me go, and I was happy for that.
I had to sleep at night .
If you want to enjoy yourself at the State Fair ,
just sit at the _I Got It_ tent.
Grab a beer and a sausage sandwich and get out of the sun or rain for awhile.
Johmathan .B. Swift what are you talking about?
A carny is someone who works the booths, games etc at fairs .
Games of chance, such as this, are very much rigged in favor of the owners of them at these fairs
If you have a conscience , meaning sleep at night, you most likely will not do well as a carny.
If you want to enjoy yourself, meaning not lose ,
then play a game called *I Got It*
It's a game where someone will win each time.
It's located on the midways, and generally under a tent with seats.
Grab a beer and a sandwich , or whatever, and just sit back and enjoy.
They let me go from my job as a carny , for I gave away a couple of the big prizes that are rigged .
The big ones are rarely won.
I was basically stealing money from 13 year old kids.
It bothered me.
So I gave a couple away.
F**k Um
*63* thumbs down/dislikes . Wonder whose those are ???
You've been to a fair most likely .
You've played the games of chance most likely too.
The thread here is, " I've was always bad at these games " .
My comment sheds a very brief , in agreeance . along with personal experience ,
reason why LTazze was bad at these games.
The reason being , *there're rigged* .
I was a carny .
If you don't know what one is, here's a link to explain .
Carny=Carnival worker ; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carny
BTW . A great upload like this now has *79* dislikes.
The averages a excellent though.
If you want to have fun at the fair, or other places that have games like this,
don't blow your money on them.
Play something that you can enjoy, sit and relax .

To be fair, there are skill-based games in the arcade like skee-ball.
Willis some. The basket ball games and other skill based don't give tickets at all. There are very few ticket games that are at least somewhat skill based.
It's only since the whole loot-boxes scandal that I've noticed how many games are just gambling for children.
crossy road is completely skill and you can earn a ton of tickets but that’s about the only game
