Happy Gyro - The most evil gambling machine in the world

[Ravioli]

So i was with a few friends at an amusement park and later we went to a bar. They had this little gambling machine called Happy Gyro. It was pink with Japanese stylish shit all over it. There are a bunch of levers with items on them (cell phones etc) and you put in real money and push a button which stops a rotating arrow. The arrow can stop at 1-5 points, bringing the lever up whatever amount of points, when it reaches 5, the item will tip over and you win it. There are also negative points, bringing the lever down.

We spent 20 ****ing euros on that shit. It started with just 1 euro to try it out...but when we sat there 2:30 in the morning, chairs gathered around a gay little machine, spontaniously yelling "YESSS" and "NOOOOO" across the bar. People thought we were crazy. We got so into the game that we were jumping around in exitement everytime we got a point. We got it to 4 points all the time but then it went down again!!! We were compelled to continue..WE HAD TO WIN.

We left that night...defeated and humiliated by a god damn machine. 20 euros that could of been spent on drinks were wasted on nothing. I believe with no doubt that the machine is rigged...theres no ****ING way...jesus ****ing christ. If you ever see one of these machines...please burn it! Hitler designed it

The machine that gets me the most is "Stackers" that game is addicting, its rigged to a certain extent though. I read the manual online for the machine, it doesn't pay out until a certain amount of tries have been completed. Something along the lines of 1:800 chance. So after 800 tries, it should be fairly easy to win the prize, but it also requires skill.

Thats why the rule is to always try at least three times and not to spend more then $5 a sitting. And try every few days, not to often. Once you see a prize has fallen or missing from the machine you still have a chance of getting something.

I used to love to play the claw machine at my local store when I was like 11. They had some awesome stuft animals in there, like a Frankenstien Burglar with down sydrome. Shit that was awesome when I won that.

They also had an authentic Universal Wolfman stuft animal, damn I wanted that so bad. Those machines suck you dry. Never play them anymore unless I find something really, really, awesome (Which I have not in many, many years)

I remember once winning this generic copy stuft animal off of Planet of The Apes when Tim Burton's version came out. I still have that dude, he's orange skinned and in armor with this silly little grin *sigh* He rules.

I like the Stacker games a lot. I won an iPod from one, and my friend won a PS2.

I won a Spice Girls lanyard in a claw machine. Haven't played since. Ravioli, do they have class III slot machines in Italy? You should try those :naughty:

It has pikachu! I want that pikachu.

Happy Gyro is rigged. Me and my friends spent afew and noticing there really is no possible way |:

And stacker is bullshit. Just when you're about to reach the top, Even if you press the button just as the box is above the other, it will either "lag" and stop at the following one. Like kakashi said.

 

[AiM]

It's Korean :frown:

This.

And I thought it was common knowledge that basically any and all forms of those machines are rigged in one way or another.

 

[Que-Ever]

It's Korean :frown:

hawhawhaw weeaboo.

 

[Azner]

hawhawhaw weeaboo.

hawhawhaw numbers.

 

[Que-Ever]

hawhawhaw numbers.

*snrk* yeah he's korean.

Hitler designed it

Godwins law, first post... The internet these days, gawd.

 

[kineaesth]

I am a pro at claw machines. My technique is nothing short of perfection, and I am not afraid to admit it.

Proof or it didn't happen.

 

[Lucid]

Just take a ****ing sledge hammer to it and grab the prizes. :frown:

 

[highlander]

Oh god. Those...those...things...


*breaks down and starts crying*

 

[Muffin Man]

I can resist the urge to even start playing these games. It's so funny to watch my friends get frustrated and lose a couple dollars, though.

1:800 chance doesn't mean if you do it 800 times you'll get it. Everytime you use the machine you have a 1:800 chance (fixed variable) to win something.

Hitler designed it

I lol'd soo hard. Why wasn't drinks and entry more important...were you two sheets already mate?

 

[Raziaar]

Oh god, I used to have this entire laundry basket filled up with stuffed animals that I had won in claw machines. I doubt we still have them, though.
I try not to play them too much anymore, because I just do it for the ego+1, not because I actually want the stuffed animal. :<

I've always wanted to win a stuffed animal in one of those. Granted I almost never play them, and haven't in many years, but I've always wanted one!

Grrr... WIN ME A STUFFED ANIMAL! I'll take a cow or an elephant or an orangutan thanks.

 

[Raziaar]

Or I could just buy one. D:

But they don't sell lifesized orangutans, quarter sized elephants, or lifesized cows unfortunately.
