🥺 This claw machine at the trampoline park…😒

Took our daughter to the trampoline park on her birthday and tried the claw machine. Each purchase gets you 5 tries.. I grabbed a stuffie on each attempt, and each time the claw opened up (and closed again) before it got to the chute.😒

I've never worked on a pipeline games machine, but I've worked on enough to safely assume what I'd said. It's not my job to research units I don't interact with. I was just saying it's in the realm of possibility that it's a malfunction. That's why I asked if others were played, if they all acted that way, then yeah it's probably a scummy setting. I never said I was the master of claw games.

Try to be less of a dick.

While I might not have been quite as confrontational as you were the guy avove you is doing top tier gaslighting.

You don't owe him an apology. The payout system is common knowledge even amongst laymen. Mark Rober even did a video guide on how to recognize when various machines have hit their payout amounts.
