Glued 10ps?

[Bahco]

I took my lad to the local bowling alley today and noticed those machines with all 10ps stacked up are still going strong.

You will have all seen them where there are loads of 10ps stacked upon each other and you have to insert a coin and there is a buffer going backwards and forwards which will push your coin onto the others creating a land slide.

I have never seen anyone win any money on this machine but it looks so simple.

Is it a powerful magnet that is stopping you from winning or perhaps glue?

90% falls over the side that they keep and 10% falls over the front that you win

That's interesting. Can you tell us where those figures come from?

Whilst that may be your 'take' on them (reverse your percentages), I have, to date, won several hundreds of £'s profit. Thats in the last year with travelling costs to them - and a cheap B&B if we have a lot to hit.

Many an arcade has banned me (and the 2 people I work with) when they see how we profit from them.

I thought they had an alarm to stop people tipping them forwards.

Weve been tempted at times!

All done within the rules.

That extra angle is the critical design you have to be aware of. On appearance them coins look like dropping as long as you push a couple of coins off the 'top tier'.
