点评:Don’t go near the arcade- absolute con!! Having spent ages putting our tuppence coins in to win silly keyring-type prizes, all the joy gets totally removed by greed.
Firstly, not only are the machines themselves rigged to push most coins down side gullies but far more infuriatingly, employees hover constantly to watch & wait for the minute someone has vacated a machine to open it up & push back all the prizes significantly.
Thus, anyone else has to start over, & be more disadvantaged with prizes moved backwards & overhanging coins swept within the internal workings.
They may claim to be “re-stocking” but nothing new goes in & an already stacked against you game becomes rigged to such an extent that tiny prizes that can be bought by the sackful for next to nothing but means so much whilst playing, is almost unattainable- we put £20 & got 1 thumbnail size duck.
Equally the soft toy grabbers are set on the weakest hold so even toys fully within the claws, get released with the jolt as it hits the top.
There should be a way to report this to a trading standards authority.
You expect these machines to have a factor of bias & it’s normally worthwhile still for the entertainment but this takes it to a new level of greed. A game that wins the owner money & a family hours of fun that I’ve played both with & for generations, now ruined.
The owner should be ashamed . We will not be returning.
翻译:千万别去那家游戏厅——简直就是个骗局!!我们花了好长时间投币,就为了赢些可笑的钥匙扣之类的奖品,结果所有的乐趣都被贪婪彻底抹杀了。
首先,机器本身就做了手脚,会把大部分硬币推到侧面的凹槽里,更让人恼火的是,工作人员会一直守在旁边,等着有人离开机器的那一刻,就打开机器,把所有的奖品都往后推一大截。
这样一来,其他人就得重新开始,而且奖品被推得更远,抛在后面的硬币还会被卷进机器内部,处境更加不利。
他们可能会说是在“补货”,但实际上什么新东西都没放进去,本来就对玩家不利的游戏变得更加不公平,那些原本可以用极低的价格买到一大袋,但在游戏过程中却意义非凡的小奖品,现在几乎是遥不可及的——我们投了20英镑,结果只换来一只指甲盖大小的鸭子。
同样,毛绒玩具抓取器的抓力也被调到了最低,即使玩具完全被爪子夹住,也会在机器撞击顶部时被猛地松开。
应该有办法向贸易标准局举报这种情况。
人们或许会预料到这些机器存在一定的缺陷,而且通常来说,为了娱乐,玩玩也无妨,但这简直是贪婪到了极点。这款游戏原本能让老板赚钱,也能给家人带来数小时的欢乐,我和几代人都玩过,现在却被毁了。
老板应该感到羞耻。我们不会再来了。
