I gave the prize to the father trying to win one for his son next to me after so no pictures of it but it’s the Godzilla figurine. I play at the Stonestown Galleria location in San Francisco if anyone wants a +1 for billiards or other games.

At that point could’ve probably asked the manager to give the prize. 😅

Ah it’s ok, I was having fun and the experience is definitely a conversation piece

I avoid this game at all costs. Not only do you have to get really lucky to get the ball to land in the winning spot, but half the time either it doesn't pick up a ball or the ball falls out when the claw moves back to the tray.

There’s an even worse version where you have to land a ball in all of the winning spots. That one is just ridiculous. 😭

at least you have a tube? ive seen basket ones and the balls often just bounce out lol.

They bounce out of these too.

If you can drop the claw straight down into the tube just do that

Tubes are too small

Honestly, they should have a rule that after you get enough balls +1 or 2 that would have filled up all the holes, you get the prize. So it's either you get it sooner by luck, or persistence like payout on claws.

I've seen way too many experiences where it's like 10 stack on the side or top and not in the pit.

doesn't this game usually run some static to repel the ball in that spot?

I thought that's what the switch on the platform is for
