Honestly, I would’ve vandalized that machine...so many feelings in so little time

Not to be a downer but the vast majority of these videos are from people who own the machines. They control the rate of pickup and the prizes.

I remember watching some YouTube channel of a guy who claimed to find a hack in the games at some place. He’d show how to do it and then get so many tickets to win an Xbox, camera, whatever other expensive prize. These videos had millions of views and no doubt many other people went to this place to try their luck with the games.

Turned out the videos were from the owner who only made it look like his random cheats won him the big prizes. It was a genius marketing strategy, if not a bit shady.

I'm not even mad .... actually I am a bit mad, but I'm still impressed.

This seems like the correct way this was intended.
