A trip to the seaside often includes a visit to the arcade, but winning on the popular 2p pusher machine can feel impossible. Now, one woman has shared a simple trick that dramatically improves your chances after 33 years of living in a coastal town.
Emily, who posted on Instagram to her 8,500 followers, revealed that dropping in several coins at once rather than one by one can triple your winnings. The clip shows her technique causing a cascade of pennies to tumble, and the same method works for 10p pushers.
The hack was discovered at Llandudno Pier in Conwy, home to the longest pier in Wales. The pier features two arcades: Leisure Island and The Deck Arcade, where classic games and a prize shop await.
For those tackling claw machines, experts recommend targeting smaller parts of toys, using a swinging motion with the joystick, and choosing the right toy to maximise success.
