A mother has revealed a clever technique for the popular 2p pusher arcade game that could significantly boost your chances of winning, a trick that took her 33 years to discover. The method involves dropping several coins simultaneously rather than feeding them one by one, dramatically increasing the likelihood of coins tumbling to the bottom.
The Seaside Arcade Experience
For many, a trip to the seaside is not complete without a visit to the arcade. The games are addictive and fun, but winning a decent prize can feel nearly impossible. Emily, a mum from a seaside town, shared her discovery on Instagram with her 8,500 followers, captioning the post: 'How has it taken me 33 years of living in a seaside town to learn this hack?' She added: 'Good job we live near the best arcades in the world – @llandudnopier.'
How the Hack Works
Ordinarily, players feed one coin at a time into the 2p pusher machine and hope for the best. However, Emily's bold approach of inserting multiple coins at once paid off handsomely, tripling her money. The same technique can also be applied to the 10p pusher machine. The clip shows her dropping in several coins simultaneously to increase the chances of pennies tumbling to the bottom.
Llandudno Pier Arcades
Llandudno Pier, situated on the North Shore promenade in Conwy, holds the title of the longest pier in Wales. Two arcades, Leisure Island and The Deck Arcade, can be found there, both brimming with classic games. Leisure Island also boasts a prize shop where visitors can swap their tickets for goodies ranging from sweets and board games to cuddly toys and much more. Scooping a big win on a 2p pusher is no mean feat, but there are specific ways to boost your chances.
Tips for Winning at Claw Machines
Claw machines are notoriously tricky to conquer, but one expert recently revealed three top tips for coming out on top. Start by targeting the limbs and homing in on the smaller parts of the toys—that's where your real chances of winning lie. The expert suggested that to get the best grip, the claw needs to close completely around the plush toy, such as around the head. Next, perfect your technique by trying the 'swinging' method to alter the rotation of the claw. By manoeuvring the joystick in a swinging motion, you can position the claw directly over the smaller part of the toy's body. Finally, before you even dream of victory, make sure you pick the right toy.
