N.J. state investigators test boardwalk games of chance for impossible odds

- We all suspect it, but is it true? Are boardwalk games rigged? State investigators from an under-the-radar unit at the state's Division of Consumer Affairs will often follow up on complaints by covertly visiting outlets at peak hours and ferreting out violations of the laws that govern "games of chance." That can mean anything from lopsided basketball hoops, to immovable prizes, to darts missing the fins that keep them steady. Despite the widespread notion that boardwalk game operators tilt the odds in their favor, investigators with the DCA's Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission say most licensed operators are in compliance. The games are just hard. Commission officers joined county health officials at the boardwalk in Point Pleasant yesterday to launch the state's "Safe Summer 2011" task force. In addition to assessing the level of fair play, officials also tested food and toys. (Video by Nyier Abdou/The Star-Ledger)
Little Susie it looks like your darts are missing a fin, I'm going to have to detain you.
Maybe we can work something out and I won't have to call the police!!!

Nope. You, Susie, are going straight into Death Row, immediately.
0:57 like she gives a shit, just a teenage worker earning minimum wage.
+Joey Baseball dude people who work at banks don't give a shit
+pkmanlol6 She may not be responsible when it comes to potential fines but as the operator on duty she is responsible for fixing the violations. I would assume that the faulty darts would just need to stopped being used until they are repaired. That is her responsibility to remove them from use until that's done.
Kanders190 Yeah but i'm guessing the owner or manager/boss didn't explain to her that faulty darts need to be removed. She can claim ignorance. Get off your fucking high horse, she's just a worker, blame the owner or manager.
+Walter Babst Haha what high horse? It doesn't matter that she's "just a worker" and it doesn't matter if she claims ignorance. The people that do these audits don't care that she's "just a teenager worker earning minimum wage", if she's the one there operating the game, she has to know what to do. They give you two options. Fix the problem or shut down. I've had experience with similar groups like the guys in the video and they are usually pretty nice. They tell you exactly what you need to do to fix the problem. I'm sure they just told her that those particular darts can't be used anymore until they are repaired. I'm sorry that you're upset at my preposterous idea that the individual working there would have to do her job. My bad, yo.

There needs to be a tv show about these investigators.

I would like to expose these investigators for fraud, in that they are over paid metermaid hall monitor/cops, who do the least they can for New Jersey citizens, in exchange for their high salaries. Corrupt police union of New Jersey drains the livelihood of citizens of N.J.
Actually, it's very bad for small business. They were nit picking.
john raponkus exactly... wtf kinda job is this? No way they pay a livable wage and if they do... someone is getting ripped off in the grand scheme. You can literally never have A hard days work with this kinda job.
I want to see an HBO miniseries about a hardened, deep undercover, veteran of the consumer carnie investigation bureau (or whatever they are called), just burned out and taking justice into his own hands.
What kind of a world do we live in when you can't even trust carnies

you could never trust them lol
That's how they make their money lol all the games are rigged... you should know that. It's the fun of playing that people don't mind spending money to try
@@pokes986 The prizes cost less than the price to play, so they don't lose money when you win. Obviously they need to pay employees, rent, electric, etc. so they don't want everyone to win, but it needs to be possible to win.
Spoken like a die hard Carney! Lmao
My uncle had a concession on the Jersey boardwalk back in the 50's - It was the game where there were three milk bottles stacked up and you had to knock them down with a ball. Then one summer there was a terrible hurricane and it destroyed the entire boardwalk. When the storm ended, the only thing left standing was. . . . those three milk bottles. (Woody Allen)

It’s actually nice to know there are investigators policing these “chance” games.
No it’s not bozo do they do this for casinos I can guarantee they don’t
@@kurtlessnar8497 i can assure you there are people investigating those games and if they are fair i used to work on a show for 15 years those games are heavily regulated and checked at every spot and they are all able to be played and won whether the player has the skill to do so is on them the are meant to be a challenge.
@@kurtlessnar8497 Casinos are maybe the single worst example you could have thought of, Casinos are extremely regulated and monitored
What a dumb job... waste of money.
@@theerealatm it pays
I never understood why the claw games with the stuffed animals were rigged to that extent. The thing can't cost more than 2 cents to make and you're making it so every $100 dollars that goes into the machine causes it to spit out one.
+SoaR Hardly The games all have internal settings that you can adjust to change the difficulty of the game. The most common thing to do is to set a "payout ratio," which would allow for the claw to grip with appropriate strength every x out of y times. Of course, this doesn't help the case shown in the video where the prize is impossible to grab, regardless of the strength of the claw. It's similar to gambling in that you're paying for the chance to be that lucky person the jackpot lands on, but you've got to go in with the mindset knowing that there is not that much skill involved. I tend to stick to the actual skill based games, because knowing what I know makes the other games a whole lot less fun.
i love you hardly
actually the plush cost more then 2 cents they often cost at a least dollar for smaller generic plush.once you start talking bigger licensed plush it starts to get into the 10 to 15 dollar range.
also they aren't all impossible to win(they actually legally can't be).older claws can't be rigged to change pay out and even on ones with set pay out rates if you are skilled enough you can beat the claw.also if they really are impossible to win call the game board cause legally all claw machines have to be win able.
+SoaR Hardly
because it's the best $ trap out there for a nice parent.
you walk by with the kids, kids point at one of the plush toys, and you want to be the nice dad or the cool mom that beat the game to get the prize for a small price,
yet you flunk 10 or maybe even 20$ and can't get it out or to get it.
1 to 5$ plush bring in 100% profit and more.
+SoaR Hardly not always, some machine have a payout rate. i own my very own machine.and i can make it to where, i can win a prize every single time, workers do it so they can make money, yea the prize cost more than 2 cents to make, but the owner has to buy that for more than a dollar each! the owner isn't the one who makes them, he sells them, this is known as vending.
Who the fuck spends 50 bucks on these machines???

Still makes 5x your salary, sadly.
considering they get paid by the state, I highly doubt that.
I'd be proud to say that xDDD
albeit tho a salary of 25k-30k a year to just walk around checking claws 40 hours a week 5 days on a set schedule isn't bad for the average unmotivated american.
Dirty Dan im still in school ya dingus
We all remember toy story. We'll see the claw game is this simple, you didn't choose the claw, the claw didn't choose you.
funnyhappyharry the claaaaw!
funnyhappyharry You're incorrect. The Claw is much simpler than that. Close your eyes and be the claw.
Being a TH-camr who films claw machines, I can tell you that's not the case. Every claw they investigated here was made by a company called "Elaut" that makes rigged claw machines. Most claw machines are just skill, or have a payout rate of 1 to 4. You can watch some of our videos if you need proof.

Rigged or not, if you spend $50 at one claw machine, that's on you.

5 bucks limit. Damn 50? Dont take that girl to the casino. Lol
True lol
Steve Martin in the Jerk figured it out that the prizes are junk, so the operator can't lose. In fact I would pay them not to give me one of those giant animals that are made in China.
Oh It's a profit game!

Ya missing a fin here, gonna put this one aside
She was like “bro I just work here” 😂😂😂😂
I was a manager at a restaurant with an arcade, I used to ask the arcade techs questions whenever they came out. One of them showed me the control box in the claw machine, it is programmed to know the cost of the prizes and the cost to play. Only after it had made back the cost of the prize in tokens, would the computer increase the claw strength for random players. The odds were fixed to 1:300 for that particular game.
*somehow wins the rigged iPad thing*
“You uhh, can keep the plastic box! We can give you a discount too!”
The first time I ever played a claw game I knew it was rigged. Those weak ass claws couldn’t hold a feather.
Man that one little girl was like 15, chill out she's just trying to make a few bucks.
She wouldn't have gotten in any trouble. The owner of the stand would.
She was probably a worker or volunteer of a fundraiser.
Little Becky is going to learn today.
They totally did chill, and just told her one dart is broken...

If you spend $50 on a claw machine... Without winning anything from it, I'm sorry but that is due to your own stupidity.
john papple Lol. The thing is, I agree with you. You're 100% right... BUT if you (the person in the video) is going to complain about losing $50 on a claw machine, why wouldn't you stop feeding it money after losing the first $5-$10? ..Hell even if you're dumb enough to put $25 in a claw machine without winning anything, why wouldn't you stop after that amount? ..The ONLY logical reason I can come up with is that they were having fun doing it so therefore maybe it was worth losing $50.. There is a problem with that idea too. I can't see having the time on my life on a claw machine to the point where I forget how hard I work for a few slices of paper. Anyways, FUCK MONEY, GET BITCHES, amIrite? You tryin to come over to my place & drink a few shots of olive oil & punch a sperm whale in it's punk-ass dorsal fin?

im glad these people exist
took a girl on a date to movie theater and the claw game was set to win every time. Literally cleared that thing out of prizes. Couldn't carry them all
I found the same thing at a Dave & Buster's. I started giving the prizes to kids around me; I had nowhere to put them haha.
Lol it's the same with those spiky balls, a machine had 50 balls in it and I won all of them
I was questioned about my bag of balls and I told them that they need to watch the security cameras
+naw nope There used to be a claw machine like that at a Red Robin near my house. I literally never lost.

Guy at the end was like "yeah MY $50 down the drain."
I used to be able to win on the old claw machines, the new ones are a lot harder to win on.
at 3:29 with those cases the claw had to grab the handle, otherwise it's going to be very difficult.!!
Actually there are things that can loosen the newer machines and make the claw able too hold less it's real
Because you're winning $500+ prizes
who is dumb enough to spend $50 dollars on a claw machine.
Alex Re Yeah, like it's easier and cheaper to just buy the toy instead of getting it from a claw.
Alex Re probably wasn't her 50. Haha
Simple. It's not her money....it's his. The only reason he gave it to her is because he thinks by doing so, he'll get some action later.
He won't though, she is just like omgz i wanna play the claw then 9/11 happened and the world was a different place.
ironmatic 1 because it's satisfying to win
Investigator: Is this the first time you were inspected this year?
Little Girl: yeaah
Oh Jesus, when you say it like that 😂
Thank you for making NJ Boardwalks a fun, fair experience. The state is the best to play Arcades & Casinos. The most reasonable aspect is right how the man said it. There has to be the ability to actually win, you can't just rig it.
I appreciate them keeping the games honest, but let's not pretend that the 16-year-olds working them have any say in how the games are designed, constructed, or carried out. Yeah, maybe one or two of them they have some influence in the set up, but almost all of them are just employees, right?
They're not gonna slap her in cuffs bro, she just happened to be running the booth when the inspector came lol. Of course the owner is responsible.
Yeah I know, it just sucks that the kids working the booths get stuck in the middle answering the inspectors' questions when they don't really have any meaningful answers to give.
She will end up telling her superviser or it will end up going to the company running the booth there just telling her whats going on.
so? The 16 year old is the one that is there on the premises, so who else should the state investigator be talking to? The owner is certainly almost never there, right?
Shrigis I have to disagree because if u are in a car with somebody and the do a crime you don’t even have to kno about it but somehow you still guilty in the court of law same thine
Many of these newer games like the claw or digital games are programs to only allow a single win for every other 200game played or so. This means that even though you should have won, the game was programmed so you would lose unless that number had Ben satisfied.
Who is Ben and why do we need to satisfy him?
+Dr. Lecter lol
hahahah good one
+Dr. Lecter Ben is the guy sitting inside the machine
They understand how the games work, do you and Ben?
I'm so glad taxes pay for the salaries of people to investigate carnival games.
+Kawlinz Me too! Carneys are the real terrorists!
+Kawlinz and you think thats the only job they do ? and that there are like thousands of them? stupid
MrBath1985 I dont care if they only do this one day per 10 year period. It's still a waste.
Ok so conning people out of money and prizes is ok?
+MrBath1985 it's only a con if you're a dumb shit. maybe someone like you would fall for it.
I went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk last month and in the game room, I just watched this mother spend two hours on a fortnite doll with the jackpot key to win in the claw machine. I know cause it is at the main entrance of the place and when I left she was still there yelling at the machine. That’s determination.
legend has it that the investigators are still contemplating whether to check out the faulty $50 claw machine...
I was wondering why this was in my recommended, but then it turned out to be interesting said no person ever
"not all heroes wear capes" this is the greatest example.
If an adult decides to waste $50 on a claw game, they deserve to lose $50 on a claw game.
Employees getting their games checked by inspectors like: 👁👄👁
I once found an owners manual for a claw machine in the basement of a former job. Reading it revealed that it could actually be set for a number of different cheats, such as programming when the claw has enough strength to pick up an object; or even how many tries you get when before claw moves a few MM as it lowers to miss the object
These type of people suck.
They rig the games and make people spend money.
Good thing we have these inspectors making sure everything is a-okay.
"Make people spend money."
Just wanted to highlight that.
Yeah, last week some Carny pulled a gun on me and forced me to spend $20 bucks on his rigged ring toss game. I didn't want to play his rigged game, but he made me. Damn Carny's.
"They rig the games and make people spend money." .. What a ridiculous statement. These people do not make you spend money and smart people do not waste money at games like this because they are aware the games are obviously meant to give you very little chance of winning and that the prizes are never worth the investment. If you are losing money at these games, you should be blaming yourself every bit as much as the game operators.
@@VagueMemory My arcade simply wanted to give people more tickets if they did well at a game. The Games of Chance Commission called it gambling and said we had to give everyone the same amount of tickets. That's what these commission people really are everywhere that's not one of their precious, 'designated resort areas.' They're not the heroes this fluff piece stands them up to be.
Don't say it that way, thedood. What the concessions are forcing upon the player is a different lower probability of winning than the agreed-upon probability of winning.
They should add rubber tips to the claws
They should add a brick to the prize.
Don't play claw games. Rarely are the not rigged.
owen west most of them have payout rates but if it has super expensive stuff it probably is illegal and rigged
M I've never played a claw game that was rigged
J.R. Spingly nope
Carnie: All you have to do is get the ball through Jennifer Love Hewitts mouth.
Kyle: Shenanigans! I’m declaring shenanigans!
Trav D. South Park reference
This is incredible. I am 100% convinced Gateway 26 on Wildwoods Boardwalk rigs every crane game they have. The prizes are too heavy, or buried way too deep in the plastic beads. It also seems like the grips on the claw is just not strong enough. The thing about these investigations is, once they are done what is the frequency of which they go back? They can just reset it back to their cheating ways once the investigations are done.
Not all heroes wear capes
Has the state of NJ run out of options on ways to waste money
heh, people wouldn't have to do that if we weren't already scouring the couch cushions of the 1%.
How can you call the 1% greedy when they contribute a huge amount in taxes that benefit everyone?
Coolio MOO
but they don't. I guess you don't know how many breaks they get from taxes. It's kind of a huge topic in every election lol...
The 1% pays for around 40% of all federal income tax. That seems pretty fair. While some do find loopholes the only reason they do is because the tax rate is so high.
Coolio MOO but the top 1% owns 90% of the nation's wealth
Who knew that carnival game police was a real thing if I was that kid working I would think they're pranking me or some shit

Most of these claw machines work by it being set to only give the claw enough strength to hold after a certain amount of plays.
yeap. The ones that are stack the blocks game until a certain amount is fed into the machine the top one or two rows have a fraction of a second speed up and a fraction of a second delay when you push the button on the one it has to stop on. It is imperceptible to the human eye and mind. If you record it with a high speed camcorder you can see it and you can hear the click of the button and compare the speed in whice it stops the first few times when the last row it can see the difference.
+Michael Parker Correct.
Most ofthe manufactures of the claw game allows owners to set the odds of winning manually. You are right, strength not given til a certain amount of plays

(uses the site anyway)
Here's a question, why would you keep spending the money if you keep losing. Dummy's are why the claw machine stay in business. I think I'll put one in my house for my visitors
We "dummies" use the claw machines and put out hard earned cash for the fun of the game. These people who investigate the machines to insure the fun, difficulty, and reward of the games. Another reason why we play these games is the high risk, high reward. It's no fun to work 8 hours, for the past 2-4 weeks, just to get your giant angry bird plushy or iPad 2. I have a point so don't try to argue with me.
this dummy has no problems winning. last time i spent a few on a claw machine, i walked away with a walking dead plush zombie, a green domo, a thor plush, a raphael plush, a transformers hat (optimus prime) and a knock-off angry bird and a few random bears for my two kids. the true "dummies" are the ones trying to win prizes that are buried, or ones that the claw doesn't fit around, causing the claw to slide right off. now games like key master, stacker, and other modern machines can actually have odds set, as high as 1 in 2500 at random. at random means it could be game 50, or it could be game 2031 that wins. so for example stacker, thats up to 2,500 games possibly considering you can get to the major prize line every time. then again, if there has been 1000 games played, and 1001 is the magic number set at random by the machine, and you get to the major prize line, you can win an ipad. the more expensive the prizes, the higher the odds. just gotta know what to look for and what to expect.
Guys its just people having fun, why the need to call them dummies. I like playing the cranes, seeing something and then trying to win it. I also like seeing other people playing and the smiles on little kids faces when maybe their parent wins a prize they were trying for. If you don't win or its a bad crane you walk away and try another. And I do have one in my house.
SmokeyBluntRoach
Sounds like you walked away with a bunch of garbage. But, glad you won.
Am I the only one who couldn’t see the thumbnail on the recommended or are y’all still wondering why this was even on our recommendeds😂💀
Karen Ramirez yeah
after working in a carnival for 2 years in my teen years I can say your better off making a cash offer to the person running the booth lol
Every state should have this
Claw games have tension screws on the claws to adjust the strength in which it grips and opens, most of them are set so loose it's a miracle to win anything.
my brother won an iPad a few years back. The other people in the arcade treated us like celebrities and watched us play other games.
these guys are the real mvp
".... I Get it, it's a Profit Deal!" "Ok you can win anything below the erasers and between the pencils, anything within this 2 square inch area not including the chiclets..."
So these are what hall monitors grow up to be. Hero's of the people.
And yet these claw machines operate the same regardless of any inspections...
You wanna know why?
Government person: "We're coming to check your games."
Theme park owner: "Technician! Make sure the machines always win for when the people come over!"
Yeah that's why.
you can adjust the claw tension and release timer settings.
morelli tech how
Mario Hernandez there's a box that has a dial which changes the tension and timing (when the claw will grip and how much). You can find videos on TH-cam or google it
yup, my cousin owns a vending business and he has a claw machine at his house. during family events he adjust the setting so all the kids are guaranteed to get a prize every try.
It's outrageous that tax dollars are spent regulating these things
It's Jersey... preserving the integrity of the boardwalk is a cultural heritage thing.
The carnival employees knew they were screwed right when they walked in the door LMAO
The basketball rims are usually bent for a definite miss
Not at my carnival, sometimes the ceiling is too low.
Rich Porter or you just have a terrible shot
Dmytro Novycov Lol naw, I've seen these rims from the side. They're definitely bent.
Rich Porter The basketball carnival game across the Pavilion Arcade in Point Pleasant is actually winnable. It's really just a matter of watching other people play first, and see if any wins occur.
yeah some of those claw machines only fully grab every 15-20 tries, but in this case, the box was way to heavy
The thing is that it should never be too heavy to never get. It's not a game where you have to pick the right box, it's supposed to be about skill in order to grip something the right way. That's the point.
