I did in fact do this before I knew it was even a thing. I was at an arcade in a tourist town and I was like "what if I just drop this" did it and won 1500 tickets. It was so lit.
Yes it works, me and my dad went to Chuck E. Cheese for my cousin’s birthday party and we spend at least an hour on the game. Not only did it work once’s but twice! So it depends on the angle you drop it at, because we try doing it for a third time but it didn’t work and we just moved on.
It's actually worked for me a few times before. It's true that the strings are different sizes though so you really got to get the right one for it to work.
I saw a kid at main event drop the hammer and it landed the jackpot on wack n win and I remember I was like maybe that does actually work then I realized he could do that cause the arcade has it set to a certainty strength where you can do that so it works yes and no but mostly no
You can configure the controller of most arcade games to affect timings, precision, sensitivity, and just about any functional part of the game. Even variable win rates aren't out of the realm of possibility.
When I used to work at an entertainment center we had one of these. We modified the settings to change the level of force needed after ever jackpot payout, so you couldn’t run us out of house and home😂
Id like to propose that it could still work only because you tried it on one machine. Like you said, machines can vary. Its maybe a play once and test it, but its not to be expected.
I went to an arcade and there were two of these right next to each other and I trued both. One I barely hit and it went up half way and the other it went past the top. So yes there are different settings. 😂
Even if doing this doesn't work exactly, if you have a long string dropping it can make it easier to find the jackpot. You can drop it from a certain height and if you need less or more strength you can adjust
I’ve used this hack at other arcades. Usually the machines with shorter strings work better because they are less sensitive and you don’t have to put any force into the drop
I know of at least one place that has signs up saying not to drop the hammer like this. It's been some years since I was there, but I believe they have at least one camera pointed at the game or in the general area to catch anyone doing this or doing anything to try and get an advantage in this game or other games, and there's definitely a staff member always watching the cameras. I believe in other places they'll kick you out if they catch you doing something like this too. If anyone's thinking of trying this don't be surprised if you're kicked out or even banned from a place for doing this.
So it does work, Ive done it multiple times before, however, its the string that varies the results. If its the short string like the original, it WILL work. But some machines have longer strings to now combat this hack so you HAVE to find the right strength to hit the jackpot. So its not cap, it just varies with how long the string is.
As a games attendant, it works depending on machine, we have two and this hack only works on one, usually it has the highest jackpot from intentionally losing to rack up the prize. One is less sensitive than the other so everyone uses the one where the hack works.
This actually does work, however like you pointed out the length of the string and the settings in the game affect the output I've done this before and I've gotten it on my first try. So yeah, it's most likely not a guarantee but it's probably the best approach to this game.
My dad figured this out before the hack was popular. He spent a ton of time at the hammer game, and figured out that he had to hold the hammer a certain angle from his shoulder
This is like when I played that one game. It was a game where you hit a plunger and a spinner arm with a weight on the end spins around and you have to get the spinner to rotate a certain number of times without going over to win the ticket jackpot. Realizing these were calibrated more for a kid's strength, with just a jerk of my wrist, I tapped the mallet onto the plunger. I won that jackpot, too!
Most of the games in an arcade or something like that can have their probabilities changed. Something one of my managers taught me when I worked at incredible pizza
I legit did this before knowing it was an actual hack, it literally landed PERFECTLY on the jackpot, but then a solid 5 seconds later it went down by ONE
Trick is stand with elbow at right angle and drop. Depending on how much it is short or too hard adjust arm slightly. Once hit jackpot the game changes the level in which need to drop but you can easily get within 10 tries every time the jack pot is one. After two jackpots the fun of winning ain’t the same but try above and you will win. I do 2 every time to boost tickets but rather play other games and enjoy time so haven’t tested much more than I think 4 wins in a session
I've actually done it as a joke and it did work but finding the sweet spot is the secret to winning it. The round one close to me actually put the game up after I won multiple major prizes from them. Got me a switch and a ps4 fight stick. Plus a bunch of other things as well.
I actually tried this at my local arcade and from what I’ve seen, it does work depending on how the machines calibrated, mainly it’s the ones that have shorter strings however I did notice some variation from drops of the exact same matter so it is rigged as too not give jackpots every time
I have a story to tell believe it or not. One time when I was 12 I was at my friends bday party and we went to this machine first. I was really weak and skinny at the time and I thought you just had to hit it as hard as you could and it wouldn’t matter. So, with all my strength I slammed it and got the jackpot first try.
I remember maybe 1-2 years ago i was doing that game and everybody knows I’m weak since how skinny i am and when i had hit it i had hit the jackpot and i was so surprised along with other people. Nice cute moment 😊
As someone who worked at an arcade and this was one of the games, I can confirm this works. We were not allowed to play it around customers for that very reason because they would figure it out😂
Me and my friend levi discovered the best way to win the jackpot is just barely flicking your wrist. On my birthday me and levi played it multiple times and won the jackpot 3 times
I actually saw a employee doing this bc the place wasn't packed out and he was bored, it worked-
I'm sure they probably either change it every so often so u can't just come every day and destroy them or they seen the videos lol
I did it and it worked but i tried 5 times until I got the jackpot
Na that was just him setting the thing
@@maxgreer2575 they don't. I used to work in one. if it works one time, it'll work again and again and again
It probably works, but only for some machines
I did in fact do this before I knew it was even a thing. I was at an arcade in a tourist town and I was like "what if I just drop this" did it and won 1500 tickets. It was so lit.
Epik moment indeed 🤩🤩
“Enjoy your Spider-Man rubber young king .“
Did the same thing and it worked
Top things that never happened
CAP
I work at an arcade and we purposefully shortened the string bc hq heard about this and told us to💀
Yes it works, me and my dad went to Chuck E. Cheese for my cousin’s birthday party and we spend at least an hour on the game.
Not only did it work once’s but twice! So it depends on the angle you drop it at, because we try doing it for a third time but it didn’t work and we just moved on.
"Step four: win"
*you didn't have to cut me off*
*like that*
😂good one
galaxy brain
Really depends on how it's calibrated. Found one where you just had to drop it from fist height, and ended up winning around 8k tickets
669th like lol
Dang
My brain seeing this:*imagination of Hitting it very hard that it breaks*
LOL
Him. "I couldn't do it so obviously the other video is cap"
BRUH
He legit explained everything too 💀
He literally replicated the experiment 💀
I've done this too and it didn't work once. Depends on the arcade, string length, and the payout settings of the machine
I managed to win this one by dropping it and *ever* so slightly using my hand to push it. Copped 1.6k.
him: dropping in
me: climbing up and jumping on it
edit: wow ive never got this many likes

The Dave and busters near me shortened the string for this reason
It's actually worked for me a few times before. It's true that the strings are different sizes though so you really got to get the right one for it to work.
I did this first try maybe try putting the hammer lower because the string was the same size as this one so I did it lower and got it
same
My arcade has a small string so I don't have to worry.
Me and a friend tried this at Round 1, and closest we got was one space off from the jackpot.
I saw a kid at main event drop the hammer and it landed the jackpot on wack n win and I remember I was like maybe that does actually work then I realized he could do that cause the arcade has it set to a certainty strength where you can do that so it works yes and no but mostly no
Hacksmith! We need your machinery
*gets the jackpot multiple times*
"Doesn't work, its cap guys"
He also doesn’t hit it. It’s not 100% successful
You can configure the controller of most arcade games to affect timings, precision, sensitivity, and just about any functional part of the game. Even variable win rates aren't out of the realm of possibility.
it does work at my arcade so it really is just the string i think cause it works 7/11 of the times I've done it
When I used to work at an entertainment center we had one of these. We modified the settings to change the level of force needed after ever jackpot payout, so you couldn’t run us out of house and home😂
It actually does work it might take a couple trys but it mainly depends on the angle it falls on
Id like to propose that it could still work only because you tried it on one machine. Like you said, machines can vary. Its maybe a play once and test it, but its not to be expected.
It Actually Works I'm At the arcade now 💀
I have a few on my route - if it's set to default settings, and the string length hasn't been changed, it works very often.
This is the only arcade TH-camr in existence who’s actually truthful
The Dave & Buster’s that we went to I saw a kid that tried to hack and he got the jackpot😮
I went to an arcade and there were two of these right next to each other and I trued both. One I barely hit and it went up half way and the other it went past the top. So yes there are different settings. 😂
🤣
He wasn't clickbaiting, it was just that in his arcade it works
Even if doing this doesn't work exactly, if you have a long string dropping it can make it easier to find the jackpot. You can drop it from a certain height and if you need less or more strength you can adjust
I just had an epiphany, hold only the string and spin like Thor's hammer then slam it with all your might.
I have gotten it to work befor, must be some good luck.
It mostly depends on machine. The owner can calibrate the force required.
I like step 2 and 3. Very detailed and informative.
I’ve used this hack at other arcades. Usually the machines with shorter strings work better because they are less sensitive and you don’t have to put any force into the drop
I just keep tapping it until it reaches the jackpot 😂
What do you mean? It only allows one hit, right?
@Short Asian kid it worked for me. I got jackpot both times 😂
@@blueiswonderful no it can be hit once or multiple times if you trick the system
Me who got it first try on my first time there: *confused*
Hopefully to make it fair, the ones with the short strings have a more sensitive button, and the longer stringed ones have a less sensitive button.
Dawg hit it first try when he did it without the hack. Applaud him.
I won the jackpot about 10 times in one day doing this when i came back another day they changed the settings
the arcade near me has one of these but the string is too damn short

I've actually done this a few times in a row, then the arcade got smart and shortened the string
At least he was honest lol
A quick tap with the hammer always worked for me
The ultimate mic drop challenge
It actually does work. I went to Dave and busters with my friends once and we won so much tickets with this hack
After all
"This Is a game of skills not strenght"

I did this and it worked. The reason is that you won so the game doesn’t let you win again for a while so you don’t get too many tickets
*him saying it’s cap* me seeing him hit jackpot.
Lmao it actually worked for me at my Dave and busters, 3 times in a row and employees just laughed at the jackpot 😂
My dad figured this out before the hack was popular. He spent a ton of time at the hammer game, and figured out that he had to hold the hammer a certain angle from his shoulder
the arcade he's at in this video is only a couple minutes away from me
Zone 28: let's name our company Zone 28. That one worker: nah let's name it area 52
I've gotten this hack to work during my last vacation. Its worth at least a shot in some of these arcades.
This is like when I played that one game.

I won that jackpot, too!
the builder of the machine : lol ima set it to like 5% chance of getting it
Most of the games in an arcade or something like that can have their probabilities changed. Something one of my managers taught me when I worked at incredible pizza
Why do i have a feeling that i watched this vídeo thousands of times but i didnt
this guy is the definition of "my voice doesn't match my face"
Also once the string reaches the peak the amount of extra force can cause tension which could could lead to different outcomes
I legit did this before knowing it was an actual hack, it literally landed PERFECTLY on the jackpot, but then a solid 5 seconds later it went down by ONE
BTW you can use your hand instead because it doesn't sense it as the hammer so use your hand guys it's so much easier

How to win the hammer arcade
*Imagine the target is the thing u hate the most n release ur anger until that arcade turn to dust*
i won this once by not even wacking but having the stck above the hit marker and slapping the stik
was a very kool moment for me B)
I actually tried this at my local arcade and from what I’ve seen, it does work depending on how the machines calibrated, mainly it’s the ones that have shorter strings however I did notice some variation from drops of the exact same matter so it is rigged as too not give jackpots every time
That game is also one of those games where the payout rate is decided by the operator
I have a story to tell believe it or not. One time when I was 12 I was at my friends bday party and we went to this machine first. I was really weak and skinny at the time and I thought you just had to hit it as hard as you could and it wouldn’t matter. So, with all my strength I slammed it and got the jackpot first try.
so the machine is rigged or you are just weak
@@shrekshrekno I was just lucky because my stronger friend hit it and he failed
i did it with a similar string length as the original vid and it worked
The Dave & Buster's that I go to the hack always work
I remember someone hitting it so hard that the button got stuck into the machine
This is actual science: you have to hit it on the end to get the max amount of power because it's kinda like a catapult
Everyone should thank gravity for this hack
An arcade near me also have whack and win...
But the twist is the whack button is made from metal...
We love you Matt!
I never saw it as a hack, but it works for me. Not on the first try, but within 5. My son loves it!
Me: Rages and throws hammer at the button
This hack works on my arcade, a guy showed it to me like 3-4 years ago. still works
I actually was able to only do this once but could never do it again
I’m sure it’s something that has to do with testing. Usually like a cheat code to test if it works. If not, then this is still equally hilarious
Plot twist: it actually wasn’t cap but it was different one that was more sensitive.
I remember maybe 1-2 years ago i was doing that game and everybody knows I’m weak since how skinny i am and when i had hit it i had hit the jackpot and i was so surprised along with other people. Nice cute moment 😊
We can all agree English is F tier, but Science didn't deserve to be trashed with it
Being a nerd is a good thing I love how you dance btw you are beautiful ✨
On your game, someone added more string. You could see the knot, but if you just lower it down to where the knot and you went automatically.
It actually does work I’ve tried this multiple times and got the jackpot I think it’s just that the setting on the machine is set higher than usual
It actually work you have pull the string hard then it forces back down cause u pulled hard and u win
I'm pretty sure the owners can set how often the jackpot is won so you can't win sometimes.
Man just throw it instead of letting go.
This is the hack.
It does work, some games length of the cord and strength intensity differ so it’s not every machine
As someone who worked at an arcade and this was one of the games, I can confirm this works. We were not allowed to play it around customers for that very reason because they would figure it out😂
Imagin fidias in an alterntive universe stabbing the hell out of elon musk when hes hugging him (top 10 anime betrayls)
if i EVER had an arcade and a machine like this, i'd actually make it hard to do.
I literally went out for bowling/arcades today and literally randomly remembered this trick, tried it, and actually won 1000 tickets
I have done this before and it works about 50% of the time, nifty trick to know
I found the sweet spot on how to do it so I'm good
Me and my friend levi discovered the best way to win the jackpot is just barely flicking your wrist. On my birthday me and levi played it multiple times and won the jackpot 3 times
Idea: Slam it with force and.letting go at the same time. (Like throwing.)
