I get the whole need to make a profit thing, but they have such a minimal cost to acquire those items...it's a shame they have made it so difficult. When the adults are struggling, think about how difficult it must be for the kids. Greed can quickly become a downfall. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ vid though - always a good watch! 👀 - Brandon (from VA)

This is how our round1 has become too. Gemini big has a horrible pay out, almost non existent! The pusher games don’t push at all. They will definitely lose customers if they don’t stop this 😢. The licensed stuff is the stuff they are guarding with dear life haha 😂

Unfortunately yes. It has been so bad lately that we cant win at all. That is why we have been putting out "win compilation" video from old videos. We are doing fine on the few skill games they have left, but the Geminis and Fun Zones are absolutely unplayable most of the time. Looks like we just need to go to Tokyo and film like 6 months worth of videos lol. Thank you!!

We have been looking for more options but there just arent very many arcades in the area that also have claw machines. We may have to change our video formula a bit to compensate for the change in the machines. Still love Round 1 but things are getting very frustrating! Thanks!!

For a moment I thought you were at the Puyallup location. However the employees insist you are not playing right and never change anything there. I show them it does not work and they tell me to follow the instructions before walking away. Needless to say I do not play at that location anymore. Great wins on some hard games.

I know we have talked about this for some time now, but I think our locations are officially as bad as many many others. Still holding on to hope that this was a fluke.

I LOVE the fact that they have 12" Squishmallows at Round 1 now! I managed to win a Dustin the Dalmatian (in a devil costume) from a Gemini Big after a handful of plays. He's such a perfect size!

Love watching your videos! My Round One in NJ is starting to bore me, only Funzones and big claws. Only 8 working Funzones and they cost more than the big claws. I started playing skeeball and killing it with several 600,00 scores (100 pts each) I did win a small puppyroll and giant crocodile.

I love the bamboo panda and the Hello Kitty ram! That's how the Gemini Big with the yellow balls at my Round 1 is like. It always picks up and drops the ball. It has been like that since the beginning, which makes it quite frustrating.

I went to the round 1 near me and yeah I played so much money and barely got any prices so upset. Some employees stated they don’t know and can’t do anything to help makes no sense they saw the claw grab and drop it I put over 400 points in one machine to try and win my daughter a white bear.

the round one near me was horrible. gemeni bigs dropped the prizes before they got to the top and small cranes did not even pick up plush. there were 3 fun zone claw machines and they were super rigged and the plush was super stuffed in. Also had 2 big elaut claws that didnt pay out after 20 plays. just awful round one. also the claws were like 2.50 a play, spent 100$ and only one 5 prizes.
