Today we are at Jenkinson's Boardwalk we have quite a few arcades we are in the South Beach
arcade and we happen to catch it right it is happy hour half price games um we looked around
we're gonna focus on claw machines today because I already see a bunch of stuff that I think you
might be able to win and I mean half-price claw machines? Have you ever heard of that I don't
think I have so let's see if we can win big here at the South Beach arcade at the claw machines!
Okay this is crazy so it's usually two dollars for three plays but since it's half price it's
only one dollar for three plays so we're gonna play it a few times to try to get this
pink strawberry cow we're going for that one for a few reasons first I love cows,
second it's a little bit smaller than this ice cream sandwich cookie cookie ice cream sandwich
so we think it'll have a better chance of being picked up because it's obviously smaller and a
little bit lighter yeah so let's see how it goes it has little udders it's so cute. Button's a
little sticky I can't really press it at all. The beach has ruined everything. Oh there's a
secondary claw drop. Oh what a secondary claw drop button. Oh it hit the head
come on oh wow. I'm yeah I'm I'm committed here so these are Giga claws um which notoriously I I have
to imagine these are the precursor E-claws so once they start picking up it does well
okay I'm still feeling good about this. I am I you know. Let me show them the claw drop
button though. So it's only a dollar for three plays here I'm committed for a couple a couple
plays. I'm committed for at least nine plays. It's picking up really high I'm really hoping we might
get a casual win if it doesn't if it's not ready to pay out. Okay those are pretty cool. That was
our first three. So it's really interesting you swipe the card and then you can choose either one
credits or two credits usually two and four but this is happy hour it's only one and two that's
so crazy. I'm I'm floored at how fun this is already yeah how many credits did we put on our
card? I think 50 for $25 oh come on oh. Getting closer getting closer right now it's really cute.
It's the only one cow that's winnable too after this people are gonna have to go
for the ice cream cookie sandwiches. That was good
oh. Come on cow. All right one round one play left in this round. Okay
I'm feeling okay about it haven't lost hope just yet it's getting really good grabs every time.
Oh man it just has to start moving with it. Play six round two of credits so now we're
putting in our third dollar for three more plays after nine we really have to make a decision.
Okay come on. Oh it hit the head. Oh no our only not great grab. Oh
man. That's okay that's okay it's in a better spot now we have to have one
bad grab otherwise this wouldn't be a true claw machine video right? Right?
Oh it did the same exact thing okay that'll be better now. Oh with his little butt up in the air!
Okay fingers crossed everyone this is our last play I think.
Oh oh but it's so much closer now. Do you want to try it one yeah okay and then and
oh it's it's painful sometimes when you want something and I did see a child walking around
with an armful of plushies so I know this isn't impossible. In the grand scheme of things this
is only the fourth dollar we've spent on this claw you gotta think some other claws
are two to three dollars per play in normal operations so the fact that this we've only
spent four dollars is nice. I've spent a lot of money on a claw machine before more than I
ever want to admit. Definitely on Squishables too. Oh especially on some Squishables these
are expensive prizes though so it makes sense for them to have a bit of a high payout rate.
At least they were expensive like 10 years ago when I bought one oh no the ice cream cookie
sandwich. Oh man that was our last play oh we'll find something else. Very sad about the cow. We
might come back. Okay so this is uh the same same cost here and she's done the two credits for three
plays we have a little a fliptopus and you're gonna go for that shiny one right by the chute?
Yes. Okay all right we all believe in you I like these these are set up pretty high so it's not too
bad it doesn't seem oh that's a slow drop these are E-Claws now we moved over from the oh so we
got a little bit of a grab on it but ah. I was kind of hoping for the casual win since it is up
above the chute. Yeah it's above the chute and it just didn't pick it up very well and it's kind of
hard because the claw is a little small for this I'll be honest about it so it's not really gonna
go around the tentacles you kind of have to pick it up by like the head I guess of the octopus is
that the correct the technical term the body yeah sure we'll call it the body it's not the
leg so it has to be the body right? That's a great lineup oh see how it's moving farther
away. Going the wrong way. Going the wrong way there you go you got one more play on this round.
They just got so close on the claw behind us a little Mario claw oh okay
we all believe in you it's set up a little bit nicer now it's like since it's been picking it up
every time it has been like grabbing it and kind of setting it up oh oh that's a great grab Katie
oh no if you had like that every time it might have gotten a casual win what
do you want to play it again? Yeah I do? Okay one more time let's see I know this
this one is a little troublesome swiper Katie's trying to press a little button
like swiping it every time it's so weird oh okay so now it's set up because you kind of see it's
at an angle so you can see like yeah you kind of want to go back a little bit to try to grab it on
that angle but you don't want to hit the top of that yellow one man tricky tricky business Katie
hmm oh yeah good job oh excellent excellent grab oh. No terrible! What do you mean I thought it
was gonna be good picking that up from the back. But it didn't. It didn't do anything
uh are you you still going for that pink one? I I think this one's too close to the front. Oh okay
all right I disagree but yeah I mean that one's still technically closer I think I don't know
let's give it a shot and slow drop. That's more of what I wanted. That was that was beautiful Katie
and it's slipping yeah. Oh no. All right last play last play. I guess I have to go for this
one. you're gonna go for the purple one up here okay. Is it small? I think it might be slightly
smaller either that or it's just not as fluffy you know what I'm saying but yeah it actually
looks like a more correct size for the claw um okay. I went back just a little. Oh well
you went back a lot. No barely. Oh man that's a tricky one I at least feel like these things
are super tricky depending on the size of the claw and that one was definitely a tricky one.
We found an assortment of five inch Squishmallows
it's mostly Christmas um I think we're gonna go for the cupcake right here though which is notably
not Christmas oh it does say trades accepted so you might want to trade for that gingerbread man.
Oh yeah! Okay so if we do win this one there's a chance that we could trade um. Oh my gosh.
Spencer likes the little gingerbread man. I didn't want to hit the chute so I think that was all too
far back though. A little bit yeah. Okay. But since trades are accepted are you still gonna
go for that one or maybe this catacorn? Let me try this one more time because this is I mean
I think it does have the best location. Okay yeah I was just running through our options.
Okay. If this hits the chute I will go for something else.
It didn't and. That was a much better grab. Oh it almost tipped it in okay
we're gonna still go for that one. Okay so now she's back here a little bit upside down
um this claw's actually big in comparison and it could really benefit from some rubber tips to make
things a little bit easier to hold obviously we know why they don't but. Come on come on baby.
Hmm don't celebrate too soon. No I didn't celebrate okay. I was telling the telling
everyone in the chat. Should I put one credit on or two do you think it's at a payout rate?
Um I I don't know go ahead and hit two credits it's. It's 50 cents. It's 50 cents like I'd
rather have like a 50 cents insurance policy is not expensive to me. Um of course now I've broken
it there we go okay. The cow claw is calling at me. Oh it is literally. It's literally beckoning
me. It's threatening you? Someone else's, no beckoning beckoning! I thought you said it's
threatening you. Someone else is going to play it someone else is playing it right now. Okay come on
that was terrible oh it's kind of buried in their own no. They gave up on
the cow claw real quick. Okay okay we might have to go we might have to go back for it
I don't know. Ugh at only 15 seconds it does make me nervous too but yeah.
I know at least the claw's pretty fast you know what I hate is a 15 second claw
where the claw is like left. Okay so it's it. Right. Are you gonna go to Theodora?
No I'm gonna. Oh you're still going over okay I I thought you were giving up on her
what do I know? I don't know. Nothing I know nothing. You know everything.
I just wanted to say Theodora because I like that name. All right so I went a little bit forward
that was it. Santa don't get in the way. Oh it flipped it oh Katie what
do I do? Yeah do your third try do your third try. Okay third try.
Alright we got this. Yeah only because I've spotted little gingerbread back there
what about the llamacorn you didn't want the llamacorn? Oh you know what I thought about
it. I'm sorry if you like llamacorns I know we dis them a lot on here they're just not really
our favorite I don't really understand why a llama why a llama unicorn okay white llamacorn?
I don't feel like you're giving me a lot of help here. Um my help was to go for
Theodora. But that one's buried like behind the gnome. Okay well then keep going for
this one and um I wish you the best of luck. That's very helpful. The best of luck.
um
the bestest of luck I wish you all the luck I wish you the best of luck.
Oh thank you. It didn't think you won, it didn't think you won so it doesn't know it hit its payout
rate interesting. I don't think I'm gonna be able to pick up this Theodora in one though is the
issue. And an interesting observation. Yeah okay okay so yeah so we got our win here which is our
little tiny Clara yep but you can tell the machine which is an E-Claw so we know what it does and
it freaks out and the lights go all crazy and it didn't do that so I don't see anything here that's
super grabbable so I think we're gonna leave it but generally that would mean like another
guaranteed win if you could find something that's super easily grabbable. Okay with the
same pricing structure and a little bit brighter because we're actually in the front of the arcade
here we have a SpongeBob claw machine if we were to win we would probably trade it for Plankton
um. Oh the Squidward though is so funny these are all hilarious. Oh that's pretty oh I didn't
see oh you're running out of time there okay so Spencer's going for this Patrick because he's
his leg's already in the chute that was a terrible pull though um. There's a Care Bear machine next
to us too but I saw somebody walking around with one of those. Okay there is a SpongeBob
upside down here and I don't know if that makes them a little more open I'm trying to
uh kind of weigh my options not feeling really good about any of these to be quite honest
I thought for sure Patrick was gonna get in the way he did not no
mmm this makes you want to go back to that cow doesn't it? When you're actually getting something
picked up. That same Patrick one more time and then. I can't believe I saw someone walking around
with so many animals like what are we doing here today? I guess we won one thing at least
oh SpongeBob is all up in that yeah I didn't like this. No me neither. This machine was not for me.
We've been walking up to every machine and we've been like oh what do you like
better the avocado or the pineapple and then we realized you can just trade so
take your emotions out of this when you're playing a machine that like allows. It didn't give me
three. Oh how many did it give you just two? Okay. Oh man. We'll figure that out but oh whoa
and you're running out of time goodness anyway what I was saying was leave your emotions out of
it play for the prize that looks winnable what the heck don't play for the prize that you want
when trades are allowed. And I I mean I actually do want the pineapple but I think the pineapple
is more winnable based on the shape. This is uh a little bit less. Yeah you saw how well that picked
that up I don't know I think it might be too far to the right now okay we're gonna have to go for
this avocado okay it was too far to the right. It is a pretty small claw all things considered but
it really pulled on that that was kind of a wild grab look at look at that it's like it's lifting
up a hundred pound weight or something. But you can like watch it lose the strength as it comes
up. Well yeah it's obvious these obviously weigh close to 100 pounds is what it looks
like. Do you want me try one more time see if it works? I I do yeah I I mean this was pretty
uh unique claw in the sense that it like pulls up for so long okay one two four oh okay well then we
got the one we lost. No I think it's it says oh yeah you're right. Ten credits for three plays.
Okay so that's fine the machine fixed its own issues wow I can't complain when the
robots do it themselves um okay let's go here. Thank you robot, that was bad.
Yeah okay. It has to pick it up by the. By the butt? Is it the bottom of the avocado I don't
know I'll be honest with you guys my mom just texted me and she said uh picked up some fresh
avocados for you. The claw didn't reopen when it it didn't drop it and reopen it. Now we're just uh
oh what is going on oh the little compressor thing looks like it's just going out we are
um I don't know what we're doing anymore so okay let's go let's go
pick it up it's really heavy. It's already dropping. It's so heavy.
Wow it got stronger though you could tell it got stronger. Okay I don't see why I haven't
had a reason to not I mean I know these things are kind of heavy like they're definitely on
the heavier scale of things but oh there's like one Corgi down there actually oddly enough. Oh
wow I pushed it down pretty substantially yeah. Oh now it's kind of flat what do you think you
think you can try to weasel it around this? I wish this was in a more winnable position
because this is obviously lighter with a pineapple I don't know we're running low
on credits so. You have your one credit back. Oh that's right. He thinks I'm talking about putting
more money into this machine I'm like you gotta play you've got a credit I'm like you gotta at
least try something. I can't go for that. Okay go for the avocado before we run out of time.
Okay. Yeah let's see.
That's a great grab. Look how heavy it looks oh no now it's kind of in okay okay we're gonna
walk away from this one. Okay we're almost out of credits so we're back at the cow so I think
we have five credits left so it's uh two for three plays one for one play so we should get
seven plays if we need it hopefully we don't need it um maybe we'll just get the cow maybe please?
We want it! I can't believe half of this video was us with this cow.
Um over half the video is us with this cow so if we don't win it people will be sad for me
but um there are other arcades here and maybe they also have the cow
um why is this like our thing? Why are these round Squishable animals like so hard for us
when oh that got its face that was not good that third grab so out of the set of the three the
third one is always like the strongest which is so weird all right yeah okay here we go this is the
two credits so three tries here and then we'll be able to do the one credit for one try afterwards
but good value because it's half price so I can't complain too much okay so we've got three total
tries left two that we've paid for someone else is clapping clap from me when I win this cow
because we're gonna win it right? We're gonna win it. Wait that stupid avocado
is in this machine too. Hmm oh yeah it is you can see down there. Okay this is
number three let's get a good grab at least. Not feeling positive about this anymore if
you remember the beginning of the video I told you guys how positive I was feeling
I am no longer feeling super positive I am feeling the opposite of positive. This is it. Oh.
I did not get a grab all on that one. Opposite of positive oh no uh no this is the last try
Nope. No. Man. Goodbye friend. Bye cow.
That wraps it up for us at the South Beach arcade and then I got our one little win
here I traded for the little the little guy I do love my little gingerbread man so overall
a lot of fun that happy hour is definitely like it's half price special right now it's
from 2PM to 4PM and that's definitely like when you need to come because everything
was so cheap I mean I had a ton of fun and for only like 20-ish dollars even though we
only got one win I think we still had a blast so I would definitely recommend it
but definitely only during that happy hour because that just makes it all worth it.
