Fozzy The Bear:

They're actually not all like that one.......

The three cranes we have are computer controlled..... So much so that you can tell them:
1) what the average cost of the toys is.
2) how much you want to get for them.

The crane itself then works out how hard to grab and when to slacken the grab strength and counts the payouts to ensure that it is only paying out the number of toys you want it to. It also includes randomizers so that the method of counting the number of times between payouts doesn't work. In fact they can payout three toys in a row then nothing for ages then another one toy then a smaller gap then two toys...etc etc... You get the idea.

StephenH:

So these things are more like slot machines that pay animals than true skill?
