But then they will want you to stick around counting when the machine will start to give away a toy. That will take much longer ...

and if it's a newer crane (less than 10 years old) counting won't work anyway.

Why is that, Fozzy? New electronics built in designed to stump the would-be sucker, err, I mean, player?

Remember the "Play til you win" candy crane games? They were awesome, I'd put my foot in the door where the candy gets dropped, so the sensor wouldn't go off, then just keep getting more and more candy. I guess that's why they don't have them anymore.

So basically these are gambling machines, nothing more. Granted the payouts are 3 year old stuffed toys that smell like cabbage, but still. Why should I have to fly to Vegas or New Jersey to legally gamble when any kid can do it at the local Chuck E Cheese's! :laugh2:
