"Fun Time Master- Claw Machine"

Hey there, anyone here who is still having fun playing with claw machine? Or perhaps accompany a kid in playing in an arcade. Oh wait, this what I am referring to.

How to play? You just need to buy a token, a money or what the arcade requires. Push the joystick to move the "claw" in order to pick up a stuffed toy you desire. Then lift it up as in order to win, you need to bring what you have picked into the "dropping area" . In which it will lead to the small door usually found at the bottom left corner of the machine where you can claim your prize.

So that's it, has anyone tried this? Honestly I did try playing this before but I ended up getting frustrated as I never win. Yet my sister, yes the one I am telling you about in my previous article who Discovered Hidden Talent During Pandemic was a master or let's say a PRO in playing at claw machine.

My title says " Fun Time Master" as Fun time is the arcade name in one of the malls in our place at Iloilo. This is where she usually plays as she was still studying at that time. She is telling the tricks in order to win but still I can't win even one stuffed toy. Usually, we will only pay for the token and she will be the one to play.

Make friends with all the crew.

Since she is somehow addicted to playing at fun time, she would save some money from her allowance or would ask some money from us. She always end up winning several times and almost took all the prizes ( it is not a big claw machine or arcade).

Because of it, she was known by all the crews and sometimes they would even give some money to my sister in order to play for them. After that they would get the prize from her after their shift. Crazy right?

See how many she got from the claw machine in just one play?

Not only that she was already " famous" to all the crews of fun time but even to all " pedicab drivers " outside the mall. She was a familiar scene to the point she also made friends with them. There were times when they saw her carrying some stuffed toys, and they would ask some from my sister Akish for their daughter. If they have extra money, they would give her to buy for a token and claim the prize after. They are confident that my sister gonna win.

Akish, being a soft hearted, would sometimes leave the Fun time with several toys in her hand but would end up empty handed when she reached home. She said she can't say no to those pedicab drivers who are asking for a toy for their kids.
I know she knew how it felt, we also came from a poor family and our parents could not afford to buy us a toy before.

I actually wanted to share the photos of what she got from the claw machine but my article might be flooded . Instead I only attached this.

These are some of the toys she collected. Opps, sorry for the photo bomber. It was my nephew's head. There are still some not included here as she gave it to the kids as a gift last Christmas. Others were brought to our house in the province. 

NOW, would you believe me that she was indeed a MASTER? I forgot to tell you she is also good at school. She was supposed to run for a Cum Laude but failed to ace due to health reasons. She undergoes an operation which makes her unable to report at school for weeks and one of her professors didn't consider giving her special exams.

You might be wondering why I suddenly shared something about her. Well it's her birthday this coming Monday, May 9. She will be turning 24years old but for us, her older siblings seems she is still in her teenage years.
She chatted today in our group chat on messenger that I should buy her a cake and I should write about how good she is at playing. So demanding, (kidding). 

Chat says: Dewanie, buy me this cake.

Yes, Dewanie was me, it's my other nickname but only my sister calls me that. It was far from my real name.

So yeah, just a cake on her birthday, lol!

This is my sister @Jumper-01 , she might be turning 24, yet she is still always mistaken as a teen since she is so petite. Sometimes it was advantageous on her part

What do you think? Is being a petite advantage or disadvantage?
