How to Beat the Arcade Coin Pusher

Coin pusher arcade games, a staple at funfairs and arcades, offer players the chance to scoop up winnings with a bit of skill and timing. If you're planning to try your luck on one of these enticing machines, here are some tips to help you maximise your chances of winning!

• Choose the Right Machine: Look for a coin pusher that's "loaded" – one with a full top shelf and an abundance of coins on the bottom shelf, ideally with some prizes teetering close to the edge. These machines are more likely to dispense coins and prizes.
• Practice Your Timing: Timing is crucial in coin pusher games. Observe the movement of the shelves and aim to drop your coin when the top shelf is "in". This increases the likelihood of your coin pushing off other coins or prizes.
• Be Cautious with Your Spending: It's easy to get carried away. Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it, ensuring you don’t spend more than you can afford to lose.
• Aim for Precarious Prizes: If your goal is to win prizes, focus on machines where the prizes are already near the edge. Targeting these can yield better results.
• Choose Narrow Machines: Machines with a narrower play area tend to have a better payout rate than wider ones. They require fewer coins to push prizes towards the drop zone, making your plays more effective.
• Assess the Coin Layout: Avoid machines where coins are piled up at an angle on the bottom layer. In these machines, coins are less likely to move, regardless of how many you insert.

• Know When to Move On: After a win, consider moving to another machine. Staying at the same machine after a big payout will likely result in diminishing returns.

By following these strategies, you can enjoy the thrill of the coin pusher game without the frustration of constant losses.
