  • my friend does this but doesnt want to tell me the secret to doing it... when the penny is going in what do you do to it?? do you flick it upwards?

  • Essentially, you have to sort of "bounce" it in on top. Practice, practice, practice.

  • errr i dnt get it use two fingers coin betwen and push in and out?

  • No, push UP, bounce the coin off your fingers into the slot.

  • @tye3333 Not if you buy them on Ebay... $10-25 every day!

  • We were doing this back in the late 70's into the mid 80's. I used to play "Carnival", "Zoo Keeper" and "Space Invaders" all the time on pennies.

  • yeah...i've seen this done. Takes a little practice, but once you get it it works very well. I dont think it will work on some of the newer machines....but it does on the older ones. But hell...most arcades are full of old machines.

  • its a nice:) i'm so trying this!

  • Haha look at Tails spin around. I've actually got this to work, problem is, arcades are dead around me. The only one where I can get this trick to work is at one of those stuffed animal winning crane games, and I don't even feel like winning a stuffed animal for a few pennies.

  • I would, but this isn't my video :/. I found it on a torrent site a few years ago, I don't even remember the source to be honest. If I ever do get the chance to, I'll re-film it on my own. But it's not like I can go "Hey, I'm gonna rip off your machine, and teach thousands of people on youtube how to do it too, mind if my friends and I film here?"

  • I've done it. I have heard some theories though, that higher-end, electronic coin boxes will not work, but in my experience, it will work every time.
