Play literally anything but the claw machines and skill games. The claw machines have zero strength. If you're familiar with these machines, that means that there's no way to progress unless the claw randomly gives out a perfect claw with full strength and no skill drop. While this is true of most claw games, these are some of the stingiest ones I've ever played -- you can easily play these machines 10 times in a row, dropping the claw on the prize perfectly, yet it will never have the strength to actually move the prize from its position. I've attached photos, but I also encountered a game that was literally unwinnable. Essentially, the goal is to maneuver a tube attached to a UFO catcher through a hole in an acrylic sheet. There's supposed to be a ring attached to a lever just below the hole so that when the tube passes through, it hits the lever, and a ring drops to the bottom of the machine, letting the operator know to dispense a prize. Imagine my surprise when I won on the second try, but discovered that the ring was not present inside the machine, nor was there any signage to indicate that the game was not setup yet. My theory is that the staff forgot to attach the rings w

We went to the mall and I saw all of these claw machines, and I thought to myself. How can I pass these up for my children? I purchased a card for fifty five dollars that gave us three hundred credits. Thankfully, my kids really enjoyed the games.Because the prizes here suck! Basically we got one mechanical pencil for all of our ticket winnings! The most expensive pencil i've ever bought. But I guess it's just the experience.

The quality has gone down thanks to them adding entire rows of “Easy Peasy” win machines with “prizes” that you can easily get at a dollar store, but for more expensive. They removed the skill based crane games and replaced most with the usual crane where you grab the yellow token and hope you win. This is unacceptable. I loved going and testing my skills to get my favorites, but now? Just 2-4 prizes are worth it while the rest is just WET WIPES and Cracker Jacks.

Well hello out there. Well back again, and all I can say this morning that we went to was huge. It's been a while since we've been here at this Plaza in the San Diego area. But we had one heck of a Time. This bowling alley that they're talking about, is not only a bowling alley but it is also a place where you can have birthday parties, and it is also a huge arcade. Did not expect it to be as big as it was. The service was good, the workers very polite and helpful, the place was spotless very very clean. And the food was excellent with reasonable prices. The boys had a blast at this place. If you have not been to this morning I suggest that you go. It is a two-story mall that is also well maintained. Lot of stores to choose from. Here are some pictures from the arcade, and Mall. Enjoy
