"...according to an operator's manual for the game, the approximate win per play ratio can be set as high as 1 in 800. On the last few levels the system appears to "cheat" by not stopping the moving block when the player pushes the button. These odds are maintained by a very short ‘sweet spot’ generated as the light is lit on and off faster than reflexes allow. This is to ensure the operator maximum profits."

Yeah... of course. How else are they able to give thousands of dollars worth of prizes per week without suffering a profit loss.
Reminds me of 'the torment of tantalus' where tantalus is stuck and isolated on a lone island and because he is thirsty, he bends down to drink the water but never actually reaches it because it moves away from him. He reaches for the fruit but never grabs it because it raises the fruit away from him.'... He he 'tantalizing' prizes out there FTL!

Oh god I met that machine yesterday, it's so obviously rigged. I spent about $10-$20 on it. Every single frickin time I was on the last dot then it purposely goes one over no matter what I do. Then on my last $2 coin I pressed start and for some reason it automatically started to it put 1 in the right hand corner, then I lost on the next one. I hate that game. I shoulda just picked a $2 minor prize.

"Ha"? Why? I've had my DS muuuuch longer.
I can never win anything on machines. There's an arcade in the bowling alley which just lets you win money (it's one of those slot things where you push 10p down and hopefully more money comes out of the bottom). It's really never ever worth it. So I just play Air Hockey.
