Obviously, it would kind of defeat the point of having to buy something first if you left the machine sitting there with 50 plays on it. The thing that amazes me, though, is that they honestly designed this machine to cope with the eventuality of someone putting 99 plays worth of quarters in all at once. WHO PLAYS CRANE GAMES THAT MUCH IN ONE SITTING?
Oh, but there’s an even better part: after I’d botched my one “real” attempt and started trying to lose on purpose I ACTUALLY CAUGHT SOMETHING. Poop indeed.
(Historical Note: Regarding that last bit, I has assumed the machine was idiot-proofed enough that it wouldn’t let you waste a token by dropping the claw if it wasn’t over the actual plushies. In retrospect, if the makers of a claw machine were actually worried about people wasting tokens, they wouldn’t build claw machines in the first place.)
