The crane game, commonly called the UFO catcher in Japan, has the potential to be either the dizzying high or the abysmal low of your trip to an arcade.
Once there, we gave him 10,000 yen (US$96) and told him to put together the best pile of prizes he could with that investment.
With over 20 years of crane game experience, Yoshio has a number of techniques and maxims he follows, which he shared with us while putting them all to use.
Was Yoshio going to win the prize on his very first try?!?
Some employees will even give you suggestions about the best way to win a specific prize.
