Teenagers find ingenious way to beat arcade machine


These crafty teenagers have devised a method to always win tickets from an arcade game machine.

Popular game show ‘Deal or No deal’, broadcast on Australian TV between 2003 and 2015, release a spin-off arcade game based closely on the show.

At the start of the game, 16 briefcases are shown open with their contents visible (points between one and 800). The cases are then closed and rapidly shuffled.

Normally, it is impossible to follow the case with the highest number of points, but these teenagers film the shuffling on their phones and then quickly review the footage in slow motion so that they can determine the position of the winning case.

Armed with this information they then proceed to select the correct case and make the optimum deal at the end.

The filmer writes: "The teenagers play a number of games, and then got their tickets counted which ran into the thousands. Finally, they trade their vouchers for a major prize."
