stacker

i did some research on the Stacker Game Machine that you'd find in arcades, the ones where you stack the blocks up in hope of getting a ps3 or some huge prize.

turns out that the machine has a set win frequency rate. like 1:800 chance of winning at the last block. only the last block is rigged, and after the set number of times, the machine would let someone have a chance to win. the number may vary, depending on the arcade.

so to all you people out there who keep going back to the arcade to waste all of your money on stacker, it's probably not gonna work if you've reached the last block once and still dont win. i've been to the arcade with a few friends who learnt it the hard way, and instead of having fun, it's just disappointment! haha, but there're some people who do win! like rovik, he got his psp from there. so i guess he was the lucky one who managed to get past the 800 tries before him!

moral of the story : play daytona. :D
