I tried to break every rule at the arcade to see if I could win the biggest prize in the room: an Xbox Series S worth 120,000 tickets. Armed with all kinds of ridiculous cheating methods, I tested arcade basketball, soccer, water gun games, claw machines, milk jug toss, coin pushers, punching bag machines, air hockey, and more.
From a pulley rig on basketball to a pressure washer disguised as a water gun, this turned into a full-on arcade challenge, prank-style experiment, and ticket hunt all in one. Some games were crushed with absurd setups, some barely worked, and a few ended in total chaos. By the end, the ticket count was close, but not quite enough to claim the console prize.
If you enjoy arcade challenge videos, cheating at arcade games, ticket redemption runs, funny gaming experiments, and over-the-top carnival game hacks, this one is packed with high-score attempts, prize machine strategy, and chaotic comedy. It’s also a great pick for fans of arcade gameplay, ticket machine videos, and impossible prize challenges.

00:00Today I will be cheating at every single arcade game out there with the goal of getting the high
00:03score on every single machine, using methods like bringing my own devices to manipulate the
00:07basketball and skeeball game, using a sledgehammer on the punching bag game, and even bringing my
00:11own water pressure hose to use on the kid's water gun game. So yes, I will be breaking every rule,
00:16testing every limit, and most importantly, gathering every single ticket I can with the
00:20goal of purchasing the most expensive item in the arcade. Will I succeed? I don't know,
00:23but that's the fun, so let's see what happens. Okay, so I want to identify what the highest
00:27ticket prizes here in the arcade. I'm guessing it's going to be some sort of electronic,
00:31so I'm looking for like a game, maybe like a game console. Oh, this has to be it. The Xbox
00:36Series S,
00:38120,000 tickets. It looks like nothing else comes close to that. Okay, so our goal for the day is
00:43simple, get 120,000 tickets. I don't know what that equates to, but it's probably $120,000 just
00:48given the ticket equivalents. Okay, we have our goal, so let's go ahead and play. Okay, guys,
00:51the very first game we're going to cheat at is arcade basketball. So this is the arcade basketball
00:55game right here. I'm going to first play it without cheating, and then I'm going to show you
00:58the mechanism I'm going to use to cheat, because it's going to be insane, and we're definitely
01:01going to break some records. So just to establish a baseline, this is the score if a normal person
01:05plays. All right, let's do it. I'm kind of nice at this. I might not even need to cheat.
01:1725 points in 45 seconds. That actually puts me ranked eighth on the day, and it's the end of the
01:23day, so actually not too bad. But now watch to see what happens when I pull out this thing.
01:27Because I have right here this pulley device with a ball attached to it, and I'm basically
01:30going to go back and forth over the sensor so I can get the maximum amount of points. Look
01:34at this thing. So if you go to an arcade, make sure to bring your own fishing rod, because you
01:37can probably break the high score and get the jackpot's worth of tickets. So you can get the
01:41most expensive prize like we're about to get at the arcade. All right, so first, make sure nobody's
01:45around. And then let's extend this out and let the games begin. High score, 25 for me. I think
01:51it's like 35 or something here. Let's beat that. I'm coming for the Xbox.
02:01Oh my gosh, we're getting so many. I already broke the score that I got last time.
02:07Look at this. Look at all these three-pointers.
02:11Oh no. Get back in there. Come on, Will Chamberlain. Let's get to 100. Let's get to 100. We want
02:16the high
02:16score. 100 points. Can you do it in a single game? They said it can't be done. They said it
02:21can't be
02:21done. We did it. All right, let's go for 150. Oh, I think 150 is doable, guys. Yes. 150. We
02:29did it.
02:29Oh my gosh.
02:38192, guys. Smile.
02:42Answer your nickname. I will. If you guys see this arcade, I'm going to mark my territory. And now if
02:46look at the high score. Oh my gosh. We got 12.5 thousand tickets for achieving that high score.
02:55Tickets owed. Look at that. We're already basically 10% there. And we only played one single machine,
03:00one single game. So far, I think we're going to be getting this thing. So I do think things are
03:04looking pretty for us. But let's move on to the next game and cheat. I found a score on the
03:07goalie game.
03:08It's a soccer-based game. And I figured, wow, we have this giant stick. Let's see if we can manipulate
03:11this game and win the high score. So right now, the high score on this machine looks to be racked
03:16with 20 goals. Pretty impressive, rack. But you do not have this device. I wonder if it's going to
03:19let me or some anti-cheat kicks in. But let's go ahead and play and try to beat 20 goals.
03:23All right,
03:24here we go. There's no way this lets me. Right there. Oh, it works. I'm like Ronaldo in his crime.
03:32Bro, rack is getting destroyed. I feel so bad. Oh, oh. I'm going to hit him with the buzzer beater.
03:38Three, two, one. Oh, extra time.
03:49New high score. Well, guys, if you have a 20-foot pole, you too can get the high score on
03:55this
03:55soccer game. I'm sorry, rack. I crushed your score. 23. I have to enter my initials so you know that
03:59I
04:00was here. S was here. All right, I'm not sure how many tickets it gave me, but you guys are
04:08going to
04:08see that right here. This is the ticket count. We need 120,000. Great start. Okay, guys, this next
04:12game I found was the water gun game. It's the carnival game that you'll find in arcades. And
04:16you'll see that this nerf stream is actually pretty strong and would typically guarantee a win so we
04:21get the high score. But I don't trust it, so I brought my own water gun. But the cheating here
04:24is
04:25that mine isn't really a water gun. It's a pressure washer. So this thing is like 200 PSI water pressure
04:31thing to clean off patios and stuff. And I am bringing it here so it has a jet stream so
04:35I could
04:35easily beat the person next to me. All right, so I don't want anybody to see me, so I'm going
04:38to sit
04:38down and act like I'm using this nerf blaster right here. But little do they know, let's see
04:43how strong this thing actually is. I have not shot it yet. Oh my gosh. This thing is going to
04:51break
04:51the thing in the back. Look at the difference here. Look how weak that one is compared to this.
05:00That has to be a high score. How many tickets do we get from that? 100 tickets for that performance
05:05right there. And you know what? I'm also going to clean it off a little bit while I have this.
05:11But now you know, if you bring a pressure washer to the nerf blaster game at a carnival,
05:15you will definitely get the high score. All right, we're racking these tickets up,
05:17but let's keep it going. I found the grand prize claw machine. And since we're going for the grand
05:20prize, I figured I'd stop here and win a little grand prize before the big grand prize. And I have
05:25a way
05:25that I'm going to cheat at this, but let me show you how it works first. Claw machines, as you
05:28guys
05:28know, put in your credits, use this little thing to move this giant claw around. And then let's say
05:33you want this nice looking fruit tootsie roll. Come here, toots. Typically, that's how it goes.
05:41Because these things are rigged, and so I'll be bringing justice to all arcade goers by using this
05:45device right here. So I have a little snake that I'm going to put up this claw machine area where
05:49it
05:50deposits the toy. And then it has a reverse claw right here that's going to grab the toy, and then
05:54we're
05:55going to bring it back. Yeah, there we go. There we go. We're in. We're in. Who wants to get
05:59taken?
06:00It's like Red Lobster. Give me your hand. Come with me. Come with me. Come with me, tootsie.
06:07Come with me, tootsie. Let's go. Oh, we almost got tootsie. Oh, come with me. Let's go.
06:15All right, I'm over those tootsie rolls. I actually want one of these sunflowers now.
06:22Oh, I think we got it. This is insane. Wait, how many toys can I get using this thing? Okay,
06:32I'm trying this one again because I'm determined to get Miss Tootsie. Or any of her friends,
06:37honestly, including you. Come here, baby. Come here. He's so stubborn. Oh, get him. Bring him home.
06:48Bring him home. Bring him home. Bring him home. Bring him home. He's been a bad boy. He's been a
06:54bad
06:54boy. He wants to come. He wants to come so badly. Oh, but he's right there. Get him. Get him.
07:01Get him. Bring him home. Bring him home. You're coming with me. Bring him home. Let's go. Jackpot.
07:10Woo. Finally. Let's go. All right, so if you bring a flexible snake, like something that a plumber
07:17would use in your sinks, you can actually reverse engineer the claw machine so you can get your own
07:21free toys. I don't recommend doing this. It's probably illegal. All right, so this didn't add to our ticket
07:24count, but it did add to our prize count, and that makes me happy. Next up, we have the milk
07:28jug toss,
07:28which is just an aerial version of skeeball, and the goal is to get that jackpot in the back,
07:32which is 1,000. So I'm first going to play without my cheating device, and then I'll show you what
07:36we're going to do afterwards. So obviously, the high score here is 5,000 because you get five balls,
07:40and 1,000 is in the very back, and not many people can get 5,000 because it requires a
07:44level of
07:44precision that not everybody can do. But this is what it looks like if an average person plays. All right,
07:48here we go. Nope. See what I'm saying? It's rigged. Nope. Nope.
07:57Not bad. Not bad. I have one ball left. Nope. Okay, so I got a 1,200, which is about
08:043,800 points
08:05off from the high score. So let's change that. Bring in the 72-foot PVC pipe, which I'm going to
08:12use as
08:13a little funnel. I'm going to put the ball in, and we're going to roll it into the high score.
08:20So
08:21so let's play ball. I hope this works. Oh, fits perfectly.
08:31Two for two.
08:42Let's go.
08:45The sirens are going up. 5,000. That is the highest score,
08:49so we get to collect the bonus on this machine. Let's see if you got a big payout here. Okay.
08:53Well, all that work for 75 tickets. We got 12,000 on the basketball game. We have to correct the
08:58record here. As we were wrapping up recording, it looks like 500 tickets is what was giving to us.
09:02So 500 tickets, actually not too bad. So you guys have probably seen these coin machines before at
09:06arcades, and they're basically impossible to win because the coins are actually on like some sort of
09:11angle that makes it nearly impossible to get a bunch off. So let me show you what a normal
09:14playthrough looks like, and then we're going to cheat at this thing. And as you can see,
09:17the coins are not falling. And when they do fall, it's probably like one or two.
09:24Oh, here we go. Here we go. Oh.
09:28And I'm already out. Oh. All right. So we ended up getting a couple there,
09:31but that's not as good as we can do. And so I brought a jack here that's basically going to
09:35lift up the machine, so then we could dump all the quarters towards us. Okay. Here we go.
09:39Oh. Let's keep tilting it until we get some coins.
09:51Oh.
09:53I don't have this thing to tip over. All I want is a couple of coins.
09:58Oh. Oh.
10:00We got some. Okay. Now that this thing is tremendously tilted, let's see how many quarters
10:03I could get.
10:07Already getting some.
10:12I'm racking it up here. Look how tilted this machine is right now. I don't want to break it,
10:16but we've been getting a ton of coins with this new method. And they're just some simple jacks,
10:19some hand jacks that you could get. I definitely don't recommend trying this because it's definitely
10:23illegal, but it does net you a lot of coins. A lot of arcades now have this sink it game,
10:27which is basically beer pong, where you try to throw the ping pong ball into the cup. And usually
10:31get 30 balls to make it, but I brought reinforcements. I brought in additional 40 balls. We basically
10:37have 2.3X of what they give you. And I'm just going to dump them in all at once, and
10:41I'm going
10:41to see if we can just get every single cup. Okay. I have all my balls placed in here, so
10:44I'm just
10:44going to throw all these balls at once and see what happens. Not bad.
10:55And then last, I'll be honest for this one.
11:03Always have a backup final ball. If I make this, you have to subscribe.
11:12How many tickets is that? 40? Well, that was not worth it, but know what happened? We had so many
11:18balls, it jammed the detector. So we didn't realize that we were throwing more than 30 balls. Okay. So
11:22that didn't add too much to our total, but overall still a good way to cheat at this game. As
11:26long as
11:26nobody's around. Okay. We made it to everybody's favorite machine, the punching bag machine here.
11:30If you got the high score, which I think is a thousand, that's like never been done before. I mean,
11:34this machine looks like it has 933 as the high. So I'm going to try to beat that with just
11:38my normal
11:38fists, and then I'll show you how we're going to cheat at this game. All right. So let me first
11:41show
11:41you how I normally am without anything, just so we can establish a baseline. I think I previously got
11:45around 750 at a fair one. Feeling a little weaker today. It's end of the day. Let me just do
11:49a normal
11:50punch just so you can see what the average is. All right. So about 633. One attempt right there.
12:01Not bad. Let's bring out the cheat stat. Hulk fists. Look at these things. These things are
12:04absolutely crazy. They're meant for punching too. They're like brass knuckles effectively. So let's
12:08see if we can beat 633 with these on. Oh, we better get thousands of tickets from this.
12:15Oh, that felt good. That felt good. Oh, let's go into the 700s with the Hulk fist. I brought a
12:21one pound weight that I'm going to hide in the glove. So upon impact, there's an extra layer of
12:26muscle that's going to hit this bag. And let's try to beat 706. Okay. Here we go.
12:34Oh my gosh. 776. It's blinking because I feel like that's a high score. Oh no. Okay. So I'm
12:41somewhere in like night territory, but that is insane. But what if I told you I have something
12:45even crazier that's probably going to break this record by far? I brought a sledgehammer. I'm going
12:49to try to hit this thing as hard as I can with this sledgehammer and hopefully we could break 776
12:53and get some tickets. Definitely do not try this at home. This is very dangerous. Only use your
12:58fists. It even says here, this machine can cause physical harm. Now imagine you add in the sledge
13:02hammer. The arcade asked us to be safe. So they are giving us one attempt with this, but we only
13:06have one shot. So I'm going to try to get past the 933 high score that you see right there,
13:11but I only
13:12have one attempt. So hopefully I at least get higher than like 500. Okay. Three, two, one.
13:20I got too scared. I was going to break this machine. Look at this path. In order to hit
13:23it guys, I'd have to basically go in. All right. I see why they only said one attempt. Don't do
13:28this. Last attempt here. I'll take it. We beat our high score previously. Just as I said, we're going
13:42to wrap it up. I found a soccer version of it where you could hit the bottom. Let me do
13:45a little bit
13:45of a golf swing here and see what we get. Wait, what? One? Are you kidding me? I got one?
14:02The next arcade game we're going to play is called Down the Clown. You've probably seen
14:06this game before. The goal is to use these red balls to knock down the clowns right there,
14:09and then you get points for it. That was pretty cool. And so I'm going to play first just to
14:12establish a baseline. Then I'm going to show you this cheating device we have, and we're going
14:15to rack up a lot of tickets. It looks like the highest possible score you could get is
14:19250 or so. We're going to crush that. But first, let's try to play normally, just so we know
14:23what we're dealing with. Don't panic, no. Oh, that's going to leave a mark. Slow it down,
14:31hurt you, Lee. We're waiting. Come on, give it another go. I got 80. All right, that was
14:37pathetic. I got 10 tickets. I'm using this extended stick, and so look at this.
14:44I am getting so many points.
14:50Did I beat the game? There's no time left, and every single one is down. Wait, 30? I think I
14:54broke the machine. I got so many points that the machine broke. It registered 30, even though I
15:00got, I don't even know how much I got. I probably got 250 minimum.
15:07All right, well, I think I broke this machine, but I almost certainly deserve to have the
15:11maximum tickets. It's giving me zero tickets right now, so I don't know what happened, but
15:15that's pretty crazy. It's actually a very good device to bring if you could sneak it in. Makes
15:18it hard to turn, though. All right, let's see another game. This next arcade game that we're
15:25going to try to beat is Ticket Roulette. So I'm sure you've seen these things before, Wheel of
15:29Fortune style. You just sort of spin this thing, and then it gives you an arbitrary amount of
15:32tickets. There is a jackpot on this thing, so I'm going to literally spin this, or I'm going to have
15:36somebody spin this machine until we get the jackpot, and this thing has a lot of tickets,
15:40like thousands, so we definitely need this. Things are going to add up. Just for good measure,
15:43though, let me go ahead and do this once. Monster jackpot. That's what we want.
15:55Not a bad start. All right, so I'm going to plant somebody here, and let's see my tickets we
15:58ultimately get. The next arcade game I'm about to cheat at is a classic air hockey. So typically,
16:02you play like this. Let's say you're not any good. Well, forget this, and instead, we have this air
16:08blower right here. We're going to use this as my paddle, and look how strong this thing is.
16:14Not in my house. So this could be impenetrable defense if you're playing air hockey and want to
16:18get all the points. I don't know how many points I could get playing air hockey, but let's find out.
16:21All right, my hit first.
16:35It just stops it dead.
16:39Nothing can get passed.
16:42It just stops it dead. Okay, guys, I ended up winning two to nothing, so I don't know how many
16:47tickets I get because it's just on one card, but we're going to put the tickets right here.
16:51Using an air blower on air hockey is, in fact, a good defense mechanism. I'm going to blow my hat
16:55away. Let's play another game. This arcade game is called Hyper Pitch, and the way that you win is
17:02by getting the bullseye in the back. That's that times 32, but instead of throwing the ball,
17:07even though I just got it, to try to get it multiple times, I'm going to use this contraption
17:11right here. So I'm able to pick the actual ball up and then just place it against the bullseye.
17:14What can go wrong? Okay, here's my arm.
17:261,000 miles per hour?
17:32I threw that ball 4,000 miles per hour. I just set the high score at 6220, so that is
17:38now the score
17:39to beat. And even this other machine wasn't even close to it at 4,000. So in my first attempt,
17:43I was able to absolutely decimate that record just by using this machine. I can't believe it
17:47registered that throw at like 4,000 miles per hour. How many tickets am I going to get? All right,
17:51we're going to add 651 tickets to this total. Here we have Wack-A-Win. So this is the thing
17:55that
17:56you see at all carnivals in which you swing it as hard as you can with the goal of getting
17:59the bonus
18:00500 tickets at the top. So I have my sledgehammer right here with the Hulk fist on it,
18:04so then I don't break the machine. And let's see what I get. So what was that? Way too hard.
18:12I think I broke the machine. Oh, it's a game of skill, not strength. Sorry about that. All right,
18:17let me try once more with that in mind. I thought I had to cheat at this game. You don't
18:20even have to,
18:21you just have to get to like the perfect amount. So let's do this the right way because we still
18:24do need some tickets. So close. Let's try this. Ah, short. Okay, so this game you are unable to
18:38cheat at. The only way you could do it is if you have like a fixed position and you understand
18:42the
18:42exact power every single time. So I'm going to take my five tickets because we have a lot more
18:45tickets we need. So I have to figure out a way we're going to get these. I'm going to be
18:48honest,
18:48guys, the monster wheel is a complete scam because I had somebody play there for one and a half hours
18:52and not once did he hit the monster jackpot, but on the bright side, it did have a lot of
18:56tickets.
18:56So it was quite common to hit the 250 ticket jackpot. So it did rack up quite quickly. Okay,
19:01we're running out of time and we don't have the full amount of tickets yet. So we have to play
19:04a
19:04couple more games. I've actually had people playing games on different cards and we're combining all
19:09the tickets. And if my math is correct right now, we're at about 119,000, which means that we are
19:14a
19:14thousand tickets away from getting 120,000, which will buy us the Xbox. Let's go ahead and play one more
19:19game just for good measure. And then we're going to see if we have enough tickets. This is going to
19:22be the
19:22first game that I play honestly. And I think as long as we get like 200 tickets or so, then
19:26if my
19:26math is correct, we are going to have enough tickets. Oh, I see. Oh, bonus tickets.
19:35Oh, this is fun. Feels like a Mario party minigame. I don't even know how you would cheat at this.
19:40Oh, it's getting hard. Okay. I got a hundred tickets though. Actually great value there. So
19:47I think we probably have enough now. Let's go check. Okay. I'm not going to check our balance,
19:50but we've been here for hours and I just went ahead and combined all the balances onto one card.
19:55I told the attendant not to tell me how many tickets are on this single card. So we're going
19:59to find out right now if we're able to buy the Xbox. Please. We've been in here for hours. We've
20:04tried everything. I had people doing everything at all times. We should be there. All right,
20:08here we go. I guess I just bring this over. Okay. So we want to see if we have enough
20:11tickets now
20:12from being here for hours to get the Xbox Series S. You have 112,000.
20:24You want to get one of those? I'll take this please. Thank you. You know what? I just want
20:29to fact check just to make sure I don't have 120,000. I am so positive I did.
