So I was sitting in an arcade yesterday with my friend, trying to win something else. Id already exhauted all of the bonuses on other machines, and was trying to win me a big prize from one of the most rigged games on the planet. So after wasting about 50 quarters, my friend says to me "Let me try". So I give him two quarters and he goes for it, failing VERY BADLY I might add. I feel bad for him, so I give him two more quarters, and guess what happens.

He strikes the jackpot. After two tries, he hits jackpot when I tried 50 + times to try and win..... So he gives me the brand new Gameboy Advance(which he said I could have) and in turn, I get him a prize with my gobs of tickets. The funny thing is, this always seems to happen when we go to an arcade. I get tons of tickets from various jackpots, he goes and wins a couple tickets, and yet when I fail at one thing, he comes right up and wins big.... Talk about luck.

So, anything like this happen to anyone else?

No... not really... although I do have a friend that I was playing Perfect Dark in... he had never played before... I knew this for a fact... because I just know these things. And I say I'll go easy on him, and I beat him the first time around... second time around he whoops my ass.

Then I go to Mario Kart 64... he had never played that either. I get a 36 on Mushroom Cup, in 150 cc, and he got like, 12. So then I decide to do it mirror... he gets a 36, and I get a 24

Then I pull out my dusty old SNES... pull out Tetris Attack... teach him how to do combos and such... and then I beat him up a lil first time around... second time around, he crushes me... he literally got an 8x5 combo... I still have no idea how he did it.

Conclusion: either my friend is a major hustler who's played every game in the world, or he learns every game he plays very very fast... either that or he is damned lucky... or maybe I suck

Heh, I still remember the times of...

Friend getting a new game. He plays that game for a week or so. I play that game together with him and after the 2-3 match I am better than him.

But after awhile he catches up again. And then I get the game myself and get's very good with it... but he have lost intrest in that game by then...

I have never gotten a jackpot at ANY arcade game.

My finest hour though, was beating the GOOD X-Men game they had, back in the day.

Yeah, it was nearly this amusement's closing time, so I try this grabbing machine a dozen times, aiming for the 50 pound bill. Parent's tell me we have to go, this guy takes over the machine and next thing I know, he holds that same bill. I don't mind now, I'm sorta rich anyway =D

Ill keep that in mind.

Yeah.... It kinda... odd when you try so hard to win something, fail, then not 10 seconds later, another person comes along and wins your prize in no time flat.

The main thing I remember about that game is Magneto screaming "Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" over and over again.

That, and for some reason Wolverine could shoot lasers from his claws.

Oh, and Collossus and his: "YEEAAAAAAAARGH!"

My standards were considerably lower at the time.
