Those balloon arcade machines

[Printlover23]

Spotted one of those balloon arcade machines in a local arcade looks like they use Q16 you meant to inflate the balloon until it pops by pressing a button as a light spins around a wheel. When the balloon pops you get a jackpot and ticketd dispense. Surely the guys would have spare balloons around for the machine. You guys think they'll spare some for me even if i offer some money? I cant really get Q16 atm.

I saw a similar one in an arcade a couple of years ago but it was with a 36", pretty cool!

You can buy the balloons from the manufacturer...

If I had a thousand-some-odd dollars I would buy one...

Re: Those balloon arcade machines

I actually saw one yesterday. Never seen one before that. The neck was all the way inflated and looked ready to pop.

There's one of these machines in an arcade that I commonly go to, now I am very phobic of the bang normally I can't stand it but I love this game, I just love the suspense of it I love watching the balloon get tighter and tighter it gets me excited then when it pops it does scare me I do jump but it gives me such a rush, I've got the instapop button many times hehe

Re: Those balloon arcade machines

I've never seen one. Are they loud?

Re: Those balloon arcade machines

They are quite loud but being encased in glass does muffle the sound a wee bit. There was a big sticker on the glass saying "this machine pays tickets" probably letting people know they dont give out balloons wish I asked though but I'm socially inept lmao

Re: Those balloon arcade machines

Have you ever tried to negotiate with them. So instead of using the tickets for the regular prizes you could get a balloon or two? I am actually going shopping in Brighton this week and I know they have one of these machines on the pier so I attempt to give this a go.

Re: Those balloon arcade machines

Unfortunately not, I am simpily too scared �� besides there are plenty of other ways to get what I presume they are (q16).if you do try let me know how you get on ��

Re: Those balloon arcade machines

They didn't give me any! they said they can't exchange tickets for balloons from the machine. Its as a bit awkward but who cares, I found a party shop in the centre of Brighton so i managed to for fill my craving.
