    Crane games, cut the rope games, key games, etc. are all basically randomized so that it's only possible to win 1 in x,xxx number of times, with the chance based on the cost of the game and the expense of the prize.

    If you want to win a crane game or one of the expensive prizes from those little snip the string games, keep an eye on the machine. The prize will only be gettable after a certain number of attempts, so that the machine owner is guaranteed to win a profit.

    The games aren't RIGGED per se, but you're guaranteed to lose if not enough people have played. That's why the crane hand is too weak to pick anything up, and why the snipper/key/whatever always misses.
