Only 4 days ago I won an Ipod from a stacker in a local arcade, I managed to win Stacker yet again. Making that 3 major prize wins this year. Two of these wins in the same week.

A couple of days after the Ipod win, they throw in an Xbox 360. That had to stir up alot of intrest in that machine because only 2 days after that, I won it. Didn’t take long to hit that quota. If you’re wondering what I’m going to do with this 360, it’s probably going to get sold and added to my Wii purchase fund.

Win Chart:
1. Xbox 360 - March 15, 2007 - $4
2. Ipod 30GB Video - July 26, 2007 - $7 *NEW*
3. Xbox 360 - July 30, 2007 - $4 *NEW*

So with that said, I also have another tip regarding the quota in stacker. If you’ve read the first set of Stacker Tips, this will make a little more sense: Stacker is designed to only allow a person to win after so many people have played it and in this sense, it is rigged to a point. By requiring so many people to play the game until a certain number of plays has been accumulated the arcade makes money and *hopefully* you will be able to recognize when it is ready to give you a prize or not. That’s all covered in my previous article, but here is the new tip. Read the rest of this entry »

Background
Not so long ago, a friend an I visited the mall in Douglasville, GA to pick up a tux for his wedding. Right across the way was an arcade with a new game I had never played before called stacker. It took several minutes to figure out how the game worked and at $2 per play I was in no rush to send in my wallet in to the stacker shredder, that was until I watched some other play and give me the general idea. It’s very simple, stack the boxes to the top, and win a prize.

So after watching two others toss nearly $20 in plays into the machine, I decided to try my hand at it. First time, I managed to get to the minor prize and then accidentally hit the accept minor prize button. Well I wasn’t going to settle with that… So I tried again, got to the top, and won myself an XBOX 360 (Two $2 tries). Not a bad return.

So, I moved to Montgomery, AL and visited the mall yesterday and won a 30 GB Ipod Video after seven $1 tries (over 3 days). It was then that I realized that there are some Stacker tips you should notice next time you run into an arcade and are about to spend your entire allowance on a Stacker. I can’t guaruntee that it will get you that prize, but it will certainly help if you want to learn how to win the Stacker Arcade Game. Read the rest of this entry »
