Stacker Arcade Game: You Earn Tickets, Not Pick Prizes Directly

Stacker (skill-based redemption) has no "prize selection" during play. You earn tickets → redeem at counter.

How It Works

1. Play: Stop moving blocks to stack them. Higher = more tickets.
2. Payout Table (Typical):
   • Level 1-5 (Low): 2-10 tickets
   • Level 6-10 (Mid): 20-100 tickets
   • Level 11-15 (High): 200-500 tickets
   • Minor Prize (Level 16-18): 1,000-5,000 tickets (plush, candy, small toy)
   • Major Prize (Level 19-20 / Top): 10,000-50,000+ tickets (console, phone, drone, cash card)
3. Redeem: Take tickets to redemption counter → choose from displayed prize wall/menu.

Winning Strategy (Skill, Not Luck)

• Rhythm: Blocks move at fixed speed. Count "beats" (visual or audio).
• Peripheral Vision: Watch block edge align with stack edge — not the center.
• Micro-Taps: Light, fast taps > heavy presses. Reduces overshoot.
• Minor Prize ≠ Jackpot: Minor prize (Level 16-18) is achievable consistently with practice. Major prize (Level 20) often rigged (payout % set by operator — e.g., 1 in 800 plays).
• Claw/Stacker Hybrids: Some drop prize physically — same principle: timing.

Pro Tip

Ask attendant: "What's the minor prize ticket cost?" Aim for that. Major prizes are marketing — cost/play >> prize value. Play for fun + minor prize.
