I tried to profit at an arcade

What a dumb idea

I cannot imagine the employees reaction to seeing this grown man come to the arcade three days in a row, to play the same game, to buy the weirdest prizes. I hope Drew is a story spread amongst the employees for years to come

If Drew never makes another video again, we know why 💰💰💰

I worked as an "Arcade Manager" in college. Yes, you can profit! The secret is owning the machines. You're welcome 😊 🙏🏻

Two things from an arcade employee- 1. The reason the game counts the tickets so slowly is because the card reader has to communicate with the headquarters of the card company and then send the tickets back to the arcade. Where I work, it has to communicate from South Carolina to Missouri back to South Carolina. 2. Maximum payout is actually a very poorly worded anti-glitch mechanism. The machine stops giving out tickets at a certain point so it doesn't give out unlimited tickets. You just have to let an employee know, they swipe their card, and it overrides the maximum payout notification and gives you the rest of the tickets.

I read the title as “I tried eliminating an elected official”, I was SO confused after 20 minutes

In today's episode: Drew narrowly avoids a gambling addiction

As a dad, I do love the card system for efficiency purposes. But as an arcade lover it makes me said that my kids won't experience the rush of tickets spewing out of a machine.

I wonder if that free 30 minute play card could have been used to raise the jackpot by losing on purpose every time

Imagine being the arcade worker and having to watch the road work guy come in for three days straight, go apeshit on one single machine, buy the most obscure prizes, and never return again

looks like Drew finally realised he can write off expenses on his taxes…

me and this girl went to an arcade for our first date and we bonded over your video and spent about an hour playing that stupid ball game. that girl is now my girlfriend. thank you, danny.

The decimal is there to make sure you never exactly use up all the points you bought. A very effective psychological tactic to entice you to re-up.

i love how drews strayed from the format of "talk about bad content" and now he just fucks around

“I love you now” Never forget that this is Amanda’s world and we’re all just living in it

7:02 "theres just something about cubed meat that makes me feel like im being given my rations for the day" made me think about the video where him and amanda eat the squares

drew talking about his "profits" at the end is the epitome of girl math and i'm so proud of him for that

the fact that Drew and Amanda put their bowling names names as "Me" and "BimBim" (their cat) is hilarious to me

That arcade worker must think Drew is the biggest incel on the planet coming in two days in the middle of the work day, absolutely killing it in a meaningless game, and then cashing out a hot dog toaster, man cave sign, and avengers mug.

I work at a Main Event and let’s just say, there is no profiting. There’s one dude who comes in around once a month and just plays a single game (milk jug toss, and he’s really good at it) as many times as he can and has accumulated 2 million points (what you use to redeem prizes) and even he tells me there is no profiting, he does it as a way to give back to the community by giving away all of the prizes he wins to little kids. Main Event is a children’s casino but the only thing you get as a reward of spending your hard earned money on is a Frozen Elsa sing along microphone that will probably break in 2-3 business days
