For those who dont know, its pretty much impossible to win anything from those, he is so freakin' lucky.

I was SO close to winning that mp3 player!!!!!!
at 1dollar a try(my area, anyway) you should definantly find out if this thing is at the mall before you go.
WTF is a stracker machine? Never seen one.
Anyways, **** dude! Lucky!
Stacker is an "Amusement with prizes" (AWP) style game manufactured by LAI Games. The aim is to align rows of moving blocks on top of each other by pressing a button. When a player gets to the top row, they win a prize. There is also a "minor prize" which costs significantly less than the price per play; the sole purpose of this is to get people addicted to playing the game and give the impression that it is possible to win a major prize. According to an operator's manual for the game, the approximate win per play ratio can be set as high as 1 in 800. On the last few levels the system appears to "cheat" by not stopping the moving block when the player pushes the button. These odds are maintained by a very short ‘sweet spot’ generated as the light is lit on and off faster than reflexes allow. This is to ensure the operator maximum profits.
Huh, too bad, no stores where I live have these things.
Those things are really really hard to win at!!!
Those guys are way way lucky!!!
Congrats to the guy but those machines are a rip off. Read the part about how it cheats at a certain level...
I know it cheats at the top level, since I played it at a bowling alley I used to go to. I was THIS CLOSE to winning a GBASP.
dang, what a lucky S.O.B.
dang, what a lucky S.O.B.
Tell me about it, Hammy! If this is in America, the Wii costs $250 + tax, and he got it for a dollar! How lucky can one S.O.B. get?
One lucky guy that kid is..
There is an arcade at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii that has about twenty machines like that or similar to that. There was one I saw that these Australian kids putting about $50 into to win a 60GB iPod
OMFG!!!!! HE WON A WII FROM A FREAKING MACHINET THING!?!?! HE'S SOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!!!! (Not to mention saved a lot of money!) :O!
I was one block away from winning a nice digital camcorder from a Stacker machine once. On 1 credit too.
