Perhaps this is a bit similar
to the sweet grabber machines? In that the value of the prize you always win is less than the cost of the play?

The proper prizes are indeed 'rigged to fuck', like every variant on machines like this.

The only exception is when teddy prizes too small are put in the grabber machines. I won 6 Tiggers in one night at a harvest home.
