Line 9:
The '''Crane Game Gag''' is when a character has drama ensuing from engaging with an arcade game. It's fifty-fifty if you either get the toy or not. Only a specialist or someone who rigs the game can win. If the person wins, they usually have a system or a method. If they lose, [[Hilarity Ensues]]. They may become addicted to trying to win a toy. In the extreme case, they may either attack the machine or break the bank trying to win a particular toy.
This trope is very [[Truth in Television]], as many crane or claw games are rigged to encourage people to put in as much money as possible. Some governments have labeled them as a [[Gambling Game]] and restrict them accordingly.
This is a [[Sister Trope]] to [[Collectible Cloney Babies]].
