The little dopmaine rushes when winning can be addictive lol. I spent a small fortune playing gashapon and claw games in Japan. Was great to win 'official' merch from some of my favourite anime.
Skill and (mostly) luck based games can seem unfair, depends on the operator's settings I guess. Glad they got something to take home at least, a cool one too 🙂
Yah I guess the bubble toys are the safest bet, take something home even tho its random but at least we know its from a series they like :)
