【No. 2303】Kakuritsuki (確率機 - Crane Game with Probability Control): Part 1

Kakuritsuki: Part 1

Today, I played various types of crane games.

It was fun, but I struggled with some kakuritsuki (確率機) quite a bit.

In Japan, many crane games are unofficially known as kakuritsuki.

Since kakuritsu (確率) means "probability,' and ki (機) means "machine," the literal meaning of kakuritsuki is "probability machine."

In other words, it refers to crane game machines where the crane arm's grip strength is controlled to become stronger at a certain probability (or after a certain number of attempts).

When the arm's grip is weak, it is extremely difficult to lift and carry the prize, but after spending a certain amount of money, the arm's grip becomes strong enough, making it easier to obtain the prize.
確率機 Part 1

今日はたくさんのクレーンゲームで遊びました。

楽しい時間でしたが、「確率機」には苦戦させられました。

日本には非公式に「確率機」と呼ばれるクレーンゲームが多く存在します。

「確率」は "probability"、「機」は "machine" を意味するので、「確率機」の文字どおりの意味は "probability machine" となります。

つまり、クレーンのアームの握力が、一定の確率(または一定の試行回数)で強くなる制御を行っている機械というわけです。

アームの握力が弱い状態では、景品を持ち上げて運ぶことは極めて困難ですが、ある程度お金を使うとアームの握力が強まり、景品を入手しやすくなります。
