No Machine Shaking

🎰 Game Meaning & System

The strict rule prohibiting physical violence against claw machines. Worshippers must never shake, push, hit, or tilt the arcade cabinets to shift items, as advanced tilt-alarm sensors will freeze games and trigger staff.

📜 Cultural Origins

Claw cabinets are equipped with sensitive digital anti-cheat sensors. Physical vibration damages delicate gear motors and scales. Modern glass cabinets activate a deafening siren if they detect standard human-forced movement.

🚨 How to Play & Taboos

Even if the plushie is hanging by a single millimeter, simply hold your breath and do not touch the glass cabinet. Shaking the machine will immediately freeze the credits, flash yellow alarms, and lead to instant arcade expulsion.

落ちそうだからといって機械を揺らすと、センサーが反応して店員さんに怒られますよ。 / 筐体に強い衝撃を与える行為は、器物破損になる可能性があります。
🔊 Even if it looks about to drop, if you shake the machine, the sensor will trigger and the staff will scold you. / Giving physical shocks to the cabinet can be legally treated as property damage.
