A joystick moves the key structure left or right, and a button raises the key once. After 30 seconds, releasing the button sends the key toward a prize frame.
The top row has expensive items like iPads, headphones, or cameras; the middle row has prizes worth 3,000–6,000 rubles; the bottom row has prizes worth 300–600 rubles.
The machine only allows a win after a fixed number of attempts. For an iPad Mini 4 at 30 rubles per game, you need about 1,500 attempts, meaning 90,000 rubles in total.
The key intentionally lands on top of the frame. If the machine decides you shouldn't win, the key continues moving for a couple of seconds after you release the button.
Prizes often stay inside for a long time, so you can keep trying after others have failed. If a prize disappears, don't try to grab the new one that replaces it, because many attempts are still required.
Don't spend more than 1,000–1,500 rubles at a time. If the key constantly catches on the top of the frame, the machine is wasting your money.
Watch the key as it approaches the frame. If the tip is lower, keep trying because it may not rise on release. If the machine stops immediately after you release the button, you are very close to winning.
The machine is designed to profit from players, but you can reduce losses by reading the key's behavior, setting a budget, and targeting prizes others have already 'warmed up'. The most reliable strategy is to treat it as a game, not a get-rich scheme.
