This also worked in the USA. By the 1990s most arcades operated on proprietary tokens rather than coin currency. Many had skill-gambling machines that had sliding rows covered in tokens, that you would try to dislodge with your own tokens and keep what was displaced.

The "Jungle Jive" version of this would dispense tokens out the opposite side of the machine if the electric ignition of a cigarette lighter was used to lightly shock the metal intake slot. If you clicked it too much too quickly it would go into an alert mode. While this could be accomplished solo, the ideal MVP setup was a team of three: one scout to watch for employees, one to click, and one to collect.
