Timing Trick for Tower of Tickets

This simple timing trick mentioned above is the most important to know. 

Provided below is a diagram to help you picture when to hit the button. You will be standing at the bottom of the image. The ticket pucks will rotate clockwise.

You may need to move your body towards the other button to get a good angle. Line up the big 1000 ticket puck with the “I” found in the “Win” above the button to your right. 


  • Obvious tip: Go for the large 1000 ticket puck, everytime. 

Sometimes you will accidentally get another ticket value when going for the big one. That’s just a bonus! But keep in mind this next tip if you win another puck on accident.


  • Know that after you win any amount of tickets there will be a delay when the arm comes down on the next play. 

You finally master the consistent Tower of Tickets timing strategy and you win that elusive 1000 ticket puck. Wait for the machine to eject the puck back into the play field. Remember, the next swipe on this machine will cause the arm to swing down much slower. So the timing with this trick will be off. 

The machine does this to discourage back-to-back wins.

You can try your hardest to win by timing your button press a lot sooner. It is extremely hard to win back-to-back 1000 ticket pucks but it can be done with practice and knowing how much the arm is delayed. 

If you miss on this second attempt then it is no big deal. Your next play will have the normal timing from the first tip mentioned above.

  • The timing of hitting the button when the puck you want lines up with the middle of “Win” can be slightly off depending on how close the puck is to the middle of the machine or to the outside of the play area. You will need to adjust the timing, but not by much. 

For example, if the 1000 ticket puck is closer to the middle of the machine it will be harder to scoop with the arm because of the longer distance into the win slot. The timing will need to be sooner if the puck is in the middle.

A puck on the outside will be easier to get and the timing will need to be a tiny bit later than the “I” in “Win”. Maybe closer to W in this instance. 

Practice by playing these machines will help with this small adjustment in timing.
