Here in this video I encounter two highly/frustratingly rigged arcade machines:

Lighthouse: This machine possibly has a payout rate setting of P12-7/8 (Approx. 1 Win in 300/400 Games). As you can see, when you hit the button with the needle precisely on target of the required number to reach the win level, if the machine isn't due to payout, the needle will skip over on the parameter of 1 or 2 places to prevent a win. Unfortunately this machine wasn't due to payout.

Pile Up: Frustratingly enough, this machine has got the "Minor Prize" (9th and 10th level on Pile Up) rigged! I am not sure what the payout rate for this exact machine is for either the Minor or Major levels, however Pile Up can be set as the following in terms of difficulty:

Minor Prize: 1:1-1:10
Major Prize: 1:20-1:800
*All of these are controlled by Dip-Switches unlike Stacker's electronic "Test" menu for both Minor and Major Prize payouts. I also believe the speed is dependent on machines age (newer is slower).

I was really expecting 'Pile Up' to be due to payout due to the cheaper angry birds as of compared to other machines.

Minor Prize was quite valuable compared to others, so I do kind-of understand why Minor Prize is rigged. Even though rigging Minor Prize really frustrates me!
