I absolutely love piers, loved playing the one-armed bandits as a child, and as I call it the "claw" and 2p machines. Sadly the one-armed bandits are long gone, but the claw and the 2p machines still thrive.
So if you do go to paignton pier, please note you are going to be "RIPPED OFF"
and you are going to be "RIPPED OFF BIG TIME"
If you are happy to spend vast amounts of money to allegedly win a prize then good luck to you.
Its all about luck apparently, it is so not. I played the claw today and picked up a prize 3 times only for it to be dropped.
I spoke today to the manager of Paignton pier, who told me that the "claw/grabber machines give out their prizes on a % win he wouldn't say what that % was. He said he didn't know, but please note it is in the hundreds.
The 2p machines have magnets attached to the £5.00 notes.
So do let your kids know the reasons why they can't win the £1.99 fluffy toy they have just spent their pocket money on.... its a con... and no longer fun.
I appreciate the fact that everyone needs to make a living, and seriously Paignton amusement arcade is doing just that.
The only people who win are on a yacht in the Bahamas, ask the manager at Paignton pier that's where his boss is, "allegedly".
Have fun.

Didn't like walking along the Pier as you had to walk through to many slot machines . Unless you really are an Las Vagas gambler I wouldn't bother going

Some fun game machines, but the 2p machines were suspiciously stubborn at giving out 2p winnings. Lots of coins would drop from the top, the back of the bottom level would move, but the edges would barely budge. I don't expect to win big, but I also don't expect not to win anything. Odd.

Most of the machine appear to be rigged not to pay out anymore. Played the 2p pusher games. Put it £2 Worth of 2p and literally just 3 coins drops out. The sweets we did win were out of date, the toys/£5 notes are held on by Magnets, so even if you push them over the edge, they don't drop. The claw machines are full because they don't pick anything up, the fruit machine don't pay out. Do bother going here.

Currently here now, I have been to many arcades over the years but I feel this place is just one big con our little one loves playing the claw machine and you could see the claw releasing before even getting to the opening and also the 2p machines I am yet to see anyone get money back out. We spent a small fortune on them with no coins coming out and even other people commenting the same thing. I will not be returning here in the future as I feel this place is just one big rip off.

So many things wrong! The 2p machines were “rigged” against the players benefit by far more ways than other 2p push machines. I put in £3 of 2ps into one pusher and got absolutely no coins out at all. Plenty of coins could be heard falling off of the edges on my playing field but sounded like they were being diverted to a coin hopper rather than the metal coin tray by my knees.
Several of the games that you see elsewhere which offer three goes for a £1 were set to one go for a £1 and also the ticket payouts from many of the machines seemed very stingey and Scrooge-like compared to most other amusement arcades.
The grabber machines were all set to have no grabbing power what so ever and dropped everything long before the items got to the collection point. The difficulty is winning any grabber prizes probably explains why none of the prizes were particularly “with it” or “current” or “trendy”
The ticket eating//counting machines were also in a poor state of repair, with only one or two of the counting machines that we tried, out of 8 machines, would actually count tickets.
Truely dismal place - wouldn’t go back

Your very typical English seaside pier with fairground, slots, chip shop, ice cream, freshly made delicious donuts etc. Wouldn't say it was one of the longer piers but i guess it was average sized? No charge to just amble along it.

Didn’t think much of pier. We walked the length of pier and it was pretty much arcades every inch of the way.
I will say there was a very nice fish & chip shop at the very beginning of the pier. With seats outside or you can dine indoors with stunning views of sea. Dogs not allowed inside though.

The pier has the usual food outlets and amusements you would expect and has a very nice atmosphere. However we were disappointed in the price of some of the food, which was dearer than it should have been (even when considering its location). Also the 2p slot and push machines had been nobbled by the staff. Normally half the fun of the arcade is to pop in your 2p's, and then watch as you hope some get pushed off the moving levels and then drop into the catcher for you to collect. However on the pier, all of these machines had quite heavy objects near the point where coins get pushed off, which basically stopped any coins falling. This seems to be an attempt to stop anyone winning but it takes all the fun out of it. The fun and excitement of these machines is to watch the coins fall, which inevitably get put straight back in again anyway. However with the 'prizes' you 'could' win being in there (and witnessed to be placed very strategically by staff to stop lots of coins falling) really destroyed the fun element, which resulted in us spending less and leaving earlier than we would have done. I know a lot of arcades have additional bits to be won in these machines, but this was the worst we have ever experienced.

There's parking all along the sea front to each side of the pier which is available most of the year. During the carnival week it may be blocked off at times and on Weds nights the area near the pier is regularly blocked off for the Bikers gathering (BMAD)

Hi Steve, I would just like to reiterate the danger of the seagulls not just on the pier but even in the town of Paignton and surrounding areas. They have become fearless and brazen. We were sat on a bench and my Partner and I were totally shocked at the lightning speed with which a gull swooped and stole the whole of the hot dog he was eating. It happened in a flash; now if they are brave enough to do that to an adult goodness knows what could happen to a child. These are menaces in the sky and it seems wrong that they are protected. We even saw a total waste of resources with two fire engines deployed to rescue a seagull that had become trapped up on Alta Vista road in netting at the top of some flats. I would also like to add that I love Paignton, but people do need to be made aware of this real danger.

Hi Miss Stiltwalker, thank you for your comments, if you have time type in a search engine, "man attacked by seagulls Fined £80" thats me, i was unaware of the problem there and it cost me a fine, i want to warn others not only there is a seagull problem in Paignton but Enforcement officers there who want to make the council some money, Im not going back, Ive appealed against my fine and the Enforcement Agency and Torbay Council dont even have the courtsey to reply. No wonder seaside towns are in trouble when it comes to having few tourists visit

Yes there is a fortune teller on the pier, but she is only there in the summer months. She is on the right hand side as you go along the pier, she was also there last year.
