On Changshou Road, Residential District I came across a shopping centre. Through the walkways there are rows of slot machines with flashing lights and music. This shot was taken at 8:55pm, after I decided to play the blue slot machine to win a stuffed toy duck. First attempt equaled no win. On the second attempt the duck slipped out of the claw crane. By the third attempt the claw came down, clenched my prize and with excitement the claw slowly approached the winner chute but then the power turned off on all of the slot machines at 9pm… game over! My toy duck was left hanging in position.
