How the Tipping Point machine really works amid claims show is 'rigged'

Over the years the Tipping Point machine has caused controversy amongst viewers and some people have come up with some wild and mind-blowing theories. The show is hosted by Ben Shephard and it has recently celebrated being on TV for 10 years.

Throughout the decade viewers have watched on the edge of their seats as the contestants try and win £10,000. However the biggest mystery about the series is, of course, about the machine.

As for the game itself, it is pretty simple, with the contestants answering questions and as they get one right, they get to put a coin in the machine. The counter will then push some counters out of the machine and each counter out of the machine wins the player £50, reports The Mirror.
