I've found the average is about 36 cherries, so assuming perfect gameplay (which isn't too hard), you should score about 360 in each game. All the rest is luck, and it's EXTREMELY rare for a game to even give the opportunity for someone to beat 410 points.
The point is, my score is beatable. Whether you think it is hard to beat or not, my score is not the highest, so until someone gets the highest, there is no problem.
I have never played that game before, I have no idea how many blossoms come out on average, I just play the game.

I agree with Laryxler that changing the arcade so that tied scores count towards BOTH peoples' totals is the way to go. It required just as much effort or luck for Laryxler to score 410 as it did you, just as it required as much effort or luck for Blake to get the maximum score in Leopardy as it did me. It shouldn't matter who did it first.
A
Win requires you to have the
highest score in the game or
beat the person's score who has the highest score.
Although Laryxler has 410, he did not beat my score, which
is possible for the game. He and everyone else still has a chance of beating my score. If I had the max. points, the game would be in the same postion as Leopardy.
Leopardy requires you to memorise the answers and then just keep playing until you get the bonus questions at the right place to maximize your points. There is no skill involved, just luck in picking the right questions.
As it is a capped score, which was reached, there is no point in anyone else playing it. No-one can
win against the game but the first person to get the max. points.
If the game setup was different and everyone that reaches the capped score wins, then it makes it fair. But only when capped scores are reached, all other tied scores should not be counted.
