Ones like this were really easy to win. You drop the nickel or quarter* straight onto the second to last platform. A quick twist will usually work, but if you don't mind dirty looks from the employees you could tap on the side of the top twist knob to "nudge" the coin. This is easy to control and makes it trivial to win, but takes a little time and makes an annoying rattling sound.

*My experience is that dimes are too light weight, which makes them very unreliable for winning consistently.

Ya, me and my friends had rules created at our tbell due to us winning so much. One of my friends was very brazen about it and would get change for a dollar then win 4 burritos. New rule: 1 win per visit. I would win a burrito but ask for a taco. New rule: no exchanges. I think someone got told to stop shaking the spinner up and down too lol.
