Kiddie Gambling



I dropped $10 on tokens (got a special deal of 80 tokens!) at Chuck E. Cheese. I had "guy time" with Harrison last night at the mouse house. While I was there I noticed something interesting. First of all, there is very little available for grown ups to do. However, the point is to have fun with your kid and do kiddie stuff - so that shouldn't be a problem.

Some kids really get into playing games to win tickets so that you buy junkie toys. But, I noticed two men last night who didn't appear to be with any kids. (If they brought their kid - they must have been in hiding from the giant Chuck E. Cheese guy.) These two fellas were on ticket rich machines and working them like nickel slots in Vegas. They were intently playing by themselves and the machines were spitting out tickets in a mad frenzy!

Chuck E. Cheese is secretly owned by Donald Trump for the purpose of getting kids addicted to gambling so that he can make money in the future off of his casino. If putting a casino in this area will get these two Chuck E. Cheese junkies off their knees staring at a kid's game and into a big boy place - then I am all for it. Not really. But, anyways, I thought it was funny. It would be one thing if there were man toys available for ticket purchase.

Any thoughts on what would make a great man prize at Chuck E. Cheese and how many tickets it would cost?

I vote for an IPOD NANO for 5,000 tickets...
Maybe a MACH Three razor for 750 tickets...

Any other takers?

Addicted to skeeball,

They have a big boys Chuck E. Cheeses out here called Dave and Busters (D&B) It is awesome they have prices like boomboxes and leather jackets and mp3 players..they have a full bar all the games you play are new state of the art technology . A 3D helmet old west game was my favorite. It wasn't too pricey either..when you and the wife come out to see us we can do dinner there with the kids...good times man. And if we win enough maybe we can get a mach 3 razor to share. What the??

Bowling is a man-sized skeeball game.
