Im with Pinsanity on this... go to SunnyBank Plaza on the weekend, the arcade is absolute chaos!
My boy loves his DS etc... but he loves those tickets too... nothing like winning something even if we know its a piece of crap
i spent $70 two nights ago, to walk away with $10 worth of shit from the arcades thanks to tickets, was a great night out with the missus, the place was packed. i dont care about the fact i spent $70 for a few bits of cheap crap, i did after all had a fantastic time the crap toy is a bonus, thats why its good for pinball imo. give some one that little bonus to play it. and the pinball should be more popular than the other games because at least the pinball is fun to play.
anything with a ticket machine had a person attached to it.
