I have been thinking for a long time that all the redemption machines are basically kids gambling.
It was only a matter of time before somebody made a complaint.
How much money have kids wasted on cheap Chinese lollies in those pusher lolly machines?

Exactly.

I went to one of those kids play centers and it had a number of the "skill testers". A friend on me leaned over the table and said "these money grabbing pieces of junk are just kids' pokies..". One of the kids won a small rubber soccer ball. All the other kids wanted one which created the scene of parents all diving into their wallets and purses. One of the "claw" machines is not a gambling device, but I can see both sides of the story on "Road Trip".

It was the same play centre as the South Park pinball that was broken, and probably still is broken, but the coin acceptor obviously works !
