Last time I was there with kids (which was a few years ago now), they had already started to migrate away from rolls of tickets for some games. Instead, you got a receipt-like printout that represented a certain number of "tickets". So, instead of getting 42 tickets, you'd have a receipt with a barcode that said "42 tickets". It's all very similar to casino slot machines with their receipts.
While this doesn't quite have the satisfaction of tubs of tickets, it is significantly easier to manage for the parents. And it makes it more possible to save tickets from multiple trips for larger prizes, should your kids possess the appreciation for delayed gratification (mine never did at that age). But I will say this -- I don't think my kids or their friends had less fun with the transition away from individual tickets.
