Haven't been to Chuck E Cheese's in a while, but I wonder if they've toned some of that down since moving from tokens to (optionally "all you can play" time-based) cards.
Back in my day, the slot machines and coin pusher games served as a lesson against gambling, since they ate all your tokens really quickly and you almost never won anything significant.
- ianhawes 2y agoI haven’t been to a Chuck E Cheese in at least 15 years BUT I have been to other “arcades”, including Main Event, and the trend for those has been make 90% of the games child gambling to maximize profit. It’s boring for my young children who don’t fully grasp the ticket concept and aren’t entertained by winning points. I remember the games of my childhood being much more about entertainment than they are now.
