Quoted from pinball_keefer:

We definitely highlight the fact you can win tickets and when you get them during the game. We have changed the software so that tickets are goal-based not score-based or extra ball-based or replay/special-based. The game doesn't even show you a score, it shows you how many tickets you have won that game.
Maybe someone will get a video of it from the show.

The problem is Pinball is too hard for the redemption market. Let's face it, these kids suck at pinball. Very few are going to be able to complete any goals and they just don't have the patience to learn. Redemption works on luck and the fact that no matter how badly you do, the game spits out a crapload of tickets.

Quoted from desertT1:

Not entirely. I see kids put in token after token to get 2 tickets every time. That doesn't get you anything at the counter.
One of my boys likes to play skeeball. That's fine since it takes him a while to throw the 9 balls and he is getting something more than pushing a button out of it. I don't really care that he isn't getting many tickets there because he is enjoying the game, not the tickets.
On other machines, I've told them a few to not even try, or they have figured it out. A token down a ramp to get a single ticket gets old if the kid has any smarts at all. These things are basically coin-op babysitters and most parents don't care what amount of tickets the kids get out of it. I use them to teach my kids about comparing what is the best way to have fun, get tickets, or both. My kids tend to leave with some/several fun smaller prizes. Other kids I see, I know exactly how they will be spending their Social Security check in 70 years, pumping it into a machine in a casino.

I don't see this at all with kids. The redemption games that they play no matter what spit out a bunch of tickets(at least 20 or 30). Its about the tickets they can hold in their hands that makes them feel like they are good at the game. The more skill involved, the less they like the game. Two tickets don't cut it for them. Your kid is an outlier. You should be proud.

Quoted from vid1900:

I could see them outlawing Crane games (they are gambling, there is no skill in a Skill-Crane), but Internet Cafe too?
Raise your hand if you want more government in your lives....

I think that if the general public knew the truth about crane games and some other rigged redemption games there would be quite the public outrage. Most people see it as a game of skill. But I don't really get the internet cafe ban.

I really hope I'm wrong and this whole redemption pinball takes off and leads to a revival.
