Chuck E. Cheese

It is always a funny experience for me when I go to this place for kids. I can't help but sit back and observe all the future gamblers of America, my kids included. I am always reminded of Vegas when I go to Chuck E. Cheese. Just like the casinos, they have bright lights to give that illusion of daytime at 9:00 pm. The flashing lights, bright colors and loud noises to attract attention makes you want to know whats going on with the next person. You can't tell those kids that those tickets are not worth money. You sit there with that blank stare as they try to win as many tickets they can so they can get that cheap little toy or a piece of candy they could have purchased 10 times had they just went to the store and purchased it with real money. Did I mention the "Let's make a deal game" that even I got mesmerized to watch three kids play and challenge the banker to win 40 tickets and all three continued to turn down the deal to walk away with four tickets,( one of these kids was my daughter) With all this said, people wonder why gambling is the booming business?

Last time I was in there it seemed like there were about 200,000 kids in that one room. My head nearly exploded. Between the kids screaming and the machines making noise... WOW! My daughter loves that place though. The one thing I really like about it is their security method so you dont feel so insecure and nervous about them running around a public place like a maniac.

That is true, there are not to many places as a matter of fact there are none at any other places for children. So Kudos to Chuck E.
