Out of all the times I have been to Great America I have never seen anybody with a PSP or a WII in there hands. I know they probably bring it back to there cars, but really have you ever?

Probably have because I've seen the prize change this season already. My friend today won the crane game with the silver boxes that have a number that matches to the prize you get not sure how though.

I've blown atleast 10 bucks on those Zipper Lighter games, which are very similar but probably easier than the win a Wii game.

I have not seen one person win. The game is clearly rigged, so after a certain amount of money is put in, the prize is giving out, but chance is still a factor even then.

I tried to zippo lighter game, and I did not win ever. I spent well over $20 by now.

Also some places will change the prizes, or take the prize out of the box to act like someone won, which when people go back and play, will play to think people have won a prize, so why cant they.

Any chance game at the park will be rigged, so beware.

I believe it is illegal for chance games to be rigged in the state of Illinois.

Those games are such a waste of money. Just like at the carnival.

I have won one of those games. no joke i won a psp from the drop a key game.. my friend was there and saw the whole thing. i had $1.50 in quarters after lunch and stuff and just tried it for fun and i won a psp. when i took the key and box to get the real psp the guy looked shocked that i won so i doubt it happens very often. well worth the $1.50.. it was in the county fair section of the park some machines are easier than others...

I tried the one under that roof in Yankee or was it Yukon? The one with the Wii system in the case ontop. I tried it and hit one of the boxes but not even the metal could move it. It was like it was almost super glued to the plastic/glass. It was weird. I decided not to waste my money on it. No, I haven't seen anybody one a wii in those machines even though I've won a prize in one of those machines before but it was nothing big.

^I've played that too with a lot of "dang it,Almost had it!" scenarios.Kind of makes you think after a while of playing that game if it's really possible to win it, but then another poster said they've won one.

We have an arcade near my house and they have those game units as well that use the same method of winning the prize. I play the ones near my house every now and then and i've won prizes from them, at least 3 times since i've played them, but they are the cheap prizes. So, i guess when the more expensive prizes are in those games, they are going to make it as hard as possible winning those prizes which in some cases it seems impossible.
