Sign in to disble this ad
just read this on a local news site
"A San Diego woman is suing the company that owns Chuck E Cheese.
Denise Keller claims many of the games intended for children are actually illegal gambling devices and can be addicting.
According to court documents, Keller is asking for a jury trial and restitution of at least $5 million dollars.
In her complaint, Keller says the arcade games are like slot machines because you insert tokens, and get tickets for prizes when you win.
Attorneys for the company responded saying the games are not illegal under state law. They have filed a motion asking a federal judge to dismiss the case."
I knew it. Chuck E. Cheese is the root of all evil. And i just thought it was horrible pizza. She wants a jury trial and $5 million in restitution? really?

I don't know if there is any booking agent willing to work with them anymore.

Me and 2 friends decided to rig the skee ball machines by tying a quarter to a string. They called the cops when they found out, the MD State Police interrogated us in the back and we got banned.
Never been in. Chuck E. Cheese since. Moral of the story: Don't f*** with Chuck.....
