How do these people survive.

After years of vague curiosity, this made me finally look up the bulk cost of these.

Now it hurts even more to think about.

Ps. And yes, I know there is no Dumbo in the pack I linked - its not worth that much of my time

although it is amusing to see you can get 10%/20% etc licensed toys mixed with random chaff - smart money spinner, considering how often "Disney/Barbie/RandomNextFad" tastes change.

Don't repeat their mistakes. The easiest of lessons to learn.

I thought about this. There are situations where this is true, but also situations where it isn't. Those being where people are so ignorant that they don't even realise they failed at life.

These machines are a tax on the stupid, we need more of them.

Government should run them, we'd get all our benifits money back.

Now we're back around to the people I'd like to cull

Technically, if these are gambling machines, shouldn't they be in the 18 and over section of all arcades and not out on the front where under 18's can play them?

Ethically, maybe. Legally, no. Licensing laws regarding gambling are not necessarily consistent. I don't know what they are for grabbers off the top of my head, but they're not covered by the usual gambling machines regulations. I don't know if they're covered by any regulations at all.

Replace cull with educate and I'm on board.

One skilled person in, one moron out would be my policy.

Well hell, I was wrong. I didn't know they were cat D machines. Good. They should be.

Where would you send them though? I think it's unfair to burden any other countries with our morons.

Australia. Don't worry, they won't notice

Whilst it's a ridiculous article and she's silly for spending that much I'm kind of on her side. These aren't skill machines, it doesn't matter how good she was with the claw the machines are set to deliver a prize after x amount of money goes in. The arcade have set it ridiculously high and it's essentially a scam at that point.

Unsure on the legality of deporting Brexiters.

That is indeed one way of looking at it.
