THOSE STUPID CARNIVAL GAMES! you know, knock the bottles down or make the ball in the basket...

I know theres a trick to the basket one but i forgot and i don't even know if its possible to knock down those bottles without some sort of luck in your favor.

anyone even try and play these?

We just had a carnival here and there were so many rigged games. The sign on one of the basketball games says "Not regulation rim". Nobody can read it unless you are standing in front of it lol.

More than I'd like to remember but one time I was on a roll I won 2-3 soft toys for myself :D

Hahaha they are ALL rigged!!!

Especially the ones that are like "oh get 100 shots and if you hit the star you win a giant bear!!!!" and you can take all 100 shots and not get close to the star :(

Yes, I've played those before. Some of them give you constellation prizes. I've actually won in the ball throw before. :)

When I get really frustrated with games where you have to hit a stack of cans or something, I just throw the ball really hard so it ricochets around, and eventually hits the stack!

Not that much. Carnival games on my country are relatively cheap but the games are so darn hard but I have managed to win some plastic toys and candies.

I have easily spent over 500 bucks. I might have a teddy bear to prove it. I cant stand those wierdos that just sit there and take your money. Its not fair. Has anyone even won a HUGE teddy bear?

I hate those lol, I thru 1, and hit the star, but they just said oh no... It doesn't count it's outside of the star and bla bla bla, while it was inside of it..

The ring around the bottles thing. I HATE THAT GAME!

It seems so easy! It also seems like if you had 200 rings, ONE would land, but nooooooo! I've played this game a few times and have never won. I have better luck catapulting the frog onto the lilly pad. LOL

I blow about 10-15 every time I go to a carnival. I don't really care about winning(what would I do with a giant stuffed animal), I just like playing them for sport. Its pretty fun most of the time.

I just enjoy the fun of playing the games, but they are way to expensive. If you could creat some crapy game and buy a booth there, you could get SO MUCH MONEY. Anyways, I ussualy spend about $20 each time I visit the Carnival.
