Chain Ban Arcade Games? If you're like us, you probably begged your parents to take you to Chuck E. Cheese's when you were a kid, and you may have even had your birthday party there.
Well, today's kids may be out of luck, if one mom has her way and shuts the whole place down.
San Diego mom Denise Keller has filed a class action lawsuit stating that the kiddie restaurant chain is operating illegal gambling businesses, Capitol Weekly reports.
But before your mind conjures up something out of "The Sopranos," consider that Keller is taking issue with what she describes as kiddie versions of slot machines, which she believes violate state and federal gambling laws.
"It’s just pure random luck in terms of spinning out a result," Keller’s attorney Eric Benink said. "That, we believe, is a slot machine as California penal code spells out."
An overreaction? We'd say so. But as every parent who's ever had to shell out coins knows, those games are a huge waste of money.
Do you think Chuck E. Cheese's should ban arcade games? What do you think of this?
