Yeah, I know they are a waste of money and set you up to lose, but I like to play a few while I'm at the park anyways.
What are some of the best games to play for the best prizes? Any hints or tips on how to win? What are some of the best prizes available?
The three point shoot-out over by demon drop seems to be about the most fair. I can't tell if the rim is regulation size but it seems to be.
the climb up the ladder ones are tough but can be done. You have to keep your weight centered and walk up right foot, left hand, right hand, left foot.
I like to try to get a stuffed animal every time I go to a park, just as a souvenir. If that is what you are after, the skeeball inside the main arcade building along the main midway is your best bet. The prizes are not huge, but they make nice souvenirs. If you play skeeball, STAY AT THE SAME LANE! I found that different lanes have different weight balls and different "handling" on the ramps. If you stay at one lane and spend a few bucks, it is likely that you will be able to get used to the balls well enough to get a prize. If you are interested, there is a great little book about amusement park games called "The Secrets of Amusement Park Games Revealed" that you can get for a few bucks off Amazon. If all else fails, you can always buy one from a gift shop.
