how much will this cost? Somebody's kid sucks at Skeeball

SAN DIEGO -- A San Diego mother of two has filed a civil suit against Chuck E. Cheese saying the popular children's attraction features games that are "illegal gambling machines."

Benink said if his client wins, it would force Chuck E. Cheese to remove all games of chance from their California businesses and to pay back all the money people put into those machines.

"The size of the damages is unknown at this time," Benink said. "Certainly it's millions of dollars."

"Under California law, it doesn't matter if it pays out money," Benink said. "What matters is whether it pays out anything of any value. In this case it pays out tickets, which are redeemable for prizes."

I suppose trophies, ribbons and citations are next. Sorry kids, if we give you a ribbon for that Science Fair project it's technically gambling.

People suck.

Kind of on a similar thought, I've wondered why they don't just place lottery machines in public schools. I mean, the kids are benefitting from the money, why not let them play and help pay into the system?

Good Lord.

If someone sues Chuck E Cheese it should be for the most God awful tasting pizza in the world. They would be a shoo-in to win that one. Of course, I go sometimes for my kids. The sacrifices parents make for their kids. Chuck E Cheese......bastages.

Somebody spent their paycheck in Chuck E Cheese and now thinks that they should get their money back. The mother walked her and her kids into that establishment on their own free will and i am certain no one forced them to play any of the games. These kinds of suits make me sick.

If she wins, they should pay her with tokens

They should have been sued over spider rings years ago.

Justice should be swift and painful.
