True dat, Daisyjane. The food is the danger.
This woman's claims are absurd. I could pay her $5 million lawsuit with the money we dumped in those crazy machines when my son was young. Today, at 27, I don't think he's ever even bought a one dollar scratch off or stepped inside a casino, except perhaps to eat at the buffet. LOL
Kidding aside, the logical solution is either stay away completely, or more reasonable and fair to the children, make it a learning experience. Allot a nominal amount of money to each child, and tell them in advance how much they can spend. Once it's gone, it's gone. No arguments. It's a good way to teach them that fun comes at an expense, and it has limitations.
