A great sales tactic for amusement parks, theme parks, or even at the fair is those "possible but impossible" (purely by luck) games they offer! If you win, generally you'll receive a cute oversized stuff animal that the kids love and beg for.
However is it worth the money?
For this ring toss game, you need to get a ring into one of the bottles (and the ring has to completely "stay" in the bottle.
Price Breakdown:
- 10 rings = $3 bucks
- Small bucket (with about 60 rings) = $6
- Large bucket (with about 250 rings) = $10
My family and I bought the "large bucket" but I swear it was not 250 rings! With $10, you're guaranteed a little dog which is why we chose that option. At least spending $3/$6 you leave empty handed. We didn't win, but we only played for fun, plus no kids we with us anyway.
Nonetheless, these games at amusement parks, theme parks, the fair is a great way to make money!
One time at the fair, I won a big teddy bear - it was a fake "Winnie the Pooh Bear" and since it was the fake version, it didn't even look like Pooh. I ended up giving the teddy bear away to my cousin who loved the bear!

I used to work as a carnie and those games, most anyway, are rigged.

Yeah, it's pretty hard ~ like a bouncy ball going into a bucket. Most likely the ball will bounce out! But I've seen people win ~ just by luck though.

@infatuatedbby I guess it's the fun of doing it really.

I am not good at aiming very well but for the cost it wasn't too bad.
