Shooting Games<\/strong><\/td>\nMentioned elsewhere as one of the most likely games to be rigged, you can shift the odds on shooting games in your favour by using the same gun for several goes, getting used to how the sight has been messed with. Make sure to adjust your shooting pattern depending on how far away from the target you actually are.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Now that we know the games to try to avoid as much as possible, the next thing to do is to draw your attention to the games that you stand more chance of winning. There are some, even if the odds will still be in the fairground\u2019s favour in the same way that blackjack is still in the favour of the casino. Always remember that if a fairground game looks too good to be true then it almost certainly is.<\/p>\n Make sure that you don\u2019t rush into playing any specific games, instead watching other people do so and keep an eye on how things work out for them. Are there are techniques that they\u2019re using that either seem to be working or, more importantly, definitely don\u2019t? It\u2019s also worth keeping an eye on the person running the stall to ensure that they don\u2019t use different equipment to what the player is given to play with.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re suspicious that something fishy might be going on when a fairground worker demonstrates how a game works, ask them if you can stand where they stood and use the equipment that they used. If they say no then bear in mind that the game is almost certainly rigged and you don\u2019t want to be wasting your money playing it. With all of that in mind, the table above shows the best games to play and some techniques to \u2018beat\u2019 them.<\/p>\n Should They Be More Closely Regulated?<\/h2>\nThe obvious question to ask when it comes to fairground games is whether or not they should be more closely monitored when you take into account the fact that many children will play them. They are not really liable for any form of regulation, even to the point that they don\u2019t have to tell you how often people win them, which is the case for the likes of slot machines and other casino games.<\/p>\n Because there is usually no cash prize on offer and even the prizes that you can win aren\u2019t worth much money, the need to be regulated is none existent as far as the likes of the United Kingdom Gambling Commission are concerned. This means that people can waste vast sums of money trying to win a prize on something that could be nearly impossible to win in the first place.<\/p>\n The reality is that regulation is highly unlikely to come in on fairground games any time soon. As a result, the most sensible thing that you can do is to limit how much money you spend on games and to not play ones that look almost impossible to win. No one is going to stop you from spending your money, so you need to be responsible for your own behaviour unless and until that situation changes.<\/p>\n Obviously if you have children that can be difficult, but the amount of money that you\u2019ll spend trying to win a cuddly toy that they\u2019ve decided that they want will dwarf the cost of the actual toy itself. This is probably a good teaching and learning moment for both of you. Perhaps you can say that they can have three goes to win it and if they don\u2019t then you\u2019ll buy it for them from the shop? Either that or you\u2019ll just end up spending a fortune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Head to a fairground anywhere in the country and you\u2019ll be presented with a wealth of different games that you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":225,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"page_type":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2024-04-30 04:15:14","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"page_type"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5907"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5907\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"page_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bettingwebsites.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/page_type?post=5907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
