Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 5309145, member: 6158"] This and other amusement type parks reminded me of Lake Compounce in Southington/Bristol and Seaview Playland in Dennisport Ma on the Cape (pitch and put and indoor games like "Poke a Reno" (rolling black rubber balls and they dropped into holes which represented cards like Ace, King, Queen etc) There was also games called "Skee- bowl" I think where you rolled a duckpin like ball onto a ramp and tried to sink it the center hole for max points. The funny thing was after exhausting everyone of all their money for like a month the grand prizes were like a ceramic black panther or a copper wash plated horse with a bead chain bridle. These prizes probably cost the arcade about a dollar or two. Reminded of this when I saw Steve Martin in "The Jerk" and he is playing a barker at a carnival and is saying "Step right up and win some crap" LOL. [/QUOTE]
