Why I play the Arcade Games!

I play the games to try and beat myself (competitive spirit) and to relieve stress. I recently lost my mom and my sister a few months apart and I miss them dearly. I can play the games and let my mind be transferred from missing them to competing with myself. I have noticed that we “used” to have 2 sometimes 3 pages of “prizes” to purchase with tickets we won from the games. That has diminished to “1”. We “used” to have double tickets and that was fun to see them really add up. Now this commercial ad that interrupts each game is something else. I believe when a company gives incentives they reap great rewards. Take away, take away, take away leads to greed. I have been trying for months to “win” a prize and am still waiting. Perhaps someday I will get lucky.

My deepest sympathy for your loss Collielover, it’s painful to lose people we love. I play these games to keep my mind busy, to avoid thinking about my problems. I’ve been playing for the past 7 years winning many times, it was exciting and it was something to look forward to, now that the prizes have diminished it’s harder to win, the commercials are annoying I agree. Things have changed and not for the better, but I’m still here enjoying the games. Keep on playing and maybe soon your turn will come to win.

I have been playing for years and never won anything but I keep trying. I know your pain I lost my mother a few months ago. I’m praying for you. My points keep adding up and only a few items to try and win.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom & your sister. The games do help take your mind off your troubles for a bit. I love playing the games & much like ginosa, I have been playing for over 10 years & never won but do look forward to winning a prize one day. I pray that God helps you through your grief.
