Takarajima Kashima Branch Asobi no Hiroba

Complete rip off

Takarajima Kashima Branch Asobi no Hiroba is a game center within Cheerio Shopping Center. Their crane games are a complete rip off! During the time we were there we could see that everyone was empty handed which means they hadn't won anything in the crane games. My kids tried a few games themselves and are used to walking away with something, even if its very small, but not here! Even the 'easy' machines don't turn out prizes. Moreover, in the easy machines were you push items along, they don't replace the prizes - instead they put up a small sign to say the main prize has been won. In all my years, I've never seen that and it is a con in itself, because people will put money in the machine before they see the sign.
