Traveling carnival
Chance and skill
Game operator
Public displays of proficiency at shooting and winning are here proffered. Potential profit results from pricing participation far above the value of any obtainable prize. By promoting the trading-in of multiple small insignificant prizes for a larger worthless prize, continued play is actively encouraged. The real game is to instill desire among customers.
“Happiness is a carnival game. It’s never as easy as it looks, but the dumb ones always seem to be walking around with a big stuffed animal.” – Dov Davidoff
