A 30-year-old man who was playing a ball-tossing game called
"Tubs of Fun" at a carnival in Manchester, New Hampshire filed a
police report after losing $2,600 on the game. Henry Gribbohm
said he was trying to win an Xbox Kinect for his kids but all he
got was a stuffed banana with dreadlocks. Gribbohm said that
when he lost his first $300 -- which was all the money he had on
him at the time -- he went home and got more money -- $2,300 to
be exact. He told reporters, "They explained to me I was going
to get all my money back. I was going to get an Xbox Kinect . .
. They lied to me." The day after his big loss, Gribbohm headed
back to the carnival. After complaining to the game's operator,
$600 was returned and he was given a giant stuffed banana
wearing a hat and dreadlocks because it was "all they could do."
Police are reportedly investigating Gribbohm's claims. The
carnival company said Gribbohm didn't spend the amount he
claims. (Kotaku)
