Talk:Chinatown Fair

Unclear statement

From the article:

Unlike the norm at other arcades, where winning players continue until deposed, Chinatown Fair players play a maximum of three or four continuous games.

From the source:

Benjamin Valle, 19, a college student from the Bronx, explains that rather than the usual arcade policy where the winner keeps playing, most players at Chinatown Fair stay on for a maximum of three or four games. “Usually, you run out of money by then anyway,” he adds.

It's unclear what the player meant, or whether the reporter understood his meaning. Why would it matter if you ran out of money if you were able to continue playing on the same quarter? Unless someone can verify with a more direct statement, I don't believe the intended meaning was that the arcade had a different policy of voiding the winner's credit after a number of games. It is not usually a matter of "arcade policy" for the winner to keep playing, that is how the game itself works by default. Ham Pastrami (talk) 12:02, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
