America’s arcade machine industry has adopted a new pledge to stop lying to small children regarding their ability to win a stuffed animal.

Last week, the American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) announced the adoption of a Fair Play Pledge that all AAMA members are now required to sign and observe, with a further requirement to conduct an annual review of their adherence to said pledge.

The pledge seeks to ensure that all games offered for sale or use in the US by AAMA members “meet a standard of performance that allows a player a fair chance of winning with every game played.”

The pledge has three criteria, including ensuring that players have “sufficient time to identify, recognize and react” to the game play and (presumably) use a degree of skill to boost their chances of snagging a kewpie doll. Secondly, machines must ensure that players can improve with practice and experience, and, finally, the player’s input must control the outcome of the game.
