Daily News | Jersey Shore operator banned after boardwalk games found to be rigged, N.J. says
An amusement operator accused of rigging boardwalk games in Wildwood and North Wildwood has been banned for 10 years from running such games and fined $15,500, New Jersey authorities announced Wednesday.
The $15,500 fine represents “a penalty of $500 for each of the 31 basketballs found to have been overinflated” during multiple inspections in 2022,from the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission, which is part of the state Department of Law and Public Safety. “The Jersey Shore is one of the biggest draws in the state for families looking for fun and recreation and we are making sure those families are not being scammed out of their hard-earned money,” Platkin said.
During the summer, inspections were conducted at each game. Besides finding the overinflated basketballs, the commission found Strothers had displayed large plush animals that were not actual prizes and failed to show the prizes that could be won, the order said.
