I fell for this game too in Las Vegas. They set up at the Liquidator event by Cheyenne and Rainbow and have taken about $1100 from me.
I got up to 95 points with relative ease with only about $50 spent. Since then, I have tried mulptiple times, come back on several occasions, but have never been able to reach 100 points. I am up to $80 a pop now with 7 prizes to win and still in the 90s for points. It literally took about 5 balls to get into the 90s and since have tried about 30 more balls and can't get to 100 points. It seems to be rigged so you can't get there.
It makes you not want to quit because then my $1100 is wasted. I could've bought 2 big screen TVs for that. I just want my money back and this chapter of my life over.
Please shut these guys down, arrest them for fraud, and get my money back.

I was traveling with my husband in Texas and i went to one of these liquidation sales and came across one of these games. The guy explained the game to me and we played we spent 350.00 dollars. We got to about fourty dollars a games but we ended up winning a 32 in flat screen and a xbox 360 and a tool kit for my husband. We really had won 7 prizes but they bought back the ones we didnt want. I thought it was a good experience. I would do it again if i lived closer. I do not know what happened with the people above but the people i played with were great. Remember folks there r good ppl and bad ppl in this world not all ppl are bad. I hope the ppl that did this pay for what they did but i am a firm believer that there is good.

This is a true and a very real report and scam.. DONT GET SUCKED IN!!! This is a fly by night band of gangsters that need to be put away for scamming people out of their hard earned money.... They run from town to town with the liquidation sale "Central Liquidators" 856-806-1609. I was fortunate enough to find this report and went back to the place after I was scammed out of almost 1500 bucks.
Like Joe, my brother and I were stuck on "98 points" after getting a quick 75 points with only $100 or so into the game with the potential (we thought) of winning 10 big screen tvs... Magically, we couldnt pull any more points out of the ping pong ball blower maching once we hit 98 points despite playing another bunch of times at first $80 per play then $160 and then $320... all the while knowing you cant give up or the money you spent to that point will be gone..
It is very obvious that they have some control device that activates magnets out the balls that score you points when you hit 95 points (they leave a few balls floating with 1 or 2 points to tantalize you further).
These maggot con artists get very angry if you stand and watch other customers play this game.
The reason they dont let you watch others play, is that they dont want you to see A) that everyone can easily accumulate 90 + points with minimal investment relative to the big flat screen prize, yet no one can get those last few points needed... and B) they dont want you to see that certain balls start sticking to the long poll you are given to fish the balls out with while other balls get forced away from your grab pole...
In any event, this post helped us out as i printed it and brought it back and called the police in to investigate it. Of course these sick scum bags deny any wrong doing and just called everyone who had played it as having a "gambling problem".... They also tell you that you dont have a written receipt of how much you paid to play ... (NOTE: they refuse to give you a reciept if you ask when you are out of money) they just tell you that your receipt of how many points you have (98 points and 15 prizes to win with 2 more points scored) is enough to come back "to continue playing from where you left off".
We think that the lady who covered for them and worked out the "settlement" to pay us back less than half of what we lost who runs the Central Liquidators bazaar is in on the scam but we cant say for sure..
I hope these sick individuals are caught and prosecuted before they steal from more unsuspecting public....
