Well, i went to the local arcade with my 9 year old last weekend. It is fully licensed, has games where you drop a ball (at a cost of about 2 bucks) to win tickets ranging in value from 10 to 500 points and redeem them for prizes like candy and video game themed toys.

I'd say that's stigma-free.

Legislation is stuck at the money-in-money-out mechanic.

That's because gambling, by definition, requires money to change hands.
