I know someone that looked into buying one of the older games where they run around a track on a wire or something.

Said he had enough friends addicted to it, he could pay it off in 4 months.

Now that they are old and used, they would make an interesting game room piece.

I remember that had one like that at Circus Circus in Las Vegas many years ago...You could never get a seat.

They still have one at the MGM, right next to the indoor lions den. Talk about the greatest game in the world, there is nothing like drinking free coronas, betting quaters, and yelling at stupid little horses in a bubble to finish in a certain order.

even more here:
apparently there is only one left in all of Vegas

could not find one for sale but seems $15,000 or more little pricey for game room furniture.

Whoa is that for real?
I will have to check that out next time I go up there.

It looks to be catered more to those who like to "socialize at the bar"
rather than those devoted with handicapping as a solitary pursuit.
