The Key Master needs a Gate Keeper.
A Westchester man says one of Sega’s carnie games is rigged.
The Key Master, a vending-machine game that awards prizes to those who can fit a key into a lock using a mechanical arm, pays out only at pre-set intervals, not when people actually win, claims C. Stuart Brown.
“Consumers should be told that succeeding at the game does not guarantee winning a prize,” Brown asserts in a Manhattan federal class-action suit.
Brown plunked down $10 to play the game 10 times at a BounceU in Elmsford, and says he got the key into the slot twice — but wasn’t given any prizes, which can include iPads. Sega did not return messages seeking comment.
