Description: Do you have opinions? Do you like to tell people about your opinions till their ears bleed? Wonderful! It sounds like you’re ready to exercise your constitutional right to vote! Now, as 2016 has seen such an unprecedented election cycle, it only seems fitting that our cutting-edge new voting machine technology is revealed to the world to decide between some very colourful candidates! Complete the sign-in form before entering one of our delightful booths and choose carefully your voting implement. Voting is very important, but also very expensive. A slot machine, with a direct feed straight from the IRS and the Federal Reserve, has been provided to dispense taxpayer funds to power the amazing new Whack-A-Vote machines. Vote with care, electorate! Every single vote counts, maybe!
Review: Whack-a-Vote: Hammering the Polls is, of course, a political take on some classic Pier arcade games. You get to play whack-a-mole with political dolls Hillary Clinton and POTUS himself Donald Trump and that is about it. It’s just a little bit of silliness to enjoy and shouldn’t be taken seriously in any way. It was made to make people smile and if you are American maybe it will, but it didn’t make me smile at all, but I did enjoy playing the games. Hey! At least it is free so anyone can give it a go. Provided it looks like the sort of thing you might enjoy.
