Each year people visiting the Florida State Fair spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on games of chance all in hopes of winning a stuffed animal or some other souvenir. This year, the cost of playing some of those games has also gone up. That’s why Hillsborough County inspectors were out in force on the fair’s opening day - making sure that those games of chance are working the way they're supposed to. “From separation to height to making sure that the hoops aren't caved into much in the oval. There's a lot that goes into it. And every game has different specifications,” Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “They have to meet the state standard to be able to open up to the public.” The annual inspections are necessary, they say, to make sure people plunking down their hard-earned dollars have a real shot at actually winning. Several stickers and sign adjustments show that could be an even pricier prospect this year than in the past as the cost to play many of the games has increased.
