It is free money (well almost) for the traveling guy that runs the stall.
The best you will ever do in a fairground at anything is a soft toy that cost no more than half the fee for the game.
I saw a mobile endless climbing wall at one.
Stood maybe 2.5 mts tall and about 4mts wide and made of metal straps like vertical tank tracks with holds bolted on and all you had to do was climb the endless conveyer for 5 mins to win £1,000,000.
Obviously impossible but me and 3 mates jumped on.
It got gradually faster and then started to overhang too.
I fell off at about 2 mins when the overhang was about 30 degrees and I missed a foot hold.
I got talking to the guy who ran it and asked if he had an insurance policy just in case anyone managed it and he said no, it was impossible.
Apparently even the top climbers in the world have ever gone past 3 mins and most people who climbcome off between 1min 50 and 2 mins 10.
We were the last on it that day so he ran it up to level 10 to show me how impossible it was.
It went from vertical to fully horizontal and the speed of the belt was fast running but not quite sprinting speed.
Good fun with your mates though.
