Chad Thompson once won $1,500 from the game Dragon’s Ascent, and it only cost him 10 cents to play.
The game looks like something from an arcade. Players work a joystick and a button to shoot at the dragons swarming the screen. The bigger the dragon, the bigger the payout for a kill.
Thompson, from McPherson, has played the game since it came out five years ago. He has a strategy to win, but … “That’s for me to know,” he said, “and you to find out.”
But it’s the opportunity to win big that’s concerned state officials, some of whom have implied the game is an illegal gambling device.
