They have the coolest employees and you can even win ,every now and then. I understand why, But I hate that the fish tables aren't included in the drawings. We need some incentives also. Maybe a weekly fish tournament or weekly drawing for free fish time? Something, anything. We are being neglected ??????
Clean. The staff was nice. I was the only person in there. Machines seem tight.
Every time I go in the lady comes ti tell me if you win let me take a picture and don't press anything even though she sees me often here but that's not what I care about is the fact that every time she says that she puts her phone close to the machine and I never win a single time she does that I'm just saying don't trust this place one bit feels like the machines are trick
I accidentally hit ..cash out.. as soon as I put money in the machine. The worker said he wasn't going to refund my $40. After threatening to call the police. They returned my money. Hardly any specials there. Machines are tight. I would go somewhere else
It's alright, a decent variety of games, fast and efficient staff with cash outs. Decent location if your one of those people who hit the strip of local arcades...if you do win get an escort or get your head lumped :)
Not all machines were working properly. Staff is friendly. Didn't win, but I'll still go back
An exceptionally professional and friendly staff & also very clean, well run establishment let you know the owners must take pride in their business & make it a point to go the xtra mile in effort to show their customers there business is appreciated!
You win some you lose some that's the name of the game . I tend to do well here and the staff are all super nice . Friday and Saturday they feed you dinner while your playing for free . Always free drinks and snacks , always attentive and just a fun place to be in . 5 stars for me I love this place !
Great place. Only complaint the music is way to loud Employees are super nice Machined are always being wiped down Thank.you will be back!!!
It's a great place to lose your money in your might win but you're probably going to lose all your money and your paycheck to address for the car payment in the machine as well come live in the bushes that's where I live thank you to the arcades
Blonde chick is the worst. Too busy playing the fish tables or sweeping the same spot 50 times over to pay attention to customers. Way better arcades in town!
Very legit performance of the employees ,we're positive and polite door security again positive polite I was relaxed and enjoyed my self
Friendly staff, comfortable clean fun environment, my favorite arcade in the area, the only one I go to
I love this place best arcade in Bradenton FL staff is the best nice and always on point never have to wait I always win there lots of fun and always have the best deals I won a 75in tv and didn't even have to buy a ticket best place
Half the machines don't work and don't pay a decent percentage return. No promos.
I enjoy gaming @ the Dragon Arcade although I'd like to see games change out more frequently to give a better selection to choose from. The Staff is Friendly and Welcoming.
Awesome arcade! Britney and Paul are very interactive with their customers. Decent promotions and quick cashouts. Will be back for sure!!!!
They have a promotion that if you get a mini fireball they match it. So it's nice to get paid twice ??.
Brittany, Paul and I don't know the security guards name however the 3 of them make the dragon a very enjoyable time
Best arcade I've found in Bradenton. Staff is super friendly! Clean and an enjoyable fun atmosphere. People always winning.
Nice staff quick with payouts and great service nice environment and a great place to make friends
The manager is super kind and always attentive to the customer's... fun place
Nice staff. Good selection of games. UPDATE: just hit a major jackpot on Fire link! Wooooooo!!
We had fun at this little arcade/ casino...a little sketchy at first but we still had a good time. Very small.
Very nice staff mini bonus matching. Love it there
One a little bit stay long lost it all back free chips and snacks and drink not the best in the world but it's okay

Machines don't pay at all
No more promotional point incentive cards ??
Your open sign is on but your door is locked
Nothing that was special to make me remember them.
Fun place for Adults to play games

Customer service sucked
(Translated by Google) I love the kindness of the people who work there and they are very kind (Original) me encata la amabilidad de las personas k travajan ai son muy amables
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
