Customer Reviews

Would not let me or my father in because the woman said that she doesnt know us and that were didn't look ok. So I find it somewhat racist and also unprofessional to yell at somebody that is just trying to have a good time...not a very friendly place, there is a woman here that is rude and mean.

My wife and I really enjoy this place. The matching $$ is a nice bonus. Mike does a good job.

The employees are extremely RUDE!! and you have to close out at certain amounts. Which is unfair whatever you win you should be paid. This place is a rip OFF!! and a fraud. I advise anyone If you want to play casino type games just take the drive to immoklee to the REAL!! Casino I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Best place friendly people, Ms.Vicky our southern bell. Mike and Kathy and our little sister Amenda . Thanks

The owners of this place are calling the police on other arcades because they don't have the guts to stay open. If you play here, you stand with snitches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”
