Customer Reviews

To the owner I go here all the time and never have any problems only when Melissa works, Saturday, me and my husband went in we didn't get our extra 5 and Melissa said because we had been in there that day we had not been in there for a couple of days, we asked for our money back and I asked her for her name she got upset and said I was barred from there, is this how you allow your workers to treat your customers??? I didn't do anything to get barred but asked for her name so I could call you and let you

I like this place . The employees are great but sometimes no one is there when it is supposed to be open. I'll drive 15 miles to have to go next door or to winners instead!

Love this place the employees are awesome, love the onlineGaming platform,And every day there are big winners!!!

Hey how can you get in contact with them because I live out of town and I would like the website to play play if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Ive never won a thing here but its fun and sometimes nice workers

Takes hours if at all to get funds added. Don't waste your time.

All the girls are nice, but your spend vs. win ratio is radically out of proportion.

It takes them hours and hours just to have funds added to account from cash app. 1 day already and still nothing.

Very nice ambiance.. light music.. smiling face welcome.. I highly recommend this place.

This place is lucky charm for me and my buddies always!

Win here alot. Never had any problems

Not user friendly. Never seen anyone win a big payout. Place will do in a pinch.

Don't plan on winning,for a game room it's a rare event.

Just an awesome places to cut back!!

No one ever hits a. big jackpot.

Love it. Keep your kids at home

As long as i win i love it

It could use some fixin up

It's boring but McKinney is boring

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.”
