Tap 2 Win

Reviews Summary

Most reviews praise the venue for its cleanliness, friendly staff (especially owners Chad and Diana), and fun atmosphere with frequent payouts, food/drink offerings, and events like raffles. Many highlight the welcoming vibe and well-maintained machines. However, one critical review claims winners are asked to leave, and a neutral review calls it a "hole in the wall casino." Overall, the majority rate it highly as a clean, entertaining spot with exceptional hospitality.

Customer Reviews

This place is amazing, and so much fun! The staff goes out of their way to make your experience as fun and enjoyable as possible. They have all kinds of cool stuff going on while you're there. From fun raffles to serving up food and all kinds of deals and matches. The friendly energy there is amazing. Plus, I get to see my best bud BA while I'm there!

First time in, first pull, I won $500!!!?? I put $30 in and they gave me $20. Friendly owners Chad and Diana, very down to earth people. Super clean place including machines and restrooms. Great place to have some fun playing. They're also setup with tables and chairs and even a couch to lounge on. They offer drinks as well as food every day from 4-6. One evening they were BBQing hamburgers and hotdogs for everyone. Friday evenings they do a queen of hearts drawing with tickets collected all week. I think

Went there today my friend went with me. This place is awesome. Very friendly . Helpful.. lots of machines. Clean. Roomy. The people that come in are great looking for a clean really good time well TAP 2 WIN is it . Guaranteed.

We love this place! Clean. Safe. Fun. Chad, Diana and the staff at Tap make you feel at home. The go the extra mile to accommodate their guest.

If you win money at this place they ask you to leave. They want all your money but get mad when you win some back. Do not recommend going here if you want to have a good time

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.”
