Investing In An Arcade Is A Profitable Business

Tons of people enjoy arcade gaming, but not everyone can afford to buy it for themselves.

But if you are thinking of investing in it and doing a business out of it, then you are thinking in the right direction! It will be fun to have a meetup with all the crazy arcade geeks under one single roof and play against each other. 

Not just that, it will be fun to introduce people to arcade games who don't know about them. And for those who have previously cherished this, won't it be fun to reunite them with their one true love? 

But starting a physical play station for arcade games is a whole different game. The process is undoubtedly very overwhelming, and it will make you rethink your decisions. 

But we got your back! As this blog progresses, we aim to educate you about the ins and outs of the arcades business.

How To Plan For Your Arcade Gaming Den

What is the foremost thing that comes to mind while planning for any business?

It is the budget. 

Don't rush the process; get into it thoughtfully.

Your expenses will change significantly based on the type of arcade business you start. A conventional arcade machine game center might be able to function in a small area if its expenditures are kept under $250,000. Costs could reach $1 million for a larger entertainment complex like Dave and Buster's.

The game itself is usually the biggest part of an arcade's startup cost. Costing from $6,000 to $9,000, even a modest selection of 20 games eats up almost half of that low-end $250k budget. 

You will also need to lease a space, and that cost will vary depending on your location and the size of your arcade games console. A rough estimate for a space between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet would be in the range of $1,200-$2,800 per month.

The computers and cash registers, renovating and decorating the space, and licensing fees will take up your remaining budget. 

You'll also need to pay the staff that you employ around the arcade machine games console. Moreover, if you serve food or beverages, you will also have additional costs for vending machines and supplies in your arcade machine games center.

These investments are the costs you will bear while starting your arcade machine games business. But these are not everything that will cost you. There are certain ongoing expenses. Let's have a look at them.

Rent and machine maintenance are the main recurring costs. Utility costs may be more than you anticipate because electronic equipment runs continuously throughout the day. For instance, the smallest site of a popular arcade chain costs $15,000 a month in utilities. Monthly costs also cover things like paying personnel and keeping the place clean.

There might not be enough storage for all the consoles you buy to store. Maintaining a rotation of machines would necessitate a storage area for unused machines, although this is uncommon for small arcades and wouldn't be a problem at the beginning of your business.

After indulging in these, you need to know your target audience.

Know Your Target Audience 

Depending on the type of arcade gaming machine you manage, you may have a different preferred clientele. 

Families and kids both frequent traditional arcades; for families, arcade gaming may be a way to strengthen relationships, and for youngsters, it's the perfect place to spend money on fun when there aren't many other possibilities. 

Meanwhile, "barcades" cater to hipsters who enjoy playing vintage pinball while drinking artisan beer.

Last but not least, arcade/restaurant combos like Dave and Buster's draw a mix of patrons, including families and business people eager to unwind after work.

How To Choose Your Video Arcades Console?

When it comes to buying video arcade machines, you have a few choices.

You have the option of investing in brand-new equipment

Purchasing old arcade machines

Hunting down vintage arcade machines from the 1980s or 1990s 

Classic arcade machines have become popular to capitalize on people's nostalgia. However, you should be aware of all the work involved in maintaining older machines, including where to find parts and technicians who are experienced in fixing them. If working on these devices and bringing them back to life is your passion, join the community of enthusiasts.

Winding Up 

To guarantee your success, you must have the appropriate mixture of classic games. The three main categories of classic arcade games are video games, racing games, and pinball, each of which has numerous options to choose from. 

Creative Arcades has a huge collection of all the arcade gaming machines that you wish to put up in your Gaming Zone. These arcades just attract a crowd for themselves and have proved their success in the past.

stranger thing’s biggest tragedy is that it takes place before dance dance revolution was made. every modern au should have the party lamenting over the fact max has the top score in “butterfly” expert mode. in general my favorite thing about modern aus is just thinking about stuff like mike writing crappy creepypasta and erica running a my little pony tumblr page. this is my kind of nostalgia bait

#stranger things #max mayfield #mike wheeler #erica sinclair #while i think old arcades are very aesthetic i think the party would have a field day in like a chuck e cheeses #lucas would practice basketball on the hoops game dustin would #know how many spins until big bass game pays out mike would think playing guitar hero is the equivalent of playing real guitar #will would destroy in racing games and el in claw machines max is a rhythm game master

Endlessly tickled by the idea of Akira being a good shot but a shit gamer. I like to think its cause hes got incredible hand eye coordination and super steady ‘surgeon’ hands; hes very good with precise movements, but panics when he has to do brain melting inputs. His brain can keep up but its hard to make his hands follow suit. Its why u can have him be dogshit at arcade cabinets; panicking with the little joystick and button mashing like mad, while having him be a beast at things like darts and billiards.

The only arcade games he can play is house of the dead-esque shooting games (hes literally at the top of the leaderboards for MILES and he draws crowds whenever he plays) and DDR cabinets (hes just very light on his feet)(NOT to be confused with stepmania; he would die if he had to do arrow inputs with his HAND). Its kinda fun to watch him fumble with the other silly gimmick cabinets, but its more entertaining to watch him do what hes good at. If u take him to play darts, and if the darts are super cheap, he will absolutely try his best to split them down the middle each time. Doesnt always work, but its insane to know that he lands the bullseye literally 100% of the time.

#chattin #akira #i just think. having him play games like how my uncle plays games is a silly visual #hes also Tall #so hes like as tall as the fucking machine and shaking it like crazy. hes dying. help him. #but hes never like. hmm #i guess self conscious about looking silly? it doesnt even occur to him bc hes so focused on smashing inputs #so ryuji can take him to the arcade all the time and never get a sore loser for a teammate or rival #on the flipside. he is so good w knives its scary #and like. anything sharp. and anything thats a projectile tbh #if u took him to do archery i think he would love it. #but for now hes got Baseball and Darts. and hes good at Both. #i know royal has him playing darts or something w goro?? #i think its cute. also funny. goro would lose miserably and get so fucking tight. like alright. im not taking u here anymore. #akira opts to just watch bc he didnt think he was going to hang out w a sore loser #and goro HAS to challenge that. obviously. #like *clenched fist* ‘no. i insist. were here for a. good time. friendly competition is. healthy.’ #*clenches jaw so tightly u can hear it pop* ‘another round? ‘ #thinking about it; turnbased rpgs would be perfect for him. hes very bad at action games and fighting games #so playing games that dont demand that from u would be nice for him. #rhythm games would be easy too; the focus isnt on the hands but the beat #he doesnt have to THINK about hand inputs #MAYBE racing games would work too? but high speed racing games like burnout would be too much for him i think #and depending on the TYPE of shooter; fps games would be bad; third person shooters even more so

Cosmic Arcade 🛸🌌

I wanted to toy around with drawing more places so I decided to draw Hal's pops in an arcade :33 it was super fun designing the arcade cabinets!

Being based on Herbert ofc he would love video games and atrociously colorful outfits

Speaking of which, this is based on the Cosmos from LBP2! Which is already a fun location on its own ^^ i might make little characters out of the fruit characters too

Thank you for dredging up BTR from my childhood memories 😭 I wanna answer your poll, but I don't remember them well enough :,) For some reason I can only clearly remember the slide they had in their apartment on the show. But omg I didn't realize they got back together??? Absolutely wild

honestly Catie I can't take all the credit, I need to thank @usersewis for reminding me they even existed😂

I don't remember much about them at all I just know that little old me was obsessed with carlos and, as @formula-red so rightly says, a lifetime of being bewitched by guys in helmets. there was no escaping it even then

the slide though!! omg yes! I was sooooo jealous of their apartment

#i think they also had a car racing arcade machine ? even better #i love when bands like this get back together its like oh yeah you guys! and everyone gets super excited #and then promptly forgets about them again lmao

-->And then it was Victor and Smiler date time at the Freezer Bunny Arcade in Newcrest! Haven’t been here in a while (I think Smiler was still living in Britechester the first time they and Victor visited), but the arcade was on my mind after watching onlyabidoang’s “Functional Objects” video featuring all the arcade stuff Cepzid created. It was raining when they arrived (and soon ramped up to a major thunderstorm -- great dating weather!), so I sent them inside into the cafe area at the back right away. They sat and chatted for a while, with Smiler telling Victor an engaging story for his entertainment --

As some random sat down at their table with his coffee. *grumble* Fortunately, he didn’t try to join their conversation, and I was able to get the pair to move to another table once Victor ordered some pain au chocolat from the barista (which went a LOT fucking smoother than it did at the other cafe – Steampunk Cafe LOOKS nice, but it doesn’t play very well, unfortunately). They continued having a very pleasant, occasionally flirty chat, sharing the spirit of the day and officially developing a “Close” family dynamic, awww. :) Randos did keep coming to sit at their table, but again, nobody actually tried to TALK to them – they just let the pair get on with their date. Sheesh, wonder why everyone kept bothering Victor and Alice...

-->Anyway – Victor finished his snack, then donated some plasma to Smiler so they could have a snack before grabbing some sleep replacement potion from the aspiration rewards store so he didn't pass out from blood loss on their date. Smiler wandered over to the skeeball machines while Victor found a table to drink his potion --

And ended up next to, of all people, JOAQUIN, who’d showed up here too. >( Fortunately I was able to keep him from trying to talk to Victor, allowing Victor to Energy himself up and join Smiler at skeeball. They both completed a level one game and ended up winning a child’s toy apiece. XD Smiler then went over to the pinball machines and had a good game there, while Victor played some Whack-A-Gnome poorly. I had him go get a gumball to make himself feel better after that (and after seeing Joaquin) –

#sims 4 #the lazy save #victor van dort #alice liddell #smiler always #random promo: if you like fun Sims videos then watch onlyabidoang's stuff #he's a cool guy who covers patch updates and does things like make occult Sims race to see who is the fastest XD #and of course does videos on neat mods that make me remember I set up a whole arcade in this save that I barely use XD #I'm actually rather proud of the Freezer Bunny arcade #I think I did a good job making it look like a freezer bunny face #and a lot like this is one of the better uses for those ridiculous Spa Day glowing walls XD #but yes things went MUCH smoother here for Victor and Smiler #sure we had random Sims insisting on sitting at their table #but at least they weren't trying to butt into the actual DATE #though I was pretty fucking pissed to see Joaquin again #sir you are lucky I didn't try to do anything lethal to you #stay away from my trio you unwanted flirtation creep #and tell me those arcade machines don't look cool :) #Cepzid really put a lot of effort into making them look right! #this makes me think of Dave & Buster's and that's only a good thing #great job! #queued

HIIEUSI WAS WHHEE HI SIS I WAS WONDERING U COULD DO ARCADE FF WITH HEESEUNG ?

Omg girl I haven’t had time to write a damn thing yet and my drafts are piling up. But moots take TOP priority and I try to respond to asks as fast as possible. Anywaysss here you go and I hope u enjoy 🩷

Ride Me ~ L.HS

pairing: Heeseung!bf x Reader!gf| wc: 1k | summary: Things take a steamy turn after your boyfriend shows you his new at-home arcade setup. | cw: 🔞MDNI!! unprotected sex, cumshots, fingering, clit stimulation, pet names [daddy, good girl, baby] <- 100% Heeseung coded [porn with a plot] Enjoy :)

“Well babe, what do you think?” Heeseung asked as he uncovered your eyes revealing the mass gaming setup. “I figured I’d use this more than the theater room,” he ruffled his hands through his hair, anxiously waiting for you to respond.

“It looks great, but I’m gonna miss our little movie nights under the blankets,” you smiled as you walked up to one of the machines.

You clicked a few of the large buttons, anticipating a pixelated image to flash across the screen. “Umm, how do you turn this thing on?” You asked as nothing seemed to work.

Heeseung placed his hand on the edge beside you, trapping you beneath him as he reached down to flick a power switch. You felt his weight slightly press you against the machine as he did this.

“I must’ve forgotten to turn this one on,” he met your eyes through his shaggy hair. Something about that state felt off, but maybe it was just you so you brushed off the feeling and proceeded to look at the other games he had.

A zombie survival simulator that came with 4 guns.

A claw machine filled with plushes.

A retro fighting game.

And a two player motorcycle game.

Eager to try this one out, you climbed onto the bike.

“Of all the stuff you just saw, im surprised this is the one you wanted to play,” Heeseung tilted his head.

“Yeah, well, I like racing games. Stuff like MarioKart, y’know,” Heeseung watched as you struggled to reach the coin slot from your seat. The opening sat just out of your reach.

Your tits pressed up against the leather as your cheek meshed with cold material.

"Let me help you," Heeseung whispered in your ear as he reached over to insert the coin. You felt him pushing himself up against you from behind which sent butterflies through your stomach.

You went to the loading screen and customized your bike, "If you wanna play, there's another bike," you said as you noticed your boyfriend was still straddled on the bike behind you. His hands gripped the back of the seat as he sat there with his legs spread open.

You had a bad habit of staring at the print in his pants, didn't matter if he was hard or soft. You craved to feel him inside of you.

"I know, but I wanna see how you ride," he smirked as he grabbed your hips, quickly jerking your hips backward.

Feeling the heat rush to your face you continued to start up the game. You chose a Tokyo map because of the neon cityscape terrain at night time. Though you tried your best to stay focused you couldn't shake the feeling of Heeseung sitting behind you like this.

"San, ni, ichi...sutato," the automated female voice called out as tri-colored traffic lights flashed across the screen. The aggressive rumble from the bike startled you as it took off.

You felt as Heeseung squeezed your hips again before leaning against you. You nearly crashed as his touch caught you off guard.

"Be careful baby," he said before placing a kiss on your neck.

"I-I'm trying. But you keep distracting me," you stuttered.

"Am I really that distracting," he asked as he slipped his hands around your thighs, squeezing and pulling at the flesh.

"Ngh," you groaned. "Yes, you are."

"Oh, but you like it when I touch you like this. Don't you?" Heeseung grinded his hips against you.

"Mmm," you moaned as you felt his budge pressing into you. "H-heeseung," you said letting out a soft breath.

"Keep driving baby. If you come in first place, I'll give you a little treat," he hummed as he reached his fingers in between your folds. Your growing wetness slowly seeped through the fabric of your panties.

"Ngh!" you huffed as he massaged your clit through your shorts.

He continued to tease you as you struggled to finish the race, barely coming in first after finding a shortcut.

As the gold star shot across the screen, Heeseung hummed a raspy "Good girl," in your ear before helping you out of your shorts.

At this point, you were only wearing your hot pink thong--something you knew Heeseung loved to use. "Show me that pretty little pussy of yours," he bit his lip as you pulled the small fabric to the side, exposing your wet folds.

He smiled as he palmed himself before pulling his veiny cock out only to glide it between your slimy lips and tease your sensitive bead with his tip.

You whimpered as you began pushing yourself against his hard dick, eagerly trying to force it inside.

He halted your movements by gripping the inside of your thighs, spreading your legs more, before telling you to "ride Daddy's dick like the good girl I know you are."

Immediately after he said those words, he shoved his dick deep inside of you, causing you to let out a sharp groan. "Fuck," he winced. "You're still so fucking tight," he said slowly pumping his cock into you. "Ngh," he moaned before leaning forward to kiss your neck as your ragged breathing filled his ear. "You sound so fucking sexy when you're taking my dick like this," he pecked your cheek as you finally adjusted to his length.

You started to grind into your boyfriend, stuffing his cock deeper into you as he held you from your waist. "That's it, baby, just like that," his words encouraged you to pick up the speed as he pulled your lips into his, gripping your throat.

He turned you over and fucked you from the back as your tits pressed up against the leather. You clenched around him as he let out a groan. "Fuck, I'm gonna cum," he gritted through his teeth before 3 long, hard thrusts. You felt his warm seed spill into you and drip out as you came with him. Fortunately, your panties caught the majority of the spill.

Exhausted, you laid across the bike as Heeseung kissed your shoulders.

Photobooth

Your first date with seungmin, except he pretends he's confident when he's just as nervous as you.

You quickly go down the stairs, trying your best to steady your racing heartbeat, but it only quickens as your gaze lands on Seungmin. He's wearing a black blouse, his hair slightly tousled as if he ran his fingers through it multiple times. His face lights up once his eyes set on you.

"Hey," he smiles as he walks up to you, a single red rose in his right hand.

"Hi," you smile back, a rush of butterflies erupting in your stomach, fluttering their wings all across your body.

"You're beautiful," he compliments, eyes tracing your face over and over, drinking in each one of your features. He didn't tell you that you looked beautiful, rather that you are beautiful. As if it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as it's you.

"Thank you," you reply, a wide grin spreading across your face. "You're beautiful too."

"I know," he smiles confidently, prompting a playful eye roll from you. "Right, let's go," he abruptly says, handing you the flower and grabbing your free hand into his. His fingers seamlessly intertwine with yours, and he doesn't look at you as he starts walking, as though this is second nature to both of you. As if your heart isn't on the brink of bursting from your chest, ready to spill its emotions at his feet.

Seungmin leads you to a hidden arcade, where the next two hours quickly go by as you take turns playing the various games- and competing in them. Your stomach aches from how hard you've been laughing; joy coming naturally to you when you're with Seungmin.

You're standing in front of a claw machine- your third attempt to retrieve a frog plushie. It's kind of weirdly sewed, and the color is neon rather than pastel, but you want it still.

"Still not giving up?" Seungmin smiles, as he leans against the machine's glass. "These are a scam, the odds of you winning are very slim."

"Keep your pragmatism to yourself," you reply, inserting another coin. The allotted fifty seconds go by in a blink of an eye, and you fail once again.

"Forget it," you pout. "I'm thirsty do you want something to drink?"

"Sure, just water. Can you order? I have to go to the toilet."

"Okay," you give him a thumbs-up before heading to the register. The queue is long, since apparently, everyone around is craving something too. Fifteen long minutes go by before you finally receive your coffee order. You bought an iced americano for Seungmin too, you know he can never say no to those.

"I'm back," Seungmin drapes his arm across your shoulder, drawing you closer to him. "Here," you bring the straw to his lips and be sips from his drink diligently.

"I thought you only wanted water," you chuckle and he scrunches his nose at you.

"Fine, keep your coffee and I suppose I'll keep this," he brings out the plushie you've been dying to win.

"You got it?" you ask incredulously, taking it from his hands excitedly.

"Mm."

"But I thought these machines were a scam," you repeat his earlier words and he shrugs. "I mean they still are. But you really wanted it."

"Thank you," you murmur, pulling him into a grateful hug, your chin resting on his shoulder blade.

"Anything for you," he mumbles into your hair, his arms blanketing you in a warm embrace.

You are walking hand in hand, stomachs full from the dinner Seungmin just treated you to. He insisted on paying, and you made a mental note to buy him coffee for the next following weeks.

"Look!" you point excitedly to a photobooth on the side of the road. "Should we go in?" you propose and he nods, pulling you in.

The booth is tiny, leaving room for only one stool at the center of it. Seungmin settles on the seat, before pulling you on top of his lap. You feel a crimson red blush bloom on your face, as Seungmin fixes up the camera's setting. He seems at ease by your close proximity, and you take in a deep breath as the timer starts counting down.

You plaster a smile on your face, Seungmin's hand wrapping around your waist as you both pose, flashing a peace sign. A giggle escapes you as he gently tickles your sides. "What should we do now?" he asks.

"Let's blow a kiss to the camera," you suggest, and he shakes his head slightly, an amused smile drawn on his lips.

You pucker your mouth, blowing a flying kiss as the camera snaps a photo of the two of you. But you soon realize Seungmin isn't staring ahead- he's looking at you.

"What?" you giggle nervously, and he tucks a strand of your hair behind your ears, eyes fixated on yours. "I really like you," he confesses in a hushed tone, leaving you overwhelmed by the warmth of his body, his velvety voice and the weight of his words.

"You make me very flustered."

"So do you," he giggles sheepishly and you raise a brow at him. "Really? you've been so sure of yourself this entire date."

"Can't you feel my hands shaking?" he asks softly and sure enough, slight tremors are cursing through them. Almost imperceptible, but it's there.

"You drive me insane. I think I almost died each time you smiled at me tonight."

"That's a lot of near-deaths."

"I know," he smiles at you, but it slips away slowly as his eyes land on your lips. "Can I kiss you?"

"Yes." Your reply comes out breathless, as his warm hand cradles your cheek, beckoning you closer to him. His mouth falls perfectly on top of yours, the camera's click a mere echo to you as you lose yourself into the kiss. His cheeks are heated up under your touch, a contented sigh leaving him as your lips meet once again. And again, and again, until you lose count.

You pull apart dazed, and Seungmin places a much sweeter kiss on your forehead. "I really like you. I'm afraid of messing this up."

"You won't. I really like you too."

Seungmin buries his head in the crook of your neck, as you rub your hands softly across his back.

"What is it?" you smile and he shakes his head. "I'm malfunctioning give me a minute."

"What happened to your confident self?" you tease and he chuckles lowly, the sound traveling in your body and carving its melodies into your heart.

"Got tired of pretending."

"You don't have to. I really like you, if I hadn't made it clear."

"Yeah I don't think I will make it through the night," he sighs and you laugh loudly, pressing a kiss to his cheek. It felt comforting to know you were both just as flustered by each other's existence.

You finally get out of the booth to find the picture printed out. You and Seungmin doing a peace sign. You blowing a kiss while Seungmin stares fondly at you. You and Seungmin looking at one another. You and Seungmin lost into the kiss.

"It turned out nice," you hum and he nods, throwing his arm over your shoulder once again. "It really did."

You keep the picture safely tucked in your wallet; only taking it out to frame it in your new house with Seungmin, five years down the road.
