Great arcade! Prices are reasonable, some games are even still 25 cents! Kids can play for a long time and get good prizes. Staff is always helpful and friendly, they go out of their way to provide personalized service. So much better than the larger arcades!

Located conveniently on the Boardwalk not too far off from Tropicana. Rainy Saturday afternoon, had some free time before our next event, and came in. Throwback to 80s/90s old school arcades with mostly modern video and interactive games. The place is not very large, so the games are somewhat clustered together and tight, but doesn't take away from the fun you can have. Skewball, shooting games, basketball, Connect Four, quarter games, claw games and I think I saw Pac-Man in there too. All are reasonably priced at $1-$2 a game, with the majority needing a game card in order to play. There's 2 card machines available, and the manager is available for any issues. You can win tickets that can be traded for all sorts of prizes ranging from stickers to action figures to headphones...you'll have to play for days or hit up some PEDs to win big prizes though. There's a TON of sports memorabilia to see and maybe win as well.Not all of the games worked properly though, and can't see how the place would fit many people comfortably at a time, but be open to fun & you'll have a good time. You know how I know? I was too busy whopping ass and having fun to take photos. You will too.

I wanted to go to an arcade, and this was the closest to us. It's a small arcade on the boardwalk. The games were packed pretty tight in there. We walked around it briefly. It's a bit retro with PacMan and other games I already forgot. The guy working the counter (who was friendly and assisted us well) instructed us on how to exchange for quarters and obtain a gaming card. Some machines required quarters, others take the card. That was annoying. I'm not sure if the tickets are added to the card or not. My friend appeared to be unsure, but I saw about 2 games I wanted to play. The shooter we played actually shot out small balls. We did NOT expect that. It was entertaining on its own though. Kick butt and got my butt kicked in basketball. Won a small Hulk plushie from a crane game on the first try (HA!!!) Then my sidekick realized there was zero fighting games. No Street Fighter. No Tekken. None of it. That lead us to leave because what's an arcade without any fighting games. We tried to find other 2 player games, but there wasn't many. I did enjoy it though.

The reason this location gets 3 stars is because of the manager for the day shift. My friends and I decided to stop by in the arcade after eating. It's small but it does have a lot of games. Most games are $1 $2 reasonable price. We decide to play the basketball machine game. It was great time. I seen the record was 84 points I came close to beating it. It was one of the workers record. My friends challenge him to play, and we would pay for it. The manager caught a attitude towards us and his worker. It wasn't like he wasn't engaged on the floor helping people. There were workers there also to help. We said we are going to pay for him to play. If I am a manager I would say ok but thats customer interaction, and plus we will spend more money which we didn't mind. He was very nasty about that. It rubbed us the wrong way and we left. There is also a way you go about it professionally if you don't want him to play.

Was on a boardwalk stroll with the girlfriend early in the morning and we saw the arcade was actually open, so we stepped in to relive our childhoods for a half hour. We were the only bodies in there the entire time, aside from the attendant.Playcade was spotless, clean, and inviting. The amount of games they have packed into a small space is impressive, as is the vast prize selection. Skeeball, ticket earning games, classics from the 80s, and more are waiting for you to play them.Highlight of the experience was the fact that everything is reasonably priced as if this arcade was transported from 1991 - just about everything costs just one or two quarters, no players cards or swiping needed; there's something Satisfying about the ping of the quarter going into the slot.Any place that has Speed Demon gets four stars, add the rest of what I listed above and it was an easy five star review for us.

I was here actually a little bit over two weeks ago so I can confirm that they were open and maintained mostly normal hours ( Friday I was there they were to be open until at least 6 pm or 7). This is an old school arcade had the real feeling of my youth or almost youth it was like coming into another place in Atlantic City. Maybe, this is a secret when you are going slow in the casino or losing some big money per hour, come to this place and spend $30 or 35 bucks and it will take your money a lot further (moneybags). I had fun and on this recent trip I stayed less than 1 hour and won about 10,000 tickets on those various tickets games. To judge what stuff could be worth in the real world, I got two packs of 2020 topps baseball cards and each pack was about 3,000 in tickets but I actually got lucky and received some decent cards. Wizard of Oz game is a great time waster and can help you win a lot of tickets in a short amount of time. This place is all the way down the Boardwalk and is right near Tropicana hotel.
