Greg2600 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Atlantic City's Showboat Hotel (no longer a casino) is boasting a new arcade, with 85K square feet, making it the largest on the east coast. Ironically 3 decades ago, I used to frequent the casino's arcade, which was on an upper floor with the bowling alley. https://www.nj.com/atlantic/2021/05/huge-arcade-opens-at-showboat-atlantic-city.html https://www.theluckysnake.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherrebel5150 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Other than the air hockey everything else looks like ticket games. I live in Northwest NJ and I'd rather dive the 7 hours to Funspot in NH over the two hour drive to Atlantic City based on the arcades 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Knight Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Wow. I haven't been to Atlantic City since 2012 after I moved out of New York City. So much has changed. The Showboat isn't a casino anymore? The only arcades I knew of were those ones on the boardwalk; besides video games, they had pinball, skee-ball and fortune telling machines.

With the proliferation of casinos all over the northeast, there isn't much reason to take a trip to Atlantic City anymore for gambling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Knight Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I know. There's the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. Plus the New York City metro area has Yonkers Raceway and the Aqueduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
