Today the Snake arcade opened in the Showboat.

It's huge as this arcade takes up the entire gaming floor of the old Showboat Casino.

I'm still exploring it!

So it's open to everyone till ten pm

Then it's adults only.

New party spot everyone!

I wonder how many other arcades exist that have their own boxing ring.

does it have the original gauntlet game?
i can play it FOREVER on 1 quarter as Wizard.

*Wizard need food badly!*

altho i read the ELF is the best char.
once the elf gets the +magic potion, it'll have the same magic power as the Wizard but will naturally be better than wiz at shot speed, armor, and hand to hand combat
ie: +magic on Elf will destroy everything on the screen as Wizard naturally does

Note:
+magic potion on the wizard is useless.
+shot speed on the Elf is useless but less useless than +magic on the wizard

I can't wait to check this out.

I hope that this will also lead to AC casinos adopting more arcade based games and video games in lieu of traditional slots. Slots (probably not even the correct term) like the Pacman slot where it is just player vs player are based purely on video game and arcade skill and can make slot machines far more appealing to people who usually would stay away from them, especially machines where it is purely player vs player (nobody is against the house).

Wow! For me, Gauntlet was always a quarter drain. Although, I did not play it much (since it was expensive for me). So I really never got the chance to get good at it.

Now, Galaga was a game that I could play for 20 minutes on a single quarter!

yup, you can live forever as wizard or elf.
i chose Wiz because i hated not insta-killing lvl 3 monster generators until i got the +magic potion as Elf.
sometimes it took forever till you find that +Magic

I was always impressed to see people get up to the dragon, either by their skill or by their ability to plug in so many quarters.

I should check YouTube to remember what happens when you kill the dragon.
