Sometimes when we go to malls, we go to arcades to have fun with my friends and sometimes with my family. Sometimes we play basketball games and other slot machines. If we win, we earn tickets. We can exchange those tickets for prizes. I have already saved many tickets. I am planning to exchange those tickets for a stuffed toy for my niece. do you still go to arcades? if yes, what games do you play?

I still go to arcades and play! My favorite would be daytona, its a racing game. slot machines too and those fighting games are exciting. I like to play games once in a while to bring out the child in me. Its one way of relaxing and making bonds with family and friends.

Well I have a place in maine and its right downtown theres rides and a few arcades I have been going there every summer and I remember when I was a kid I use to go to those arcades all the time use to spend like $10 to $20 at a time but now I just dont care to go to an arcade and waste all of my money but if I go to a bowling alley and they have an few games there I might play one.

Even though I'm in my 50's, I still go to arcades once in a while. Why not, they're fun! I love skee-ball, air-hockey, and my favorites are the interactive ones like the motorcycle you can ride, or the race car you drive. Sometimes I like to do pinball. Our arcades have those tickets too for small prizes. When I get them I give them to my grandson, or other kids I know who are there.

Every now and then we still go to the "arcade", but since it's Dave and Busters it's more like an adult arcade anyways. We'll go there, have dinner, and then go to the midway and play for a little bit. We don't specifically play for tickets, but a lot of the games that we play are for tickets. We aren't trying to win anything in particular, but they have nice house appliances and things that could be useful around the house for tickets, so we're saving for those. We usually play arcade games, I like the electronic shooting range and the boxing games, or maybe some Madden and skeeball. Who knows? We'll go all around the place.

there are also prizes here that include house appliances but i'm not saving for those. they usually require lots and lots of tickets in exchange for the appliances. i only save tickets for stuffed toys so i can give it to my niece. =)

Hi josan181237! I still go to the arcades every weekend because I bring my nieces and nephew there. We play all the games in the arcade and we save all the tickets in exchange for a prize. I enjoy going in arcades mainly because I am happy to see my nieces and nephew having great time. Have a nice day and take care!

Yeah, sometimes at our local mall, we play some games, but we don't get tokens for it, it's just for fun. The only place we play for tokens is at the beach.

Yes. When I'm mad at times I go to arcades and re-channel my energies into tickets and points. :)
