Arcade Game

A coin-operated game typically installed in businesses such as pubs, restaurants or video arcades. Play usually involves fast action where a high level of hand-eye coordination is needed to beat the game, such as shooting games, racing games and skill-testers.

Arcade games usually represent the cutting edge of games technology and can cost arcade operators up to £20,000 per machine.
