- Sandown Pier Arcade! I was actually sort of impressed with this place. They have a pretty decent video game to fruit machine/redemption ratio. They have two Dance Dance Revolution machines, air hockey, mario kart etc. Check out the old abandoned corridoor which leads on to the pier. It's like an arcade machine mini-graveyard with large crane games and other broken machines lol. Interesting to see!

Many of the arcades in the UK (Mainly seaside arcades) are called Amusement Arcades. They are typically packed with redemption-based machines with very few video games (As video games simply do not make money). I have placed the word "Amusements" in the title for these types of places as they are not true Video Game Arcades, but deserve some sort of mention. As gambling is legal in the UK, they tend to include fruit machines (aka slot machines) and various other things money-making games, so video games really take a back seat in places like these. They also really hate filming, I'm not sure why because it's free advertising, unless dodgy things are taking place lol
An amusement arcade (often referred to as "video arcade" or simply "arcade") is a venue where people play arcade games such as video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, merchandisers (such as claw cranes), or coin-operated billiards or air hockey tables. In some countries, some types of arcades are also legally permitted to provide gambling machines such as slot machines or pachinko machines. Games are usually housed in cabinets. The term used for ancestors of these venues in the beginning of the 20th century was penny arcades.Video games were introduced in amusement arcades in the late 1970s and were most popular during the golden age of arcade video games, the early 1980s. Arcades became popular with children and particularly adolescents, which led parents to be concerned that video game playing might cause them to skip school.

Not really, I live nowhere near by.
They have been scraped enyway
Went there and estimated you could spend £200 as a family of 4 and come away away with nothing, (an estimate)it's all set to attract you in an order to spend more than you think,walk fast through it and enjoy the view from the pier then walk out,you won't see many locals in there
You should have waived your Merlin wand and made them all disappear, and then make your £200 re-appear. That would be a neat trick!
I always think arcades are more about enjoying yourself while you're in them, rather than going purely to make a profit
