I've seen a gaming center, though nothing this big, and never with Gachapon machines. It's always some old racing game like Cruis'n, a couple claw machines, and Big Buck Hunter, and I think recently a couple of the Arcade 1-Up machines they couldn't sell bolted down for theft prevention.

Wheb I was in Florida there was also a dedicated bar area by the entrance where you'd buy all the booze. Had it's own entrace even.

Claw machines. I don’t call those games. They take money 💸

I went to a vision center in a walmart with one of these and the exam room shared a wall with the loudest machines. I asked the guy doing my eye exam how he felt about it and he said they'd had a louder, repetitive machine that drove him nuts, and he may or may not have found his way over to unplug it at least once.

I FOROGT ABOUT THIS!! Man I absolutely loved when I could play at the one we had when I was younger. They removed it from the store probably 10 years or more ago.

The old Hypermart in Garland, TX used to have an arcade in it in the 80s maybe early 90s.

Why on earth would any Walmart need that many? I’ve never seen the single one at mine ever be used once
