An amusement arcade that now boasts some of the biggest hit games of the 1980’s, bringing a touch of nostalgia for Generation X and something new for Gen Z, has been voted as one of the UK’s most popular. 

The arcade has over 200 games to play, including 80’s classics like Super Mario Brothers and Pac-Man. It offers those of a certain age a trip down memory lane to their childhood while keeping their children entertained with something new to them that Mum and Dad can share their knowledge of how to play the oldies but goldies.

Two years ago, Arcade Club Blackpool opened on Bloomfield Road and has now won the accolade of being the fifth most popular gaming arcade in the UK. Not a bad result for a venue that has been running for such a short time. Vegas Slots Online presented the prize.

The stats included: 

• average time of three hours in the arcade 
• 4,400 monthly searches for the arcade on Google 
• average enjoyment score of 7.4/10

• Street Fighter 
•  Outrun 
•  Point Blank 
•  R-Type 
•  Golden Axe 
•  Super Mario Bros

A family has been operating the arcade for 50 years, and both customers and industry experts have praised them.
