But since I know a lot of people don't know.

Here's how it works.
Buy a 1$ red game card, it never expires and you just reload money on to it and you save all the points on it.
For the Club card it cost's 5$. (Keep in mind you have to pay 5$ per year)
The 5$ Game card comes with benefits. 
The benefits are you save a 1$ for every 10$ or more recharge. 
The club card has a special feature that lets you move up in tier. 
So... 
for 10 recharges you get Silver you save 1.25$, 
for 30 recharges you get Gold you save 1.50$, 
for 50 recharges you get Platinum you save 1.75$
For Unlimited time play (Green Games Only)
Red Card = 60 min.
Club Card = 70 min
Silver Card = 80 min
Gold/Platinum = 90 min 

FOR KIDS!
Kids Club Card has benefits just like a regular 5$ club card. But it only cost 3$ on it. 
And it comes with 3$ of credit already on it.
It also comes with 1 free game Bowling per kid/card.
As well as a free drink when purchasing 1 hour of karaoke. 
(You have to pay 3$ a year to keep it)

Kinda overpriced. Every arcade game is a minimum of 4 credits which is basically $1. So $1 a play seems a bit pricey. The air hockey table we played on was really old and worn, and the puck didn't stay flat on the table very well. It also didn't glide very well, I don't think there was enough air coming up from the table. 

They have claw machine games with no explanation on how they work, so you're just left to guess. Turns out you only get to press the button to move the claw one time and that's it. So we ended up wasting effectively $4 on nothing.

There's also a photo booth thing with no explanation of how it works. There's a tutorial video but there's no sound and it's just a guy talking, so you have no way of knowing what's going on until it's already taking your pictures and it's too late. 

All in all it's okay, only spent $15 total but still seemed overpriced to me.

I wish they had more staff walking around or at least one by the ufo catchers because I felt like I had to keep finding one to reset a game. I really like how kind they are though because I was trying to win a dog and I only had one more try so then a guy held t for me. It seems the staff want you to win and walk out happy. The staff was my only problem though. I’m thinking of going back over the weekend but I wanted to know when the prizes from the info catchers get switched out. Anybody help?

We went here for a birthday party with just three if us adults.  There was no wait for a lane, it was around 8 pm on Saturday. The shoes were good, service was good, and we had a great time. The staff does seem young and inexperienced but you could tell they were trying and we didn't have a problem at all. We will definitely be back.

(April 2017) We had a great experience at the arcade here! We haven't tried out the karaoke and the downstairs facilities (food, bowling, pool tables) yet, but my group and I had a lot of fun playing the various arcade games upstairs. There are many, many options to choose from- it would take several hours just to play each game once! 

I may not have been to an arcade like this in a while, but I was really impressed with the selection of machines available. There's just about something for everyone, and most of the machines seem quite modern. My guess is that they don't have anything from before 2005- and with that being said, there seemed to be several classics to choose from if you were looking for some nostalgia.

As other reviewers have mentioned, there are some Japanese machines here that don't have English instructions. Although we had almost no clue what we were doing while we were using them, we had a good time messing around in one of the photo booths, and playing some of the arcade games. My goofy photo booth print-out sits on my desk now, and I enjoy the memories I have of arranging the print-out. If you're pretty open-minded, I'm sure you'll have fun with the foreign machines too.

We paid $5 for a Club membership account and about $50 for credits, and with that we were able to take turns & play together in the arcade for about 3 hours (so about $4/hr/person for us). We went in during the late evening, so it wasn't too crowded; the longest wait we had to go through was for buying a game card + credits at the booth. As the arcade got more crowded during the evening, we noticed that the air didn't seem to circulate so well around the area, so we'd spend a few minutes outside in the mall every now and then. During our time, the employees weren't ever a bother to us while we were using the machines.

You may want to spend the extra buck to get better deals on credits, but the arcade at Round 1 is worth checking out if you're interested in the machines they've got to offer.
