I'm surprised there aren't more token users in here. I have all of the custom tokens offered here from Santoro and love them. Now it's getting to be quite a nice bucket. Sure, most of the arcades I frequented when I was a kid used quarters but they aren't as cool as tokens. Tokens have a certain wow factor when people see them in my arcade. |

Cash is more inconvient than tokens at this point IMO. --- End quote --- An arcade here in town has cards you can buy to swipe for games, these totally blow not only do you miss out on the sound of the token/quarter going through the mechs, it just doesn't feel right. The redemption games don't even spit out tickets as they are now added to your card. here's my token bucket: |

swipe cards totally kills the pure joy of an arcade, although a good argument can be made that dumping in 6 quarters for 1 play of a modern arcade game is an equal joy kill. Funny thing is, I noticed the same problem in Casino slot machines as well. I don't gamble much, but without a possible payout of a vast pile of quarters, it makes me want to go to a Casino even less. I guess I have primitive joys: colorful lights, fun sounds, and shiny objects. |
