Yeah in the Netherlands the arcades were usually a combination of slot machines and video arcades (with a barrier keeping the kids away from the slots). Over time the video arcades were pushed out the door and only the slot machines are left.

Ginsu Victim:
In Channelview, TX we had one arcade that had been an insurance office, and each room had several machines. That was a long time ago, but I recall they were the only place in the area that had a Super Pac-man (I hate that game now) and a Zaxxon. Zaxxon blew my little mind at the time.

We had a laundry mat with Clock and Dagger and Frogger, and a few businesses down, there was a gas station with Rastan(!), Shinobi, and vs Super Mario Bros. (Actually, now that I think about it, it wasn't Mario, it was the hack version with the skateboards.)

When I was in high school, we had a new principal come in my senior year (1998) and he was only 34, so he brought several machines into our cafeteria, including a pool table, jukebox, Ms Pac-man, Tiger Road, Rush n Attack, and X-Men (6-player!).

Dollar theater in North Shore had Popeye, Donkey Kong, Golden Axe, and Choplifter.

Kroger had Ms Pac-man, Rolling Thunder, Xenophobe, Double Dragon, and Rygar.

WAY back in the day, the San Jacinto mall had an awesome arcade with all the classics.
