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.

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.
