Very sad. I knew the US had pretty much lost the industry, but not Japanland.

Yeah, it's pretty sad.
But really, there are still arcades all over the place here, and the good ones usually have plenty of people in them whenever I go.
While in the US arcades tend to rely on ticket redemption games, on this side of the pond it seems that UFO Catchers/Crane Games and Pachinko/Slots probably make up the majority of their income.

So basically just different forms of the same idea? Play a game; get something. People are motivated by rewards--even when the rewards are worthless.LikeableRodent wrote:While in the US arcades tend to rely on ticket redemption games, on this side of the pond it seems that UFO Catchers/Crane Games and Pachinko/Slots probably make up the majority of their income.
