Edit: It's just slots like the ones at the sketchy gas stations.
I ate lunch at Arby's and noticed next door there is a business with a sign that says "Adult Game Lounge."
Does anyone know what it is? Maybe I'm naive, but I would like to think it's Galaga and beer. However, I'm skeptical with the word "Adult" in the name.
That's what I was leaning towards, using Bradshaw's Razor for my reasoning: "In Springfield, the most depressing and mundane answer is likely the correct one."
If you check it out and it's more "adult" than that please report back immediately.... for informational purposes only
Old video games would have been more my speed, but if I check it out I'll be sure to let you know so you can organize a protest with your church group.
Thanks. I think we can take a break from our weekend protesting downtown to go to another den of sin.
Might be an internet arcade
We were right. It's just sad people in a dark room throwing money away.

These are all over Illinois
As someone who worked a crazy late shift, I have a soft spot for them. I don't like to gamble myself, but at least half the places still open when I get off work are open for the VLC machines. If I want a snack on my way home, I go to the Sinclair with the VLC. The only head shop I go to is Smoke Science because they're open late for VLC users. (Admittedly that one's pretty uncommon these days. So tired of scanning QR codes to find alt cannabis products that aren't scary.) If there was a grocery store open until 2am for VLC players, I'd be there once a week minimum. I don't even like to gamble with fake money in video games, but if someone else can have fun keeping a store open late for me, I'll take it.
I don't really have an opinion on them either way, I was just hoping it was something cooler than that. Like something I might find fun.
just gambling stuff
I've never ever seen these games in head shops. Always janky gas stations and such
Judgmental much
Not really. People should be able to do what they want with their money. As long as it's not hurting anyone, I don't care.
But the people I've seen playing those machines at gas stations don't typically seem happy and full of life to me, hence why I called them sad.
They’re all over the place now. Kearney has a ton. The one I go to for my vapes is on kimbrough near the flea.
Didn't say I didn't see them at all. .said I haven't seen them in head shops

I think it's just one of those head shops that is filled to the ass with gambling machines.
