Arcade tips for Airdrie

A few things worth knowing before you work through Airdrie's arcades:

• Bring friends for versus games at ¡Glitch! Gaming Lounge. Fighting games, racers, shooters — all built for two. Solo arcading is fine; versus arcading is the point.
• Weekday mornings are empty. If you want a machine to yourself for practice, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
• Pinball rewards regulars. Pinball tables have personalities and moods. Play the same table a few times and you'll start reading it.
• Ticket games are a tax. The prizes cost more in tickets than cash. Play them for fun, not for the giant plush — that's the most expensive plush alive.
