Arcade tips for Coleraine

Hitting the arcades in Coleraine? Play smarter:

• Ticket games are a tax at Funland. The prizes cost more in tickets than cash. Play them for fun, not for the giant plush — that's the most expensive plush alive.
• Learn the ticket-to-prize math at The Big Red Game Centre. Glance at the prize counter before playing ticket games. If the math horrifies you, play the video games instead.
• Check machine maintenance. A venue that maintains its machines cares. Dead screens and sticky buttons are a review of the management.
• End on a win. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Coleraine — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new arcade in Coleraine can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 3 that's closed, or a great arcade we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list machine lineups — they change too often. What we list is the where: real venues, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 3 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
