Arcade tips for Courtenay

The regulars' rules for Courtenay's arcades:

• Test the controls before committing at Archie's Entertainment. Joysticks drift, buttons stick, guns misalign. One test credit saves a wasted game.
• Learn the ticket-to-prize math. Glance at the prize counter before playing ticket games. If the math horrifies you, play the video games instead.
• Ask about tournaments. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.
• End on a win. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
