Arcade tips for Ladysmith

Hitting the arcades in Ladysmith? Play smarter:

• Bar-arcades: pace yourself at Black Diamond Collectibles. Drinks and games mix well until they don't. The machines get harder exactly as you get worse at them.
• Weekday mornings are empty at Wiffle Games. If you want a machine to yourself for practice, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
• 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.
• Ask about free-play nights. Some venues run flat-fee evenings where everything's unlimited. The best value in arcading, when you find it.
