Arcades in North Battleford

The map for North Battleford, SK's arcades is still blank. Our search covered roughly 40 km around North Battleford, looking through OpenStreetMap for arcades, and turned up nothing mapped so far.

The arcade regular's playbook

Until North Battleford has mapped arcades, here's how to work any venue. Go off-peak for your pick of machines. Check the payment system before you load up — tokens, cards, coins, all differ. Set a budget and stop when it's gone. Test the controls with one credit before committing. And bring a friend: everything's better head-to-head.

North Battleford sits about 53° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Arcades are gloriously weatherproof, and winter is peak season: when it's dark at five, the neon looks its best and the floors are busiest.

Ticket games deserve a warning: the prizes cost more in tickets than cash. Play them for fun, not for the giant plush.

Arcade smarts for North Battleford

No mapped arcades yet, but the arcade skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• End on a win. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
• 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.
• Set a budget. Arcade spending evaporates. Decide the amount up front, load it on the card, and stop when it's gone.
