Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Providence — 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 Providence can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 8 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 8 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.
