Arcades in Riga
Arcades are pure joy per dollar. Riga, Riga has 7 mapped right now. That's 7 arcades mapped around Riga. Machine condition varies wildly between venues, so the one with the best-maintained cabinets wins regardless of size. Off-peak hours mean shorter waits on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats.
This guide covers every arcade we could verify in and around Riga (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include VR Ādaži and Another world, plus O'learys. If an arcade's missing from Riga's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Arcade tips for Riga
Hitting the arcades in Riga? Play smarter:
- Check the payment system first at VR Ādaži. Tokens, reloadable cards, coins, or tap-to-play — every venue differs. Ask at the counter before you feed the wrong thing.
- Set a budget at Another world. Arcade spending evaporates. Decide the amount up front, load it on the card, and stop when it's gone.
- Watch the regulars first. The high-score table tells you which machines are hot and who's worth watching. Fifteen minutes of watching teaches plenty.
- Respect the machine queue. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Riga — 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 Riga can take a while to appear. The 7 above are only as current as the community map. A arcade that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
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 7 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.
