Arcade tips for Santiago de Cuba

The regulars' rules for Santiago de Cuba's arcades:

• Respect the machine queue at Ocio Club. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
• Check for party packages at CyberExpresso. Birthday parties at arcades are a whole industry. If you're organising one, book ahead — weekends sell out.
• Check the retro corner. The old cabinets in the back are often the best-maintained — they're somebody's pride and joy.
• Go off-peak. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
