Arcade tips for Vienna

A few things worth knowing before you work through Vienna's arcades:

• Check the payment system first at Game Station 1150. Tokens, reloadable cards, coins, or tap-to-play — every venue differs. Ask at the counter before you feed the wrong thing.
• Nudge (gently) at Flipperasyl. Pinball machines tolerate nudging; they tilt at abuse. Learn the line and your scores double.
• Weekday mornings are empty. If you want a machine to yourself for practice, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
• Go off-peak. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
