Arcade tips for Whanganui

The regulars' rules for Whanganui's arcades:

• Ask staff for recommendations at Play2Win. Staff know which machines are new, which are broken, and which have the loosest tilt sensors. Ask.
• Check the payment system first. Tokens, reloadable cards, coins, or tap-to-play — every venue differs. Ask at the counter before you feed the wrong thing.
• Ask about free-play nights. Some venues run flat-fee evenings where everything's unlimited. The best value in arcading, when you find it.
• Save your high-score photo. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.
