It is exactly what it looks like: an arcade simulator where you can play virtual arcade games pretty darn similar to the ones you'd find at Dave n Busters. There's no overarching story or time-sensitive mission system, just you and arcades. There's lots of variety to the arcade games, and the prizes are adorable. If you want more bite to your game, you can activate a Survival mode that requires you to earn money for the arcades (instead of getting it for free whenever you want) with odd jobs and you need to eat every once in a while to prevent starvation. There's something for everyone in this game! :D

About This Game
The Coin Game is a fun-filled arcade adventure on an island packed with ticket games, quirky robots, and endless activities. Explore realistic arcades with machines inspired by modern favorites and swap your tickets for prizes at redemption areas. Head to Larry's Arcade to jam with animatronics Teddy and the Ticket Eaters, or try UFO Arcade's space-themed games, Laser Tag, and Indoor Go-Karting. Don’t miss the ‘90s-style indoor mall with its own arcade, food court, shops, and even a cinema to watch your own movies. Just watch out for the minions – they’re big fans of Teddy and can challenge you in Laser Tag! Looking for more adventure? Make a splash at Lenny's WaterPark or show your skills at mini-golf and RC boat racing at pirate-themed One Eyed Billie’s. And don’t forget the Traveling Carnival with 20+ classic games, rides, and new prizes.
For a challenge, Survivor Mode lets you start with limited funds. Keep an eye on your health and energy (right on your wristwatch) by grabbing food around the island. Jerry’s got the healthy stuff if you can afford it, but junk food’s always cheap!
Run out of money? Scavenge dumpsters, hop on your bike and deliver newspapers around the island, or hit up the Pawn Shop to sell extra prizes. Otherwise you might have to beg Uncle Phil for some extra allowance!
If you just want to relax, activate Birthday Mode and live the good life with unlimited cash courtesy of Uncle Phil. Play however you like and enjoy your time at the arcades! Fill your belly with soda pop and cheesy poofs leaving sticky fingerprints on over 50 different games and machines.
There are plenty of ways to travel around the island. Take the bus, your very own golf cart, bike or Mom's van. Or maybe walk to burn all that fast food you just had at the mall. Be careful though, there is lots of highway traffic and tourist activity on the island so make sure to keep off the roads.
You can play The Coin Game with any mouse, keyboard or any Dual stick/pad controller. The game includes an easy to use key mapping system to support virtually any controller or peripheral. So you can play The Coin Game any way that you like.
Ready for the ultimate arcade escape?
Features:
50+ modern inspired arcade machines.

Multiple ways to traverse the island in style.

- Runs under Proton on Linux.
- vehicles are all bugged for me... useless to play now
other than being an amazingly accurate simulation for arcade games, you can really tell the work that's been put into it. Highly recommend buying it!
I love this game and I wish there was a multiplayer added either with servers so you can play with lots of people or just a 2+ server with friends or both cause yes this game takes your life away and 2 hours goes by and it feels like its been 5 min but thats all I love the game
this games really fun if you play it properly instead of buying lottery tickets over and over until you die of exhaustion
I love this game. It feels like one of those dreams I had as a kid of going to an arcade with infinite money. Great way to gamble without actually spending money
I purchased the game back in 2021 but refunded due to bugginess- decided to give it a shot again in 2025 but even though there are slight improvements there are now even more glitches than when I first played, and now I can't refund the game because my playtime has gone too high from both attempts of this game. Regret giving it another shot now
Elegant game of a much simpler time
Amazing game! Would totally recommend to anyone who loves arcade games! Especially Dave & Buster's fans!
