Capitol Arcade

Great idea, needs some work. Found this place on a whim for my son’s birthday and figured it looked fun enough to try. First tried to call before arriving but phone number on website was disconnected, so we had to go in to ask our questions. 4 credits for a dollar and each game costs no more than 8 credits. Loading cards was easy and they’ve got a good deal on bonus credits when you buy a certain amount. But once it came to redeeming the credits, every other game if not every one, was having a “network maintenance” error. The bartender was nice enough to give us a few extra credits when we thought the games were taking credits from the cards due to the error but he reassured that they weren’t. Honestly took way longer than expected for the kids to go though their credits because every game was having network issues with scanning the cards. A few games were out of order and one game in particular had a part disconnected that made it impossible to actually beat it. Kids loved the mission box they have, that is when it was actually working. Spent most of their time waiting for the tiles to sense that they were in the safe zone to continue the levels. Mirror maze was cool. Bar has a nice selection. Bartender was nice and friendly. Overall a nice experience, but definitely left a bit to be desired. Especially with the network issues throughout the arcade. 5 stars if everything was in working order because it is a nice atmosphere and the kids had a good time. Will probably be back, hopefully the network issues are solved by then.
