Arcade tokens are primarily used as a specialized currency for operating coin‐ or token-operated machines in arcades, amusement parks, and similar venues. Tokens are inserted into arcade machines (e.g., pinball, racing games, claw machines) to activate gameplay. Each token typically grants one play, though some games may require multiple tokens for extended playtime or premium features.
Custom arcade tokens aren’t just about a way to pay for games—they’re a powerful branding, promotional, and customer experience tool. Custom tokens can feature unique logos, colors, and designs that reinforce your brand. They help create a memorable experience that stands out from competitors. A custom token isn’t merely currency—it can evoke nostalgia and add to the tactile, immersive arcade atmosphere. When players handle a token that reflects your arcade’s personality, it deepens their connection to the experience.
1. What are custom arcade tokens?
