At the Gaming Room

One day I’m going to go in here and play every single one of these machines and see if I can win a teddy bear or whatever toy is winnable.

Probably won’t win the teddy bear, I never ever win anything (that’s why I don’t pay much attention to Lotto) but still, playing on these machines has to be some kind of experience that I think I should try at least once in my life.

I like the older woman’s nonplussed look on her face and her body language; she’s probably wondering what the world’s coming to. People and their ongoing fascination with electronic gadgets of all types, big and small.

those machines aren't designed to let you win lol
I must admit it seems odd to have these machines on such a pardise island - but yeah, that's what the world is coming to I guess

Arcades are fun in a way- I like photographing all the colors and lights in them. The pinball machines are the most fun. Even if you don't win anything, watching the ball ping around in there and make all the dingers and clangers go off is fun to watch. The games where you have to toss something or throw something through a hoop etc. are the worst, because they are purposely constructed to be difficult. But yes, a fun experience to do at least once- perhaps not bucket list worthy- but fun.

I think she's a grandma who can't understand what the fascination her grandchildren have with these games is all about. She seems t be saying, "Come on- let's go. I'm hungry and want to grab a bite to eat!" Good candid shot.

This is good story telling. She (the one in the red dress) looks interested but still skeptical

Lovely candid shot. Do not start!

@ oh, now you’ve really set the ball rolling ;-)
Just kidding. I hear you. Probably become an arcade gaming junkie.

Good street shot. Would be fun with a group of friends.
