The first major arcade/amusement trade show of the year is already upon us, the EAG International 2015 Expo being held in London, UK.

(Thanks to Jon for the tip) This is a story we should have ran in October but I did not hear about it until now. Thus it can be filed under the “Better Late Than Never” category. In October 2014, a new arcade venue opened the doors for customers in Monroe, WA called Let’s »

Well that is a wrap on IAAPA 2014 for me – I leave this morning for a slightly colder venue (this week was the coldest I have ever felt in Florida, not that it was truly comparable to Utah) and I had the opportunity to see most everything I needed to see, save a »

While most news this week will focus on IAAPA, there are other news developments taking place such as new arcade venues opening their doors soon. I received this in my email today so I figured it is best to get to it before all my time is spent on editing pictures and video. On »
