Rare fact, a new arcade opens in Europe. Gamestate establishes itself within the Leisure Dome complex in Kerkrade, Netherlands. Beside the arcade, the leisure facilities include a cinema complex, a bowling, a mini golf in the dark, an Asian restaurant and an indoor playground. The arcade is 500m² and offers more than fifty machines. Unfortunately, the majority of them are ticket dispensing machines including video redemptions Temple Run, Fruit Ninja FX, Deal or No Deal and Doodle Jump Arcade. Gamestate has a special relationship with Namco who brought 4 Dead Heat cabinets there. We wish them a lot of success and hope they will extend their offer of arcade video games. Watch the promotional video to discover the location.
