Zelky's Beach Arcade, North — Local services in Rehoboth Beach

I have been awarded MD, Mid-Atlantic & Inter-Continental award for wining ARCADE games. My 3 year old and I went to both locations in Delaware & you all must know ALL machines are rigged & when we spent 2 hours &. $363 to be exact, we walked out with a damn lollipop. No one, no one, I mean no o one, walked out of this horrible gimmick place & they are using little children to lure parents & their money only to reward little kids with NOTHING since ALL machines are rigged & you can’t win. As a CEO a top 100 industry in US , I will be filling formal complaint against ALL of their locations and surely, one state & hopefully federal regulators that myself & my lawyer will file a formal complaint with SE state gaming commission & will be involving every single agency, so that they can inspect every single un-rewarding & rigged machines they have operating in DE. In the meantime, DO NOT go there - staff is unfriendly & they really are unfriendly when you confront them, since they know what they’re doing could be illegal & my lawyer will be looking into the bottom of this all the way through. Keep your money & don’t make kids cry since no one can win there. Again, $363 & 3 hours, no one, I mean no one walked out with any prizes. Oh, just an FYI, a Five Below Elsa fake toy will cost you over 250,000 of their stupid rewards to get. Don’t go there & wait to hear about this...

Zelkys rigs their games. Even tried to talk to management before posting this picture. One of the employees told us that they had 4 major prize winners (a Saturday night) and that they didn’t want anyone else winning a major prize so they came to the machine where my kids had been playing for an hour trying to win a pair of Beats headphones. The employee said that they were instructed to cut the strap on the side of the Beats case so “no one can win them”. The look on my kids faces was awful. They had tried so hard to win because someone else had won in front of my boys that evening. One of my boys also witnessed the manager (a real Joey bag of D’s from NJ) stuff the crystal rocks in the bag of Beats making them heavier so they claw would drop them. I tried talking to two managers but they clearly only care about money and made it VERY clear they rig their games. I was able to get my credit card company to refund the $100 I spent and have filed a complaint with the BBB. Never ever ever expect to win a major prize there. That goes against their...

We love it here! Not crazy about the expansion (the new added space is super loud and lit too brightly), and they have fewer skee ball machines now. That was the real draw - 10 cent skee ball! But all in all, it's a lot of fun and the staff they hire are polite and helpful without fail.

If you don't like the crazy crowds and overwhelming noise of the other arcades, this is a great choice. There are now even more games based on skill rather than luck, like traditional carnival games and pinball machines, which is fun. The kids love winning tickets and cashing them in for prizes, and the folks at the counter have always been incredibly patient with my indecisive kiddos. It's just a fun place....
