Disappointed. I liked going with my kids here from time to time. I enjoyed playing the ring toss game because if I was doing well I could hit 850 for the bonus tickets 1 out of 4 plays. Each time I went I would spend at least $60 and walk out with 2,000-3,000 tickets, as I was saving them to get my kids one of the big stuffed animals.
A few weeks ago I made the mistake of hitting the bonus multiple times in front of the counter guy, so the next week when I came in, the score to get the ticket bonus was increased from 850 to 950. It’s irritating and I probably won’t be back for a while because of this.
I’m not a big spender, and I know they won’t miss my business, but each time I went I’d spend at least $60 between myself and my kids. so basically planning on spending $400 or so to get a stuffed animal I can find on Amazon for $60. I felt that was a fair deal, but apparently they were losing money on the ring toss game.

Read moreIt was a sad day today as my boyfriend and I decided that we aren’t going to the arcade anymore. One of our favorite games (that we win at frequently) was made harder to play. When we asked he said that too many people came in and were winning so he made it harder. What’s the point of going to an arcade and not trying to win a bonus? (Just to be clear the game is hard as it is and we played it almost 15 times and didn’t win a single bonus today) We’ve gone there for 4 years and today we decided we’re done. We spent $28 and only won 2,000 tickets. On average we would have won 8,000. We can’t afford to go to an arcade and spend $30 to win 10 fun dip packets. Very...
Read moreWell, me and the kids had another great evening at the Electric Rainbow! Turns out, it WAS worth going back, and we had just as much fun as the first time. So thank you Electric Rainbow for providing an (old school type of feeling) arcade that kids and adults can enjoy equally. At least this big kid anyway! 🤓 So, to any other "big" kids in the area who enjoyed playing SKEET BALL, PINBALL, MS. PACMAN, and then redeeming your the tickets that you've won for prizes....yup... it's still a good time, and it's still happening here in SF. . Soound up your posse, and go check it out. For an inexpensive blast from the past, Electric Rainbow is where you...
