In this episode of Open Coin Door, Tim and Collins recap a whirlwind week at Reclaim Arcade. From the excitement of the Women Flipping Out pinball tournament and a packed Goth night with a “Guilty Pleasures” twist, to the harsh reality of a summer birthday bash that turned out to be a bust, they share the highs and lows of running events at a retro arcade bar.

You’ll hear about new streaming integrations with Match Play, the challenges of DJing for themed nights, lessons learned from a flop, and the importance of listening to community feedback. Plus, they dive into ideas for future Saturday events like video game tournaments, developing mocktail menus, and other ways to keep the arcade vision strong.

It’s a candid look at what it takes to build community, experiment with events, and stay true to the soul of an arcade in 2025.
