What Should You Add to Your Home Game Room?

A home game room can be as simple as the niche under the stairs or as elaborate as you can imagine.

These are some of the ideas you should consider:

What kind of space do you have?
- Basement, attic, garage, bedroom, or other unused space.
How much space does my ultimate game need?
- Darts require a 5′ wide x 11 ‘ long to safely play.
- For an average machine dimensions are 29″ wide x 76″ tall x 56″ deep. Make sure you can fit the machine through the door.
- Rule of thumb for shuffleboard is to add 2′ to each side of the table plus 3′ at either end to the dimensions of the table.
- Pool Table minimum space is 14′ x 18′. (Yes, GAD has commercial grade pool tables too.)
What game should I buy?
- Personal taste.
- Who’s going to play? Adults, kids, mix?
Relax the Space
- You should consider where a TV is going. Or at least one TV.
- Sofa or other relax space.
- Bar or fridge.
- Basketball station.
Lighting
- Many don’t think of lighting or skimp, but don’t! You’ll want to see the silver ball, darts or pool angles to completely enjoy your games.

At GAD we’ve seen many amazing game rooms. And, we are happy to help you answer the preliminary design questions before you commit to your project.

Bond. James Bond. (As only Stern can do…)

Bond. James Bond.

What a fabulous famous line. So, how did Stern take the volume of 007 movies and make 4 classic pinball machines? It was a tough duty but one Stern did with great reverence to the franchise.

There are 4 versions available – Pro, Premium, Limited and a (coming soon) 60th Anniversary Limited Edition.

Stern decided to take the favorite Bond, Sean Connery, as the prime focus of these games. Underwater Bond fight. The Austin Martin. The Bond girls, the villain’s, and Spectre.

How easy is it to get your own Stern pinball game to your home? Do any combination of these steps:

Take a look at the games on Stern’s website.
Go play at a commercial location – Stern’s Pinball Locator.
Call GAD and talk with one of our Stern experts.
- Find out about the various versions.
- Get a full quote.
- Order your game.
- Pick up or arrange for delivery.

Perfect Game Room Ideas for 2022

Perfect Game Room Ideas for 2022 https://gadvending.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/home-gameroom.jpg 526 526 GAD Vending GAD Vending https://gadvending.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/home-gameroom.jpg 16th September 2022 16th September 2022

There’s a reason why pinball, arcade games and pool tables are popular. No matter our age, we just want to have fun at the end of the day (or all day and all night long). And reallocating space, for having your very own game room is, well, a game-changer.

It’s important to create a game room that surpasses everything your family expects!

First, decide on what space to transform. Unfinished basement? Unused attic? Garage? Maybe a shed that begs for a new life?

Design your space. Take into account lounge spaces, music, and kitchen/bar. Add fun elements like an indoor swing, slide or climbing wall. Create a gym area. Consider painting a wall with chalkboard paint. Add TV’s on the walls. Make sure to add extra comfortable seating for game console play, movie watching or cheering for your favorite team.

Then, look to GAD for your home game room equipment. GAD carries pinball, pool, foosball, shuffleboard, Golden Tee, and arcade games. Commercial and residential game versions and all for sale to the public.

New for home game rooms 2022:

Pac Man Air Hockey
Stern Pinball newest Cornerstone or select any of the incredible Stern pinball line
American’s newest Legends of Valhalla or (our favorite) Hot Wheels
Golden Tee Home Edition
Galaxy Fire Darts

GAD has warehouses with games in Omaha, KC and Des Moines. With many games, pool and pinball in stock, GAD is ready to give you quotes and arrange pick up or delivery.
