What Should Be In Your Home Game Room? 1080 1080 GAD Vending

GAD gets asked these questions all the time:

What are the best games for my house? How do I measure the space I need? Can I get your games upstairs/downstairs? Do you sell to home users?

Well, yes, we sell to home users. And we know the answers to all these questions. But every home user is a bit different, so we’ll leave this to a direct conversation!

What we will say in this article is some of our favorite home use games.

Because all these games are commercial grade, they are developed with the best in industry game play. This gives you the best in the new Internet apps gaming. And the best quality play fields, consoles and game play.

When these games are set up for home use – free play – the game acceptor devices are not necessary. And this can be a large portion of a commercial game expense.

DIGITAL DARTS

GAD is an authorized distributor for Arachnid Digital Darts. We stock Galaxy 3 Fire and Galaxy 3 Plus. We also have refurbished 2.5’s available at various times.

The great part of digital darts is you can play to practice or play against your friends and family. When done, this console takes a small floor space and is a great game that anyone can play.

CLASSIC-CADE

Our Classic-Cade is a 60+ classic game in one game! Available in either a cocktail table or stand up console.

The cocktail table is great for home use because two players can engage in games all night – or it is a table! Kids love the classic games and it helps their hand-eye coordination while keeping them engages.

GAD has these games in stock.

 

PINBALL

GAD stocks pinball of all types, for all age groups and all are available for home purchase.

Consider for the younger family Toy Story 4, Hot Wheels and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For the middle schoolers and high school age range, think Legends of Valhalla, Godzilla, The Mandalorian and Star Wars. For the heavy metal fan, we usually stock Guns ‘n Roses, Led Zeppelin, and Rush. And for everyone – Elvira, James Bond 007, Jurassic Park and Cactus Canyon.

So many amazing pinball games to choose from, so little floorspace! Yes, you should choose wisely. Call GAD to find where to play your short list of games.

Up Your Game Room
Up Your Game Room 800 598 GAD Vending

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, or unused dining room.
    • Adding a three season room.
  • How much space does my favorite game need? 
    • Darts require a 5′ wide x 11 ‘ long to safely play.
    • For an average pinball machine dimensions are 29″ wide x 76″ tall x 56″ deep.
      • Make sure you can fit the machine through the door and turns in the staircase.
    • 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.)
  • How should I decide what game to buy?
    • Personal taste.
    • Who’s going to play? Adults, kids, mix?
      • Do you want all the kids in the neighborhood?
      • Do you want to be the entertainment spot for all your friends?
    • Space limitations.
    • Team vs Individual play.
  • Relax the Space
    • You should consider where the TV’s are going.
    • Sofa or other relax space.
    • Bar or fridge.
    • Consider a basketball station or other games to play between machines.
    • Make a “circuit”. Create a flow to compete with your family and friends around the room.
  • Lighting
    • Lighting can set the mood. Create excitement. Add dimension to the games.
    • Many don’t think of lighting and do a last minute rush job, 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 posted a few ideas on this article for you to consider. And, we are happy to help you answer the preliminary design questions before you commit to your project.

Bonus – between now and 11/22/2022 we are giving a free shaker motor, installed, to any new purchase of home pinball.

The Classic-Cade comes available in a table or console version. Choose the configuration right for your game room.

 

Pinball

Pinball is the ultimate, classic game.

Choose from titles like Star Wars Comic Pin, Jurassic Park Pin and TMNT for younger audiences. Check out Godzilla, The Mandalorian and Avengers for a junior high school age audience.
