game center

Entertainment venue destination

A game center is a venue with arcade machines, video games, and other coin-operated entertainment—what Americans typically call an arcade.

The term is common in Asian countries, particularly Japan, where game centers are cultural institutions featuring everything from fighting games to crane machines.

Apple's Game Center is a social gaming network for iOS devices, connecting players for multiplayer games and tracking achievements.
