Arcade Breakdown

All Plywood Advantage

We use 3/4” plywood for the ultimate in durability, beauty, and overall longevity. Other builds use fibre board which is twice the weight and half the strength as plywood. It’s also brittle and prone to water damage and swelling. The entire cabinet we use is finished with a durable layer of black laminate.

Using an LCD screen means our cabinets are slim and easy to move. At about half the depth of a traditional arcade cabinet, you’ll save space in your game room.

Arcade Graphics

We don’t just see an arcade as a gaming machine, we also see it as a piece of art! Each arcade is built a little differently to reflect the personality and tastes of the owner. Our graphic artist team will work to design the artwork for your arcade. Show off your favorite games or even have it be subtle and blend into the room for a sleek look. Whatever you want, we will design!

Once the design is done, we will have it printed and ready to go onto your arcade! We start with thick air-release vinyl in a matte finish. To protect the vinyl and keep it looking fresh and vibrant we apply a thick polycarbonate matte laminate to every print. The industry standard is to just wrap the control panel. Why only protect one piece? Here at Phantom Arcades, we wrap the WHOLE arcade!

LED Buttons

LED Buttons – Coming standard on all arcades will be LED buttons! When the arcade turns on so will the buttons.

LED Buttons with Controller – An upgradable feature is to have a controller connected to the buttons that will only illuminate the buttons if they are needed for the game that is being played! This is a great visual feature to have, that way you will not have to guess how many buttons are needed for a game. Simply load the game, and look down as you will see only how many buttons are needed to play!

RGB Buttons with controller – To go one step further, RGB LEDs can be installed in each button, that way not only will the buttons illuminate if needed but also will change colors to match the color of the original button from that game.

Kick panel

LCD Kick Panel Screen – A vertically mounted screen! When a game is loaded, the matching flyer for that game will be displayed.
