The arcades may be a part of your childhood, but they serve a whole new purpose in GTA Online. If you are somebody looking for a stable source of income in GTA Online, Arcades may not be worth your time because they can earn around $100K daily until the safe is full.

However, there are a few reasons why you might want to get one:

  • For the Diamond Casino Heist (which can’t be completed solo).
  • For more parking space because it comes with a standard garage for 10 vehicles.
  • So you can make it a base of operations and manage almost all your businesses in one place.

If you meet any of these requirements, you should go ahead and buy an Arcade. If not, then it’s best that you invest your money in another business that may be worth your time for a better income.

Before You Open an Arcade Business

There are some things you should keep in mind while opening an Arcade business. Keep in mind the following tips before you take any major steps:

  • When buying an Arcade, don’t buy a property too far north or south of the city. This is because if your main focus is the Diamond Casino Heist, the set-up missions will become more difficult for you than the actual heist.
  • If you are aiming for the said heist, the Arcade on the east side of the city, “Videogeddon – La Mesa” is the closest to the heist location.
  • When buying, you don’t need to buy any additional customizations. However, we recommend that you invest in the Personal Quarters under the Extras category.
  • The setup mission will have you stealing four Arcade cabinets. You don’t have to buy more of these. Instead, you can simply duplicate the existing ones and edit what games they will have on them. I don’t think the variety of games make a difference on the income but you can make it all varied for aesthetic purposes. And moreover, for your own enjoyment because they are all playable.
  • Next, your office has a safe where all your income will be stored up to $100K. The room also has a laptop from where you can buy more upgrades.
  • Your secret bunker will most probably be hiding behind a weird machine in your office. This is where your 10-car parking will be. The hidden bunker is your base of operations and will contain your bed, armory, and wardrobe if you have bought the Personal Quarters. This should also work as a spawn point.
  • You can then buy the Master Control terminal. It is pretty expensive but it will help you access upgrades for most of your businesses, saving you a lot of time.

This is about all the knowledge that you need to run a successful, legal Arcade in GTA Online. Next up, you can use it as you please. It shouldn’t have any police raids because the business itself is technically legal and you will also get to store your heist set ups here.
