Lost Vegas Arcade, Belgium

Lost Vegas Arcade is a large collection of video game arcade cabinets and gambling machines, which are stored in an old car dealership in Belgium. At one side of the warehouse, are a vast number of red slot machine chairs emblazoned with a smiling clown logo.  It is not currently known why these machines are stored here, or by whom. It is likely that the machines and chairs represent the remnants of a failed casino/arcade, and are being stored here until they can be sold on or a new venue found to house the collection.

The warehouse is very dark inside, and water drips from the leaking roof echo loudly on the concrete floor.

Lost Vegas Arcade is a large and impressive collection of gambling machines. There are some old-fashioned mechanical fruit machines, but most appear to be more modern variations with CRT screens instead of physical reels. There are many “themes” to these slot machines: Money Storm, Crazy Fruits, Deep Pockets, Monster Mansion, Cleopatra etc. Spread amongst these numerous slot machines are also various themed “Wheel of Fortune” type gambling machines. At one side of the room is a collection of virtual poker machines, as well as some actual poker tables. There is also an old roulette wheel.

There are also video game arcade cabinets, including two classic Sega racing games; Manx TT SuperBike, and Daytona USA. Hidden away in dark corners are some shooting/light gun cabinets; Time Crisis 2, Virtua Cop 2 and Silent Scope. There is also Alpine Racer 2, a Namco produced skiing game.
