Redefining Arcades for a New Generation
Singapore, March 2026: Arcades used to be all about high scores and flashing lights but today they are transforming into full blown social destinations. From VR experiences to cashless payments, arcades are undergoing a major shift.
On Industry Insights, Lynlee Foo speaks to Nesh Selva, General Manager, Timezone Singapore, to explore how operators like Timezone are keeping the fun and the business alive.
