Question: WHERE ELSE on Southend On Sea seafront would you be able to come and experience so many old skool ‘classic’ fruit machines from the late 90’s to the early 2000’s? Answer : NO WHERE ! Only one place FANTASIA AMUSEMENTS You tubers very welcome. **Please arrange with Alan should you wish to film some retro action of the great machines available to play** Actively supporting “keeping the fun in playing” and the “keeping the vibe alive” of what’s considered by some “The golden years of fruit machine production” No digital monstrosities just inexpensive staked, action-packed, reel-based classics. New machines arriving frequently ensuring a classic with your mane on it ! Play safe. Play within your means. Most Of all play to have FUN. Not only do they host an array of classic fruits but also have a wide range of nostalgic Tuppenny pushers for family entertainment where generous amounts of prizes are there to be won by all.

Our favourite arcade to visit, love the 2p coin pushers.

What's happened???? All the old Classic fruit machines have been removed they only came in about 6 months ago what was the point in getting them in the first place. Sadly it's all going to be Ticket Redemption games with all the old Prizes that have been there for Donkeys years. The Arcade is more than big enough to have plenty of Classic fruit machines & loads of ticket Redemption games. That way all customers are happy. Member of staff Alan is nice and friendly with customers.

A very good arcade with some absolute classic machines, me and my brother in law visit on a regular basis, its good honest fun and run by a honest family who always go out of their way.... out of every arcade on the Southend Seafront this one has to be the best!!

Wangan midnight maximum tune 3! Enough said really. Well in reality they're getting rid of all the games here and there's also no cards for WMMT3, although it will work with any cards you already have. Visit before these classics are gone forever from here at least

I popped in today on the replies from the management to reviews on Google and from other people's observations. Along Southend seafront there are numerous arcades with flashing lights and lots of toys and prizes being shown as potential wins. For some unknown reason I have been playing the tuppenny nuddger machines trying my best to get the one or two small items being placed as bait for the potential recipient. I know that I will have to throw a few quid at it to get what is possibly a 25p keyring or other lavish offering. This I know and it's my choice to indulge myself in this quite amazing hobby. The best thing in this establishment is that the staff were not going round after someone had ploughed all of their money into the tuppenny nuddger and moved all the items to the middle of the machine again. I thank you for doing that,you said in your replies that you don't so hats off to you. A few little wins here and there is a good feeling and to see a smile on a face of someone who has managed to get a little token from the machine is a good thing. The arcade has lots of old style machines so don't expect the latest gizmos and VR experiences. But do expect a level playing field as so far they are true to their word and I have not seen the vulturesque, Scrooge shenanigans that the other arcades adopt and have no shame in taking pocket money from children. Thanks Fantasia, I will get my tuppenny nuddger fix at your place in future.

Such an amazing arcades Great value for money and the children leave with pockets full of toys! The employees are so lovely, friendly and always have a smile Great family arcades with the best toys : Special thanks to Allan for making our visit special : Best arcades on the sea front :

Sadly the Owner has removed all Classic fruit machines which people like me were coming down for. He is going to put low % ticket games and same old prizes that have been in Arcade for years. He now be the same as all the other low % ticket payouts Arcades in Southend. He may as well just give the Arcade to John Remblance.

Veay friendly and helpful staff.need investment older machines good for younger kids the 2 p drop machines .shame looks like someone's lost interest. allway had good prices on the tickets no the last 2 years have been hard for all company's.

Brought the kids in the other day, All I can say is friendly staff, great prizes, and good value for money. Loved the retro machines. Kids left happy with loads of prizes more than you get in the other arcades. Now that will be their favourite arcade on the seafront. Will definitely be coming back soon.
