I was at dezerland this week. It does appear that the number of games in the “palace” has been reduced since my previous visit (about a year ago). I didn’t go into the “palace” as when I did last year, the games were in bad shape.
They moved a dozen or so pins out by the arcade area. Those machines have card swipers on them, same as the arcade games. However, on the three games I tried, the card swipers didn’t work. One did nothing, and the other two took my money but never added credits to the game.
Game maintenance is a bit of a joke at dezerland. That holds true for the arcade games too. We got ripped off multiple times during our visit. Same applies to their bathrooms, yuck.
And the staff, half of them look and act like they did bong hits in the back of the place.
On a positive note, there were a lot more food venues this time, and I believe the car museum has expanded. There’s a carousel too, although nobody was working at it when we were there.
