I am sure that was part of it.
IMO, Pinball, Skeeball, Gun Games were replaced with video games.
By the 90's video games at home took over, at arcades were not profitable.
Also rents in many areas soared, due to the franchising of Retail stores Selling high Profit
Goods from imports, and then NAFTA.
An arcade couldnt draw the revenue, and products like Slot Machines for Williams was in larger
demand.
