My arcade days were limited to one week per year at KU basketball camp, where there was an arcade with TAF, IJ, DESW, and JP. The rest were vids, and the most popular were Mortal Kombat, the T2 gun game and Neo Geo. Good times.
The other arcade I visited most often would be Penny Arcade during summer vacations in Manitou Springs, CO. Tons of EMs for 5-10 cents/play, and lots of other antique novelty games. You could spend an afternoon there for just a buck.
