In my home country of Pakistan there are Arcades on every street corner. The kids are always there. I do not see much of this in the USA. Only in like the Mall or an arcade here and there like in a pizza place or something.
I know that it is expensive to start. I want to have something different. I also want to have a food place inside as well. I live in Sacramento, CA.
Please give me any suggestions like how I will attract so amny kids.

In the United States the Arcade has came and gone. Arcade's were really popular in the late 70's thru the 80's and into the mid 90's. I'm speaking of game room arcades.
What happen? The cost to have your own computer or home game system was reasonable. So Nintendo, Atari, commodore, apple, Texas instruments, vector, Sony, colico, and IBM started to be in more and more middle class homes.
Today's times, by placing an arcade game or two in a shop occupies some time if people have to wait of allows parents to have the kids something to do while they shop. You can still find places like Chuck E Cheese, and Game Works doing very well.
Is it possible to start up and be a successfull business? Yes, you need to have LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!!!!!!!!! As with all business you have to have the right location to serve the right customer.
Good luck

Good food is a plus.
One of the big annoying things I find with arcades today is the price.
Back in the day I could get a roll of quarters and play a machine and really learn to play. Now at 50 cents and a dollar a pop. They are not worth playing if you don't know what you are doing.
My advise is at least have a section with some of the old games.
They are also to big and bulky.
