Arcade Alley

Arcade Alley

Vegas-styled classic arcade cabinets on the web terminal — skill minigames in a fullscreen CRT overlay, without entering the pixel RPG.

Cabinets

Game	Classic DNA	Cost	Goal
Strip Cross	Frogger	5 chips	Cross Las Vegas Blvd to the neon marquee
Neon Invaders	Space Invaders	10 chips	Clear the neon-sign wave
High-Roller Breakout	Breakout	10 chips	Smash the card-suit brick wall
Showgirl Beat	Rhythm	15 chips	Match kick / snare / hat for 5 rounds

Overlay

Selecting a cabinet opens a fixed CRT arcade overlay (chrome bezel, neon marquee, scanlines, coin insert, LED footer). Keyboard or on-screen controls; ESC / EXIT returns to the alley.

Playfields render at 720×840 (2× the CRT aspect) with procedural pixel sprites, multi-frame animations, dithered surfaces, neon shading, and lightweight particle FX — no external image assets. Canvas sampling is nearest-neighbor so the CRT upscale stays crisp.

Economy

• Play debit counts as a wager (MGM Rewards handle).
• Skill payouts scale ~0–3× the play cost.
• Arcade tickets from score (score / 100, +2 on clear) redeem for small chip packs, a free-spin voucher flag, or a welcome-drink refill.

Persistence

Tickets, high scores, and redeem flags save in session.arcade / arcadeData.
