ABOUT THE ARCADE

Gems Arcadia is an online coin-op arcade. Indie developers plug in their games, you grab a pocket full of coins, and every cabinet on the floor is one coin drop away from your next high score.

FOR PLAYERS

Sign up free with your email, browse the game floor and play browser games of skill: no downloads. Buy coins to insert into cabinets, post scores to the leaderboards, earn XP and achievements, and show off a public gamer profile.

FOR DEVELOPERS

Developers upload HTML5 games, add our SDK and choose how many coins a credit costs. Every time a player inserts a coin, 70% of its value is recorded as the developer's earnings. Start at the developer hub.

COIN PACK PRICES

Coins are what you spend to play. Each coin is worth 25 US cents of play, and bigger packs come with bonus coins.

Current coin packs. Prices are in ZAR and include everything you pay at checkout.

HOW COINS WORK

  1. 1 · BUY COINS

    Pick a coin pack at the Token Booth and pay through Paystack's secure checkout. Your coins are delivered instantly to your wallet once the payment clears.

  2. 2 · INSERT COIN

    Every cabinet shows its price per credit (1 to 5 coins). Press start and the arcade drops that many coins from your wallet into the game.

  3. 3 · PLAY

    Chase high scores, climb the leaderboards and unlock achievements. Run out of credits? Insert another coin or try a different cabinet.

PRIZE TICKETS

Beat your personal best or land on a game's top-ten board and you earn Prize Tickets. Trade them at the Prize Counter for avatar frames, name colours, cabinet skins and title badges. Tickets can't be bought and never turn into coins.

FREE DAILY WHEEL

Signed-in players get one free spin of the daily prize wheel each day for a few coins, XP or Prize Tickets. Spins are always free: there's nothing to buy and no entry fee.

Coins, Prize Tickets and daily wheel prizes have no cash value, and Gems Arcadia is an arcade of games of skill for entertainment, not gambling: you can't bet on outcomes and you can't win money.
