Lost Cove needed an arcade/casino, a place for gambling along with family fun. At first I thought I'd convert the Amore venue into a huge "Lost Vegas" casino, but there wasn't a large enough space for it, so I chose the Duke of Bows venue instead. It's designated an arcade and is a mix of old world fair activities and modern game machines.
The Renaissance Arcade is near a wooden area by the ocean.
I added a second story to the one side of the main building so I could include bowling lanes.
I changed some of the grounds items, but most of the things are as they were originally.
I took out some of the hedge and replaced it with the flag fencing and added the skeeball machine.
I also replaced one tent with a photo booth and the basketball game. I put in a love meter machine and a stereo too. On the building walkway are serve-yourself vending carts. The back tower contains the gambling areas.
The slot machines are upstairs and the betting tables are downstairs. I put all-in-ones in the bathrooms.
The main arcade room has a variety of games, a gumball machine, and a dominoes table.
The upstairs houses two bowling lanes, two table games, and a claw machine.
There are more eating areas on the other side of the balcony, plus a refrigerator for quick meals.
I put stairs in the front side tower. They lead to two more all-in-ones upstairs.
And downstairs is a relaxation room with two rocking chairs.
The one main entrance leads to the arcade area.
The second entrance opens to a small stage room.
The stage offers drums, bass, and a piano--no room for guitars, but I'd added them elsewhere (the Horse Ranch).
Lynne was able to play at the roulette table by herself. Unfortunately, she lost all her money.
But the doctor won big time at the slot machines.
Emad autonomously chose to try out the archery range. He was actually very good at it.
At night, the arcade rooms brighten up with fun lighting colors.
The arcade venue is open from 10:00 am until 4:00 am the next morning. I didn't add a bar to this lot though.
Bebhinn and Emad played a hand of dominoes before heading back home.

Lost Cove doesn't have a lot of town folk, but sims still showed up. Several hit the arcade machines right away.
Table betting was popular too. I may trade out the blackjack table for poker. But I think both games need to have at least two sims playing, which makes it tricky when there aren't many sims in the world.
