Arcade game machines have evolved significantly, embracing modern digital payment systems like mobile wallets to enhance user convenience. Traditionally reliant on coins or tokens, many arcades now support cashless transactions through QR codes, NFC technology, or proprietary apps.

Integration typically involves retrofitting older machines with payment modules or installing newer models with built-in digital payment capabilities. Players can link their mobile wallets (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay) to arcade systems, allowing instant payments via scanning or tapping. This shift reduces reliance on physical currency, streamlines operations, and attracts tech-savvy audiences.

Additionally, arcade operators benefit from real-time transaction tracking and reduced maintenance costs associated with coin mechanisms. As digital payments become ubiquitous, this trend is reshaping the arcade industry, merging nostalgia with cutting-edge financial technology.
