There are two ways of setting up business- computer arcade games played online and the arcade games set up with separate machines. Both of them entail different costing and set up strategies, which have been briefly explained below.
Note: Before beginning, check up on the local laws of the place you reside.
Setting Virtual/ Computer Arcade Games
You need to determine the budget first, which will depend upon the extent to which you are willing to start with initially. Hire a team of web developers who will be responsible to create and design the website and bring in various arcade game software’s.
Ensure that the website developing team is the best in the industry otherwise; all your hard work will go waste. The next step is to market the website through search engines like Google and Yahoo. Go for paid ads too for more exposure. Arcade games are very popular, which is why it will not take much time for the website to gain interest, especially if you offer free arcade games in the beginning.
This is just a basic structure of the whole plan; details need to be worked out.
Setting Real Arcade Games
Begin with a reasonable budget of $15,000. If you are short on funds, then apply for loan to banks with a copy of your business plan. After you get the funds, you need to search for space and arcade machines. The arcade machines can be bought online through sites like eBay. Choose space and machines after detailed research only.
Decide on an eye catching business name and spur up the business with innovative schemes and prizes that will get people out of their homes and come to you. This is the first step in marketing; later comes advertisement in the form of advertising in newspapers, distributing pamphlets, radio stations, and internet.
Employ some people to manage the place. The success of the business venture depends upon the location. Location booming with people means prospective consumers market.
At last, all the things being finalized, throw a grand opening with the opportunity to play free free online games.

How much would it cost to open a bowling alley?
Assuming I own the property outright, how much would it cost to open up a 12 lane bowling alley with a full arcade and some vending machines and maybe a small day care in the corner, including the cost of the building? Would a bank finance such a business idea with a minimal down payment? I have $150,000 in liquid assets and am wondering if this would be a feasable venture. The market where I am has absolutely no arcade or bowling alleys at all in a city of about 3000 people with surrounding smaller cities of about 2000 combined (within 30 minutes). There is no entertainment at all (no movie theatre). Would this be a good market?
