Fantasia Amusements

What's happened????All the old Classic fruit machines have been removed they only came in about 6 months ago what was the point in getting them in the first place.Sadly it's all going to be Ticket Redemption games with all the old Prizes that have been there for Donkeys years.The Arcade is more than big enough to have plenty of Classic fruit machines & loads of ticket Redemption games. That way all customers are happy.Member of staff Alan is nice and friendly with customers.

Terrible service. Toys got stuck on the corners, ask for them to be moved the staff member put it back to the reset position. I said i had put £7 in there to get it to the position that it was now. The lady started to be rude and went i cant put it anywhere else. I use to like this place not anymore.

My daughter and I visit this arcade at least twice a week with a couple of lads who have learning disabilities. One is addicted with the 2p pushers, the other loves a game of pool ( only when he wins) lol.The staff are friendly, attentive and always on hand to help, whatever the situation.

Would like to have a look around but every time we visit Southend but it’s always closed.

A very good arcade with some absolute classic machines, me and my brother in law visit on a regular basis, its good honest fun and run by a honest family who always go out of their way.... out of every arcade on the Southend Seafront this one has to be the best!!

Such an amazing arcadesGreat value for money and the children leave with pockets full of toys!The employees are so lovely, friendly and always have a smileGreat family arcades with the best toys :)Special thanks to Allan for making our visit special :)Best arcades on the sea front :)

Wangan midnight maximum tune 3!Enough said really.Well in reality they're getting rid of all the games here and there's also no cards for WMMT3, although it will work with any cards you already have.Visit before these classics are gone forever (from here at least)

I popped in today on the replies from the management to reviews on Google and from other people's observations. Along Southend seafront there are numerous arcades with flashing lights and lots of toys and prizes being shown as potential wins.For some unknown reason I have been playing the tuppenny nuddger machines trying my best to get the one or two small items being placed as bait for the potential recipient. I know that I will have to throw a few quid at it to get what is possibly a 25p keyring or other lavish offering. This I know and it's my choice to indulge myself in this quite amazing hobby. The best thing in this establishment is that the staff were not going round after someone had ploughed all of their money into the tuppenny nuddger and moved all the items to the middle of the machine again. I thank you for doing that,you said in your replies that you don't so hats off to you.A few little wins here and there is a good feeling and to see a smile on a face of someone who has managed to get a little token from the machine is a good thing.The arcade has lots of old style machines so don't expect the latest gizmos and VR experiences. But do expect a level playing field as so far they are true to their word and I have not seen the vulturesque, Scrooge shenanigans that the other arcades adopt and have no shame in taking pocket money from children.Thanks Fantasia, I will get my tuppenny nuddger fix at your place in future.
