A nostalgic collection of arcade games inspired by all the great classics. Drop a credit into any cabinet for a flat $0.50 in $TOKENS (100% burned weekly) and climb that cabinet's weekly on-chain leaderboard. Each week, the 1st-place player on every cabinet earns a share of the token's creator fees, paid in SOL. If you want to know how the Arcade works, click here. 👾🎮💜📺
Phantom is a free, beginner-friendly crypto wallet and the only wallet Retro Arcade uses. It works as a browser extension on desktop and as an app on your phone.
Only ever download Phantom from phantom.app. Ignore any links, DMs, or ads offering a wallet — those are scams.
Every Solana transaction costs a tiny network fee paid in SOL (usually a fraction of a cent). Keep a small amount in your wallet for fees — even though you pay to play in $TOKENS. The easiest way to get some is right inside Phantom:
A dollar or two of SOL covers many plays' worth of network fees. Next you'll grab the $TOKENS you actually spend to play.
Entry is paid only in $TOKENS, the official coin of Retro Arcade — and 100% of every $TOKENS entry is burned. Each credit costs a flat $0.50 worth of $TOKENS, priced live at checkout. To grab some:
Always verify the contract address matches the one on this official site before swapping — copycat tokens are common. $TOKENS is a community token, not an investment; only spend what you're comfortable with.
With $TOKENS (and a little SOL for fees) in Phantom, you're ready to play any active cabinet in the Cabinet Row above.
Every $TOKENS entry is burned in full and does not fund the prize pool. Prizes come from the token's creator fees — see the Tokenomics section.
Every cabinet runs its own weekly skill tournament. Your best score during the 7-day cycle sets your rank.
Read the full Tournament Rules in the section below before competing. Payouts are handled manually by the team during this early test phase.
Players pay a flat $0.50 tournament entry fee for a single scored attempt, granting 3 lives to post the best run they can. Entry is paid only in $TOKENS (priced live at the moment of payment) — SOL is not accepted for entry.
100% of every $TOKENS entry is sent straight to the burn vault and burned. Entry fees are pure deflation for $TOKENS — they do not fund the prize pool.
Burns are executed manually by the Retro Arcade team during this early test phase, and every burn is published on-chain for full transparency.
Each Arcade Cabinet runs its own independent 7-day skill tournament with its own leaderboard. Your best score during the cycle sets your rank.
The prize pool is not the entry fees. Those are burned in full. Prizes are paid instead from the $TOKENS creator fees that accrue to the project wallet.
At the close of each week, 80% of the creator fees in the project wallet is set aside as the prize pool. That pool is divided evenly across every cabinet in the arcade, and each cabinet's share goes to the player at the top of its leaderboard.
The 80% is fixed. The per-cabinet share scales with the arcade: with eight cabinets live today, each winner takes 10% of creator fees. As more cabinets open, the same 80% is spread across more boards and more winners.
Prizes are paid in SOL, sent manually by the Retro Arcade team each week after leaderboard scores are verified — screening out farming, exploits, and other disqualifying activity so real skill is rewarded.
This payout model is in an early test phase; the team may later route creator fees to a dedicated prize vault. See the full Tournament Rules for eligibility, scoring, and dispute details.
Not Gambling. Retro Arcade cabinets are skill-based video games. Outcomes are determined solely by player performance (reflexes, strategy, and in-game execution), not by chance, random number generation, or wagering against the house or other players. Retro Arcade does not accept wagers and does not operate as a casino, sportsbook, or betting platform of any kind.
No Guarantee of Payout. Participation in a tournament cycle does not guarantee any prize, refund, or payout. Prizes are funded by $TOKENS creator fees, which vary from week to week and may be small or zero. If a cabinet records no qualifying score, or creator fees for a period are insufficient, prizes may be reduced, rolled over, or withheld per the Tournament Rules below.
Entry Fee, Not a Wager. The flat $0.50 charged per play — paid only in $TOKENS — is a tournament entry fee granting one attempt (3 lives) to record a score in the current cycle. Every entry is burned in full. It is not a bet, stake, or wager on an uncertain outcome, and is non-refundable once an attempt has been played.
Age Restriction. Retro Arcade is intended for users 18 years of age or older (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher). By playing, you represent that you meet this requirement.
Jurisdictional Restrictions. Skill-based prize tournaments are treated differently under different states' and countries' laws, and are prohibited or restricted in some jurisdictions, including but not limited to Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, South Carolina, and Tennessee, and in certain countries outside the United States. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether participation is lawful where you reside. Retro Arcade reserves the right to geo-restrict access from jurisdictions where this service is not permitted.
Cryptocurrency Risk. Entry fees are paid in $TOKENS at a flat $0.50 in USD terms (priced at the time of payment) and are burned in full. Prizes are funded by the token's creator fees and paid to winners in SOL. Both SOL and $TOKENS are volatile digital assets. Retro Arcade is not responsible for value fluctuations, network fees, wallet errors, or blockchain congestion affecting entry, burn, or payout transactions. Token burns are not a guarantee of any particular price outcome for $TOKENS.
No Legal or Financial Advice. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice. Consult your own professional advisors regarding your participation.
This disclaimer is a general notice, not a substitute for reviewing the full Tournament Rules and Terms of Service below, which govern your participation. Thank you for visiting the Retro Arcade.
Use of bots, macros, emulator manipulation, exploits, multiple-account collusion, or any method to artificially inflate scores is prohibited and will result in forfeiture of ranking and prizes, at Retro Arcade's sole discretion.
Retro Arcade may update these rules prospectively for future cycles. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Revised" date.
Last Revised: September 14, 2026 — by connecting a wallet and playing any Retro Arcade cabinet, you agree to the following.
Retro Arcade offers skill-based arcade games with paid tournament entry and score-based prize distribution. Retro Arcade does not offer, and these Terms do not create, any gambling, betting, or wagering service.
Each play requires payment of a non-refundable tournament entry fee of a flat $0.50, paid only in $TOKENS. This fee grants one scored attempt in the current tournament cycle and does not constitute a bet on an uncertain outcome determined by chance. Every $TOKENS entry fee is burned in full and does not fund prizes. Prizes are funded separately from the token's creator fees and are paid to winners in SOL. Token burns and prize payouts are reviewed and executed manually by the Retro Arcade team, rather than by automated smart-contract distribution, in order to verify leaderboard integrity before funds move. This payout model is in an early test phase and may be modified prospectively for future cycles.
Outcomes are determined by player skill and performance. Any minor variance in enemy patterns or procedural elements does not materially affect the predominance of skill in determining final scores.
Retro Arcade makes no representation that any player will win a prize. Past prize distributions are not indicative of future results.
You acknowledge that SOL and $TOKENS are volatile digital assets, that transactions (including entry fees, token burns, and prize payouts) are irreversible once confirmed on-chain, and that Retro Arcade is not responsible for wallet errors, network fees, delays, or value changes affecting either asset.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Retro Arcade and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Total liability, if any, is capped at the amount of entry fees you paid in the 30 days preceding the claim.
These Terms are governed by the laws of The United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, unless prohibited by mandatory local law in your jurisdiction.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or your participation shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You waive any right to participate in a class action.
This service is void where prohibited. You represent that you are not located in, and are not a resident of, any jurisdiction where participation would violate local law.
Retro Arcade may amend these Terms at any time. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Nothing here is legal or financial advice. This is a plain-language summary intended to inform users, not a substitute for professional legal review.
