Lucky is the Word For It!

I used to think that the only time I wanted to visit Atlantic City was the second Saturday in September (if you know you know). However, a few weeks back I got a message from Travis asking me if I knew what system they are using at the Lucky Snake arcade inside the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, NJ and I was intrigued to learn that I had missed visiting this laser tag arena. Is anyone surprised that after literally tagging overnight for the tournament I woke up and said “I think I’ll drive to New Jersey for more laser tag before the tournament resumes”…what, nobody? :)

“Lucky” really is the word for my experience. I want to say a huge thanks to Erick, the game marshal who not only got me into a game incredibly quickly (I was pressed for time at this point in my trip), but also jumped into the 1v1 with me to make it possible for me to play this arena and still keep on schedule.

I know this is lucky because there have been a handful of times when I have played laser tag at a casino or resort and normally it takes much longer for me to explain why I am stopping in just for laser tag and usually I have to wait for things to line-up perfectly (other players, start times, etc), so I really am appreciative that I was able to check out this arena almost immediately. That impressed me a lot!

It was also very lucky that I got to play a system I really enjoy. We vested up with Helios CE and set off into the single level arena, which was ideal for a smaller game.

This arena has a smaller footprint, but good flow with a painted stone motif on the walls.

There is a base in each corner and a generous amount of targets scattered throughout.

So was it a lucky day for me to visit the Lucky Snake Arcade? I think so. It was an enjoyable stop an arena I’m glad I was able to experience during this quick detour to Atlantic City.
