There are many types of properties in GTA Online and some are businesses that can help players generate money. Be it nightclubs, hangars, bunkers, or even arcades; all these businesses are lucrative and have a legal front as well as illegal hidden business.
Arcades are businesses that were introduced to GTA Online in The Diamond Casino Heist update on December 12th, 2019. They are really good businesses where GTA Online players can do a lot of things, such as make money, play games and add upgrades.
Players can upgrade the Arcade with many options such as the Garage, High Score Screens, and Personal Quarters. Notably, they cannot initiate the casino heists without owning an arcade.
Players will get a weapons workshop when they purchase an arcade for free. Coupled with that, they will also get a t-shirt sporting the logo of whichever arcade they purchased.
It is important for players to get a Master Control Terminal upgrade for $1,700,000 as they can launch their business missions from the Arcade itself. The Master Control Terminal can be used to buy supplies for all businesses and monitor them.
Michael's son Jimmy from the GTA 5 storyline can always be found around the arcade.
There are a total of six arcades in GTA Online, out of which two are located in the county and four in the main city. The best location for an arcade will be the one closest to the rest of the players businesses.
