Nobles Amusements - Portobello

"Noble's Arcade, Portobello by Sarah Wardlaw. Nobles Amusements Arcade, situated on the beachfront in Portobello, has been around for as long as anyone can remember. It is a family-run establishment with an array of arcade games that include the classics like Pac-Man, and modern games like Doodle Jump and Angry Birds. Most machines produce tickets for wins and this adds to the fun. There is a ticket office where you can spend your winnings and the choices are endless. Perfect for sheltering from the Scottish weather whilst it passes… and so much fun too!"

Great for my 4 year old nephew. The pay as you go cards are great idea. We pretty much played the water spray gun games and the horse game with balls! Got rid of my change too in the 2p machines!

It's a cool place if (like me) you want to relive your childhood for 30 mins. We stuck to the 2p coin push games since paying 50p per turn for the claw machine was a bit of a money burner. Wish they would get rid of the 18+ sections (which definitely do not encourage healthy gambling and don't look particularly fun either).

It gives fun to everyone. 2p machine is great, I was able to play and enjoy, would never spend so much for this kind of entertainment. However my child love coming here and enjoys a lot. No toilet. Staff should be more kind and understanding given that many children will play and run around. It’s nice to spend time here but you’ll rly spend a lot.

Machines are very scammy.... This one In particular stops giving you the balls back 10 seconds before the game ends stopping you scoring any points in the last 10 seconds. Spoke to staff and they said it's meant to be like that so I was meant to get scammed. Of course. Silly me.

Sunday's are for Fun and this place is just all about the fun. Busy for a Sunday afternoon as the sun was out and the beach was bustling! Kids had a fantastic hour or 2! They loved the 2p machines and were happy to win some sweeties

Nice amusement arcade. Quiet a lot of games to play. Was quite crowded and felt cramped in places. Operates a card system for the higher price games e.g. not 2p and 10p machines. Cards are free and can be uploaded with credits. Tickets remain on the card. Machine sto purchas the cards and change machines all take cards. There are no toilets in the arcade. Outside are a number of eating shacks with outdoor seating.

Nothing to win. Boring. I don't get what the reviews are raving about. The most mildly interesting thing in there to win is on the 10p machines and even they're not worth it. Even kids were bored.

I went into the arcade to play some games for a bit with my boyfriend then we decided to go out and grab something to eat after that we wanted to go back to the arcade but the security guards stopped us saying we needed to be 18+ or with an adult but let other people that looked way younger than us in, I just want to say we weren’t doing any harm to anyone! We genuinely just wanted to go in to play some games, I didn’t see the problem we are 17 turning 18 and the arcade should be for all ages, Just warning for people younger than 18 if you want to go to the arcade make sure you have id with you or with an adult they wouldn’t let us in because we were 17 and both of were turning 18 soon they will go to all the doors just to make sure you don’t sneak in
