The Arcade Club officially opened its doors in the former Sam Thai casino in Bloomfield Road on Thursday (June 9).
Bringing back retro classics while also offering modern gaming all under one roof, we took a look inside to see what the Arcade Club has to offer.

In October 2015, the Arcade Club outgrew the Haslingden warehouse moving to the much bigger Ella Mill in Bury. In March 2017 the business expanded again to a second floor. Photo: Daniel Martino
