I've actually been fantasizing about the same thing for a few years now and you guys make some very good points.
However, if you can't make the establishment profitable in one way or another to make up for the bills, then you're gonna go down real quick.
I suggest you take tips from internet cafes and korean gaming corners https://youtu.be/cI-tyGaMSLo
Their main income isnt the machines themselves, but the food and drinks they serve on the side.

This is different though. These are arcades.
Free-to-play arcades get boring quick, yes. And they're a waste of electricity.
Quarters and british pounds nowadays are worth more than they used to as well. Arcades are expensive and people rarely wanna bother with them. Wasn't this partially why they went under?
If you can find some middle ground, like modifying the cabinets to take pennies instead, you'd be golden. I dunno how you'd go about doing that though.
