All Amusement Fun Center

I had some time to spare before my movie started so I went in to check things out. I’m a grown woman but I frequent arcades from time to time. The games are ok. I’m pretty good on the wonder wheel so I managed to score 100 tickets. The prizes are the same pretty much everywhere. The best part was the guy that worked there. I believe his name was Loren. SO FRIENDLY. He was a super cool dude and gave great customer service!

Needs better prizes. Some of the prizes literally have a thick layer of dust on top because either nobody wants them, or nobody can afford to win them.
I’ve hit 5 jackpots on different machines in a few hours and still didn’t have enough tickets to get anything even remotely decent. Doing the calculations, even if you play at top level hitting this many jackpots, you’re still earning back like 30 cents on every dollar you spend. Which means this place is currently extremely unfair. I can’t imagine how few tickets the little kids get.
If you look up the prize retail value and do some simple math, 50 tickets = 25 cents. Guess how many tickets your average player is earning per coin? Like 0 – 15 tickets. The arcade it taking 70% or more of every dollar spent there… For little kids the place is literally doubling the cost they get the items at wholesale. I get that it would be way easier to just go buy the item, but at least let me win it for a fair price. Then you get repeat customers more often, which means everyone is happier in the long run.
Also, the bigger crane machine is extremely rigged. I don’t even bother playing it. It’s a dollar for 2 plays but you won’t even want to bother with your second play because the claw has absolutely NO grip and they jam all the plush in there so tight you probably couldn’t even pull them out with your hand. Why rig the claw machine when you’re already making a huge profit from your ticket redemption?
On the plus side, the staff there are FANTASTIC. Like nearly every one is super friendly and helpful and eager to chat with you.
Overall the place needs work… a fresh coat of paint… replace the gum stained floors… update your prize selection so you don’t have dusty old prizes from 4 years ago… and finally drop the cost of all prizes by 15−20% and then I would consider coming here often. As of now it’s the only arcade in Burbank but I’d rather drive 30 minutes to D&B in hollywood or 45 minutes to Round 1 than to go 10 minutes to here just to be disappointed and feel ripped off after I leave.
I won a $ 55 value Iron Man figure from Kotobukiya from Round 1 arcade and that is actually a DECENT prize. I spent $ 220 to get it but since the prize is so nice, I didn’t evne mind. You’d be hard pressed to even find anything of $ 55 value in this arcade’s redemption center.
I guess it’s great for little kids getting plastic frogs or sticky hands after their parents spend $ 10-​$ 20 but maybe consider catering to the teens-​adults that frequent your establishment?
2 stars only because of the excellent staff on hand

This place has gone downhill. I have been taking my sons here for a while now so I’ve seen some changes.
The owner has rigged the machines so you don’t get as many tickets as before. How cheap!
Also if you walk in with any food items they hound you to throw them out.
The employees don’t let you have any fun! The troll around you and watch what you’re doing and see how many tickets you’re winning.
The management gets mad if you win anything.
I’m not going back.

Owners are very unprofessional. They have they’re employees follow everyone as if they were going to steal something. Shitty customer service and a lot of the games have been broken down or not functioning properly and still have not been fixed

This place takes me back to when I was a little one that got so excited to see an arcade. this place reminds me of the old tilt’s chain of arcades that use to be in malls.
Back in the day my siblings and I would go with my mom to the mall and beg her to let us go play video games while she shopped. I was very rare that she would let us out of her sight, let alone leave us in an arcade unsupervised. On the rare ocassions when she did let us, we went crazy, spending our quarters on epic street fighter battles.
This place has the same feel, minus all the classic games I use to play. I was hoping for older games like Contra. In the end it was fun stopping in here briefly. It took me back to my childhood and made me smile.

This arcade has gone through some changes and while it’s still an ok spot for casual arcade goers, the quality of some of the arcades is already sub par I’m afraid. I regularly take my daughters and they do seem to enjoy spending a couple of hours playing a few of the games, but for anyone else I hate to say I wouldn’t really recommend. Hopefully they re-​dazzle the place up a bit and bring in the crowds back again.

i like this place been there a few times the owner seems like a cool guy granit it might be as big as other arcades but i got a good vibe from it

I remember when this was the light at the end of the tunnel. My way to unwind after spending my time in school. Well things have changed since high school… duh.
The difference between then and now is that a lot of the games have been stored away in some dark section of the place AND the restrooms are now LOCKED. That’s right you have to go elsewhere when nature calls.
I’m not sure what’s going on with this once awesome arcade. The front area is more for the little kids that like getting tickets for doing crap. You can find the usual collection of arcade games further in. Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, shooting games, racing games, and air hockey. It’s a bit sad to see that there are so many outdated games and still cost 50 cents or more.
It’s still a decent place to take your kid if you’re walking off from that kid area right in front.
There used to be tournaments held here, but I can’t see that happening anymore. Maybe if they added some new games, held tournaments, and collected a fee?

When the Van Nuys location closed back in March, they only had two locations left (Burbank and Eagle Rock), and they used SMALLER tokens than the Van Nuys location.
Everyone who had the LARGER Van Nuys tokens were forced to call the Burbank location (as the owner works there) and exchange them for the smaller tokens.
When I had to exchange my 50+ tokens from Van Nuys back in April, it was a hassle to even get the owner on the phone. I would be told he would be there, but then when I arrived, I would get the run-​around from all the workers when he would be there. So, I called every day until I got him. After a COUPLE OF WEEKS, I finally got them exchanged (and he wasn’t even there — he had a worker hand me to them).
Fast forward to this past weekend (11÷6÷10). While cleaning my friend’s car, we found 17 ($ 4.25) Van Nuys tokens. I told him that we should exchange them for the smaller tokens so we can use them.
Yesterday (11÷10÷10), I called the Burbank location asking if we could exchange tokens from Van Nuys. The lady (who sounded like she didn’t care working there) told me that she didn’t have the authority to, as that location closed «two years ago». No, honey… it closed back in March (eight months ago). So, once again, I asked when the owner would be available. She told me he would be around tomorrow at 10am.
I just called today, waited a couple minutes, and the owner pretty much told me that he wouldn’t even exchange them for his tokens since it was «over a year» since they closed the Van Nuys location. No, Mr. Owner, you closed that location back in March, eight months ago.
I was upset. So, I told him, that you would lose a customer for a measly $ 4.25 in tokens? I told him that I go there once a week to play the games. He brushed that off and went on about how they lost over «6000 pounds» of tokens due to people bringing bogus tokens to the Van Nuys location, losing over $ 250,000 in revenue, and how those bogus tokens cost him that location as well as great prizes. That wasn’t my problem nor did I care about that. And no, you don’t have great prizes. I have tickets for your locations and you have very CRAPPY prizes.
Why do you guys even offer tokens in the first place? THEY ARE 25 CENTS A PIECE! No matter if I buy $ 0.25, $ 1, $ 5, or even $ 20, you get the equivalent of tokens if they are 25 cents! You might as well use quarters! Why waste money on making tokens if they cost the DAMN SAME AS A QUARTER? It would definitely stop the «bogus tokens» that come to your establishment.
He finally compromised and offered me half for the larger tokens (8 of their tokens). I told him that I’d take my business elsewhere from now on, and hung up on him.
GOOD JOB, ALL AMUSEMENT! YOU HAVE LOST A CUSTOMER FOREVER. I HOPE YOUR OTHER TWO LOCATIONS DISAPPEAR JUST LIKE THE VAN NUYS LOCATION.
I’ll be going to Sherman Oaks Castle (which has great deals on tokens), Family Fun Arcade (which uses quarters), Japan Arcade (has deals on tokens, but okay games), Arcade Infinity (great deals on tokens AND great games), or any other arcade other than All Amusement for my video game arcade needs.
DON’T PATRONIZE THIS CRAPPY ARCADE. THEIR OWNER NEEDS TO LEARN CUSTOMER SERVICE.

The Burbank All Amusement Fun Center is small in comparison to it’s sister arcade. It still has a ample amount of games. Once again the games that give out tickets are in front. There are plenty of fighters and shooters in the back. They have L.A. machine guns which is one of my favorite shooters of all time for being set in some future LA where cops ride jetcycles. Your first mission is to save the President. Plus it comes, with these two huge rapid fire mounted guns, that make you feel when you fire.
This arcade has no racers, sadly. They do have a metal slug game and The Simpsons arcade game. They do have air hockey. This is arcade is in the vicinity to three movie theaters and plenty of food.
Foreseeable problems:
You’ ll will be right next to the indoor playground, but when I was inside the arcade I didn’t even notice the kid were there.
