They've re-done the arcade and added a big theater. Kind of a nice arrangement, here's how it works.
You first need to buy a ticket at the counter with a minimum purchase of $3, but I recommend $5. The ticket has a bar code and a 6-digit code. The 6-digit code can be entered in the booths to buy time. Booths also take cash and credit cards. You can add money to the ticket either at the counter or in the booths by entering the code and then cash or a credit card.
There's a big theater in the back, opposite the entry door. It has an electric lock on the door. Your bar code will let you in to theater but only if there's at least $5 in credits on it and it was purchased or had money added to it that day.
Once you're in the theater you can stay as long as you want and the movies run for free. There's often action in the theater, I've swapped head there with a couple of hot guys.
To get the best value, buy a $5 ticket. Don't use it in the booths at first, because if there's less than $5 on it you can't get into the theater. Head first to the theater and check it out, stay as long as you want. Obviously anyone can come and go to the theater at any time so if you want privacy use the booths. There are two pairs of gloryhole booths and some bigger booths with benches.
You can leave the store if you want and come back. If you come back the same day you can still get into the arcade and the theater. If you come back another day, your credits will still be good for entry to the arcade and the booths but not the theater. If there's no activity on the ticket for 30 days it expires and you lose any remaining credits.
So, buy a $5 ticket, check out the theater, and then if you want use up your credits in the booths. If you want to visit the theater on a different day either buy a new ticket or add money to your existing one at the counter that day.
It's pretty cool, you can get both theater access and some arcade time for $5, a better deal than Bob's. The staff seems to pretty much leave you alone. Just remember that if there's less than $5 in credits or it wasn't bought that day, no theater access.
As far as privacy, they ask for but don't require a phone number when you buy a ticket, but you can use any ten digit number that you can remember like an old number, or not give a number at all. If you give a number they just use it to give discounts on future purchases, kind of like grocery stores. I haven't used a credit card there, not sure what it looks like on the bill if you do.
