Yep. There are some cities and towns that have banned arcades/barcades/etc. Or they have really unfriendly laws that make it hard to run an arcade business. Such as you aren't allowed to open in arcade unless it's in a designated zone, and the zone very far away from any other businesses or tourist spots. Basically out on the very edge of no where.

Same with malls. Some malls are very receptive to arcades wanting to open up inside. But Some mall owners don't want any arcades and only want to give off a "luxury brand" image. Arcades are considered low brow family fun.

Some malls only give preference to big arcade businesses like Round 1 or Dave & Busters.

Some malls will allow arcades but put them on the outer edge of the mall. Or even not in the mall directly. They will allow the arcade on mall property, but they can only open next door to the mall. Like when you see restaurants open up right next to the mall, hut the restaurant isn't connected to the mall itself.

Galloping Ghost's Arcade owner and several other YouTubers who run arcades talk about this in interviews and mention it. They had to spend a long amount of time finding a city and location that is willing and receptive to malls. Some cities like them. Some absolutely do not want arcades. Some cities want insanely high rent that it's impossible to realistically open an arcade in their location. A lot of factors go into finding a location to open an arcade.
