Northern Lights Arcade

We had so much fun playing at the Northern Lights Arcade, inside Great Wolf Lodge (Manteca, CA). We were told by staff the arcade is 24/7. However, the posted hours are different. Not sure which one is correct. A clarification would be nice.We were a little disappointed that the PLINKO game only gives one PLINKO chip to play per turn. You have to get it to slide through the middle to earn more chips to play with. Sadly, we did not. We only earned 30 and 50 tickets each time we played. The jackpot is earned by landing in the "B" at the bottom.We mostly earned tickets by playing Pop the Lock, my son has played this before at another arcade (D&B). So, he is pretty good at it. He won the jackpot twice. At Northern Lights Arcade you can keep playing for extra tokens/paw points, but it will not give you the jackpot (only 100 tickets). So, it does not seem worth it. However, you can decide for yourself! :)We also played The Wizard of Oz coin pushing/card collecting game. We built up quite a nice, little pile of cards, plus red and green coins. However, at the end of the night (close to 10:00pm) they are supposed to reset it. It wasn't even 8:00pm and we were still playing other games, they reset the machine. It makes it a lot harder to win. :(They have some cute prizes for thousands of tickets. I forgot to take photo inside the prize area. They had a Playstation light that has the quintessential shapes of the controller (square, circle, triangle and X). It was 9,000 tickets. We did not have that much, although we were close. We opted to save our tickets and go home with a few fruit punch Tootsie Rolls.
