- How The Arcade Works
- Arcade Bucket Rewards
- Lava's Ballpit of Fire and Fury
- Arcade Gold Ball Shop
- Increase Arcade Bonuses
You can unlock the Arcade by talking to the Clown Jester in Blunder Hills from Level 8. Once unlocked, you can then access the Arcade game from the Quick Ref menu at anytime.
How The Arcade Works

Upon reaching Level 8 and speaking to the Clown Jester, you'll be able to access the arcade mini-game.
Initially, you'll start with 15 Balls and will gain 1 extra ball every 1 hour and 6 minutes. You can increase the amount of balls you earn per hour by various means like unlocking Achievements.
Your balls will keep generating every 2 days until it reaches it's max capacity. If your max capacity is reached, you'll no longer gain any more balls until you claim the ones you've earned.
Once you claim Arcade Balls, you can then launch the balls into the machine by choosing a launch speed and then hitting the launch button. The balls will then descend into the game, hitting the different pins before they reach the bottom into different buckets that give various rewards.

The rarest buckets are to the right of the game. There are 7 tiers:
- Normal
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Purple
- Red
- Jackpot
Each bucket has different rewards based on a set probability. If you click the Info button, you can see all the possible rewards. The Jackpot gives a guaranteed return of 2,000 Gems, 3,000 Gold Balls and 350 grey balls.
Arcade Bucket Rewards
When your grey ball lands in a bucket, you'll be given a random award based on set probabilities.

Click on the Dice on the Arcade interface and if you roll a 6, the mini-game will be updated to the Lava's Ballpit.
Here you have 3 options to launch more balls into buckets that reward either more Arcade Balls or more Lava Balls. It keeps going until your Lava Balls run out.
