Jenkinson's South Arcade

Information

Long-running beach boardwalk arcade that is part of the Jenkinson's empire.

This arcade is open 365 days a year, 7 days a week. Closing times depend upon inclement weather or customer attendance. They also offer a daily "happy hour" between 3 PM and 5 PM where all games are half price (ie a game that is 1 credit will instead cost 0.5 credits). These discounted rates only apply if you are using the Boardwalk Bounce game card.

As of 2025, all games accept the Boardwalk Bounce card where each credit is equivalent to $1, and credits can be used across Jenkinson’s South Beach Arcade, Jenkinson’s South Arcade, Jenkinson’s Amusement Park, Jenkinson’s Rooftop Batting Cages, Jenkinson’s South Boardwalk and Ride Park Midway Games, Jenkinson’s Lighthouse Point Mini Golf, Jenkinson’s Adventure Lookout Ropes Course, Jenkinson's Aquarium, Castaway Cove Mini Golf, and the Fun House. Please note that this does NOT include the nearby Frank's Fun Center or Jenkinson's Pavilion Arcades, each of which still use their own proprietary arcade cards. Some games may still offer quarter slots or dollar bill acceptors, but in general, it is recommended to use the game card instead for the best deals.

Comment: Pro model. Table leaning to the right, causes balls to travel in unwanted paths. Orb ball lock will not release after locking a ball, and will cause you to lose a ball after attempting to find it. Action button for ball launch / hadron collider not working. All of the above issues have not been addressed in over two years. Not connected to Stern Insider.

Jaws (International)
Comment: Pro model. Not connected to Stern Insider. Probably the best playing of the three machines on site; no major noticeable malfunctions. Leaning to one side, tilt bob is practically nonexistent so feel free to slide it around as much as you need to.
1.0 creditGreat
The Beatles (International)
Comment: Gold model. Weak upper right flipper. Volume very low and frequently gets drowned out by SMX right next to it. Some drop target banks are permanently stuck down and will not reset, causing you to be unable to complete certain modes or increase multipliers. Always choose "All My Loving" on ball 3 for a guaranteed multiball. Not connected to Stern Insider.

As of the tail end of 2025, it's the end of an era; no more rhythm games of any kind can be found at this arcade. RIP.

Great smx pads here, had a blast here
vlsaurus13 years agovlsaurus1
I would like to mention that between 3-5pm everyday, the swipers are set to half off, so you can pay $1 for 3 songs between then...or longer if you swipe a bunch of times before 5pm lol.

Also, a tech told me that they don't intend on keeping the machine connected online all the time. However, if you know that it's out of date, you can let one of the techs know and they'll update it for you. At the time of writing this, the machine is on the latest content update. Since it's offline, you won't be able to take advantage of the new mobile login features. You can still track scores the old way by scanning QR codes on the score screens.

Watch out for loose screws as well. It happens every so often from people constantly stomping lol. Just ask a tech and they'll fix it.

Wait, Kyle legit put an SMX here? Point Pleasant, of all places? OK, now I actually want to go down here for sure after everything goes back to normal. I was kinda thinking about it, but now I've decided the rail ticket prices mean nothing to me lol
NuVirus10 years agoNuVirus
ReRave Plus is back up & running :-)
NuVirus10 years agoNuVirus
Correction, the regular ReRave is gone, and ReRave + is the machine that is currently out of order.
NuVirus10 years agoNuVirus
No sign of ReRave Plus inside the arcade, and ReRave is down.
NuVirus10 years agoNuVirus
Never mind, I figured out on my own, it's obviously Jenkinson's. Wow, I wish I could go here more often.
NuVirus10 years agoNuVirus
OK, which of the four arcades down here has the best claw machines?
wottermelon10 years agowottermelon
it's a shame about the slight delay for the x2, but it was running fine when i tried it
Diablo242411 years agoDiablo2424
I haven't been here in years, and just moved back to the area, will have to check out the current condition of the machine and report back!
BemaniFan223712 years agoBemaniFan2237
oh cool so it has the old style pad nice
warpdr!ve12 years agowarpdr!ve
A bit. The panels look like supernova ones. The cabinet itself is the same. The odd thing is, I was under the impression that US X2s use one sheet of metal for each side of the pad. If that was the case, perhaps it was modded.

Not sure about that last part, but it's playable for now so I'm cool with it.
BemaniFan223712 years agoBemaniFan2237
wait does it look different with the panels
BemaniFan223712 years agoBemaniFan2237
Yeah did you know that the sand players drag in make the sensors go bad I try to keep it in good condition
warpdr!ve12 years agowarpdr!ve
Well I'll be damned. Guess I have a reason to come back here after all haha.
BemaniFan223712 years agoBemaniFan2237
I thought there's only 1 ReRave now plus I also clean the pad from sand and things like that if you ask the people nicely they will give you paper towels they usually do for me
Silver Spirit12 years agoSilver Spirit
The X2 is actually good now, the pads were being cleaned when I went and now there's MUCH fewer issues with pad misses, etc.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
south beachs the one with x2 too right of is it the other one with all the crane came
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
All but the one that I want. That's a shame. If the X2 pads are still decent by the time summer rolls around, I'll probably stop here a time or two. Thanks for the info.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
it says that Pavilion Arcade, Frank’s Fun Center, Jenkinson’s South Arcade reopened i'm hoping its better too cant wait to visit again i also really want to play re rave again
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
Good to hear. Maybe the machine will miraculously be better lol.

Have all of them opened? I'm also interested in South Beach being open (the one by the mini-golf on the amusement park side).
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
the arcades have reopened
dieKatze8813 years agodieKatze88
Since this seems to be the place most everyone on the Jersey shore goes, has anyone made any attempt to somewhat audit the status of the various arcades around since Hurricane Sandy?
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
Ok, I'm a bit harsh on condition, sorry. I only put it down as Bad because I was there last week. I probably just got unlucky and there were kids stomping beforehand or something.
DDR Addict13 years agoDDR Addict
I was also there a month ago and the right pad was fine. Upgraded status to Moderate
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
the right side actually working well last time went
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
going back woo
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
i was here today and the pads were okay
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
i was the person who put in the first two unlocks
AceJay13 years agoAceJay
Oh cool, Max unlock. Might have to take a trip out here at some point this summer.
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
His scores are everywhere there so maybe. Perhaps I'll find out next time.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
i think one might be barry he pretty good from the machine rankings
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
I've seen a few good people there but I don't know which is which (or remember what they look like for that matter).
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
that will be cool i've seen silver spirit there twice and you can do AAA'S on the machine
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
Perhaps. I'll let you know next time I plan on going if you want.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
maybe ill see you there im there alot of times i was the one who put unlock code 1 and 2 on there
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
Fair point. Now that the season's right I can probably go down there every once in a while, so I'll make sure to ask next time.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
you could of asked the mechanic of the arcade thats what i do
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
I couldn't break a 90% on anything on the right, despite being able to consistently AA harder songs than those I played on the right on the left. That is very strange... I wish I had a better answer lol.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
i played friday and right was better i even managed to get a AA the sensors have alot of problems but i always ask the guy to fix it
warpdr!ve13 years agowarpdr!ve
I played today, the left seemed much better than the right (I was able to pass Possession and Mei easily on the left which I couldn't do on the right). Maybe they've fixed it? Beyond today, I haven't been there for almost a year so maybe they only fixed one side or something.
BemaniFan223713 years agoBemaniFan2237
i thought the left was bad
BemaniFan223714 years agoBemaniFan2237
does anyone know where to import a x3 upgrade kit
BemaniFan223714 years agoBemaniFan2237
i ask the guy that works there to try to fix the pads i am probably going there today
iNEXSERTiON14 years agoiNEXSERTiON
Of course, X2's are the worst machines to have. They go bad so fast.
BemaniFan223714 years agoBemaniFan2237
the pads are okay not fantastic
AceJay14 years agoAceJay
But how are the pads?
BemaniFan223714 years agoBemaniFan2237
this is my favorite place to do ddr x2 and the guy working there said there going to get X3 when it comes out yay by the way i am so happy they did not get X and got X2 instead
Cruisn4Evur14 years agoCruisn4Evur
Why, DDR X2?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE 757.4 MILES AWAY FROM ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?1
