I am sorry I do not know
I don't recall the arcade ever being pay-one-price. You purchase a card (like a debit card) and swipe it for every play. You get extra plays the more you put on the card. For example, for $20 you get $25 with of plays on the card. The card also tracks the tickets you accumulate as you play.
I know you have to pay to play each time at the bounce house and laser tag place, but I'm not 100% about the older one upstairs in the food court.
