Local Machine Locations
Sacramento is home to a variety of Dance Dance Revolution arcade machines.
The below are a listing of their locations.
Crestview Lanes
4450 Manzanita Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95608
(916) 498-8877
Machine: 3rd Mix ver.Korea2
Cost: $0.75 for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: No
Crestview Lanes is a very popular hangout for the DDR Club members. Not only does it have a machine in good condition, it is close to where we live. Although it's probably not the most popular place to attract crowds, there are usually a couple of onlookers. |
American River College ARCade
4700 College Oak Drive
Sacramento, CA 95841
(916) 484-8011
Machine: 3rd Mix ver.Korea1
Cost: $0.75 for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: No
A DDR location oblivious to many local DDR'ers, ARC, suprisingly, does have a machine in good condition. It is located by the cafeteria near the bookstore. This is not the place you usually go to show off, since there are barely anybody in the ARCade at any given time. |
Rico's Pizza
Northgate Blvd.
Sacramento, CA 95833
(916) 921-6700
Machine: 3rd Mix ver.Korea2
Cost: Unavailable
Memory Card Slot: No
Not much is known about this place except that it has good pizza and a 3rd Mix machine. We're going to have to go and throw a party there one day just so we can test out their DDR machine. |
Scandia Family Fun Center
5070 Hillsdale Blvd.
Sacramento, CA 95842
(916) 331-5757
Machine: 4th Mix
Cost: 4 tokens ($1.00) for 4 songs
Memory Card Slot: Yes
Another favorite of the DDR Club. The fact that there are usually very few people here is actually why we enjoy it so much. Players can practice, do tricks, or just goof off, because there are nobody else watching. This 4th Mix machine has the extra songs unlocked, too. |
The Point
1600 Exposition Blvd.
Sacramento, CA 95815
(916) 483-5105
Machine: US 1st Mix
Cost: 3 tokens ($0.75) for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: No
We used to go to The Point (previously Paradise Island) on a regular basis when they had a 3rd Mix machine. However, somehow they decided to replace it with a US 1st Mix. Unfortunately, we DDR Club members aren't old-school enough to appreciate the machine. Now the place is only a faraway memory. |
California State University, Sacramento
6000 J Street
Sacramento, CA 95819
(916) 278-6011
Machine: 4th Mix
Cost: $0.75 for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: Yes
Wow, yet another local college with a DDR machine. Isn't the power of DDR amazing? Although we've never been there ourselves, it has been confirmed that a 4th Mix machine does indeed exist there in good condition. Perhaps one day we will tour the CSUS campus and use the opportunity to try it out. |
Roseville Golfland-Sunsplash (RVGL)
1893 Taylor Road
Roseville, CA 95661
(916) 784-1273
Machine: USA Mix
Cost: 4 tokens ($1.00) for 4 songs
Memory Card Slot: No
Machine: DDR MAX (6th Mix)
Cost: 4 tokens ($1.00) for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: Yes
RVGL is the jewel of Sacramento in terms of DDR. This place contains both an USA Mix and the new DDR MAX (6th Mix). Although it is far away from where we live, we often visit RVGL for a little treat of DDR. A big crowd can usually be gathered due to the popularity of the arcade. |
Country Club Lanes
600 Watt Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95821
(916) 483-5105
Machine: 5th Mix
Cost: 3 tokens ($0.75) for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: Yes
Although there are many people here to interact with, CCL is usually frowned upon by DDR Club members. Not only is the place ghetto (fights break out at night), the employees and many of the regular players there have awful attitudes. To top that off, there is a $5 cover fee at night. Unless we are desperately in need of a 5th Mix arcade, we usually don't go there. |
Regal Cinemas
3561 Truxel Road
Sacramento, CA 95834
(916) 419-0200
Machine: 3rd Mix ver.Korea2
Cost: Unavailable
Memory Card Slot: No
Although it has been confirmed that this machine exists, this is an otherwise little-known DDR location. DDR at theatres is usually a great way to attract crowds, because there are usually a lot of people in there before a popular film starts. However, there are stories of how the theatre employees don't like it when people go in there just to play DDR, so watch out. |
The Game Room
281 Iron Point Road
Folsom, CA 95630
(916) 608-9669
Machine: 3rd Mix ver.Korea2
Cost: 3 tokens ($0.75) for 3 songs
Memory Card Slot: No
Because Folsom is a little bit far from where we live, DDR Club members usually don't go there just to play the game. However, sometimes when we go to the theatre right next door, we stop by to play a couple of songs. A good thing about this machine is that it doesn't fail you right in the middle of the song. If your life bar becomes empty, you still get to finish the song. |
