Very similar to the arcades in the US where I hung out in the 70s-80s, but there is one notable difference. Stand-up cabinets were the standard in the US. Table-top games were fairly rare, in my experience.
The most popular games always drew a crowd of spectators as well. Probably due to both the stand-up cabinets being easier to see, and the hesitancy of small arcade operators to invest in more than one or two machines of the same game. This also led to people slapping a quarter/token up against the glass of the machine to call the next game. As a teen I found that very obnoxious, and took great pleasure in playing long enough to make someone pick up their quarter and walk away.
