Unlock System Notes:
The new unlock is powered by Steam stats, so this is the very last time you will have to deal with re-unlocking your cabinets. You normally earn tickets by doing things like launching games or decorating your arcades. You will also earn large amounts of tickets for earning achievements. There is a cheat code you can use that gives you 3,000 tickets if you are a veteran AArcade player and don't want to deal with unlocking your cabinets again.

To spend your tickets, you go to the Achievements menu to choose which prizes you want to unlock. All maps are UNLOCKED from the start, so they aren't even listed in the prize shop. All cabinets & props are LOCKED from the start. Just click the UNLOCK button next to the ones you want.

Big $$$ Cheat Code
For a limited time only, you can use the following console command to give yourself 3,000 tickets instantly: vipstatus

Note that you can only use this cheat code once, and your stats will remember that you used it. So only cheat if you are a veteran AArcade player and not interested in the new unlock system at all.
