Noura Tawil (asker) Jul 16, 2013:
It's literally "Video games that are played on coin machines", so the Arabic "literal" translation would be
ألعاب تعمل باستخدام النقود المعدنية
But I can't use this as "Arcade games" is immensely repeated throughout the text, and I'm looking for a brief expression that IS COMMONLY USED in the Arabic gaming field.

يمكنك ذكر التعريف: ألعاب آركيد أو ألعاب الآركيد (ألعاب تعمل باستخدام النقود المعدنية) عند أول ظهور للكلمة ثم الاكتفاء بألعاب آركيد بعد ذلك
Note from asker:
Thank you, I have been researching, and this one seems to be the most common expression used by Arabic gamers for Arcade games.
