Lucky Leo's in Seaside Heights, Ocean County, United States | Arcade

Welcome to Lucky Leo's Amusements in Seaside Heights, United States.

In 1953, Pete "Leo" Whalen opened a single stand with a hand spun wheel that has grown into what we are today, Lucky Leo's, the most recognizable Name on the East Coast with a staff that makes you feel like family, and games with a rewarding payoff,

Lucky Leo's is your only stop needed in Seaside Heights to enjoy your day, evening or weekend.

In the spring of 1953 I opened my first amusement stand on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. I leased space from Stanley Tunney who at the time was Mayor. I bought some used lumber and built a 16' x 40' stand, and after much trial and tribulation I finally opened in June 1953 with a wheel which you had to spin by hand. My first stand as Lucky Leo's was filled with dolls and other stuffed animals.

Through the years the business has changed very drastically. When I opened up Lucky Leo's for the first time it was filled with nothing other than video and pinball machines. Now, today, when I walk in there are only a handful of video games and no pinball. The business is now mostly slots and cranes.

I am so very proud of both my amazing sons who did a wonderful job of keeping the name of Lucky Leo's in such high regard.
