    Hi everyone
    I would love your feedback on my new niche arcade site dedicated entirely to casino games:

    arcadeslot.com

    It's hard to make entry in the arcade games world online so I thought I'd give this a shot. Please let me know your opinions!

    Thank you!

    Hmmmmmmmmm, well one thing are the colors. I think what you need to do is choose three primary colors, all different shades. You can use this site to make the right color choices http://www.colorcombos.com/

    also when using light colors, use dark text and vis versa. I think this site would look good and be a success if you tweak it a little and try to make it more professional :D

    tsquez I took your advice and changed the colors to a more generally green color, to reflect the casino/money/chip color. I hope it looks a bit better?

    yeah it looks much, much better and put that red colored background back, that was a nice touch. Also in your sidebar make sure your using #000000 for the font color, looking good. keep it up :D

    I added the game categories and all of the games should be located on the dropdown menu up above.

    Looks good, but the design seems very "familiar"; I've definitely seen others site that are almost exactly the same.

    i think this site would benefit from a different layout. i feel this layout isn't really working for this type of site. it's very centered and vertical.. perhaps a more horizontal approach?

    something like this : Layout option Click Me

    Just my opinion. it would give you the ability to present more games and perhaps more content. i feel the layout will hinder your content delivery. also, it could increase locations for ad's and profit if you choose to go that route

    It's just that I'm thinking more about the user and how it would be nice to have quick access to the games they want (ie large thumbnails and less intrusive ads...) I don't know? Maybe I should add more?

    Good looking arcade site. I like the simplistic layout and that it doesn't look too busy like most arcade sites do. But that could be a bad thing for an arcade site, maybe they are supposed to look busy.
