How to Create the Perfect Gameroom for Your Luxury Pad

Resident Staff

No luxury home is complete without a place where you can escape the world and have some fun. People will have a cinema room, others will make space for a sauna or swimming pool, and some make a games room. Saunas and swimming pools aren’t the easiest things to install, particularly if space is an issue. A cinema is great because you only need a projector and some comfy chairs. However, for all-round entertainment, a games room is the best choice.

Perfect Gamerooms for the Full Range of Budgets

It all starts with your budget. Have you got a lot to spend, a little, or something in between? Everyone has their own requirements but, the good news is, you can build a games room on almost any budget. Therefore, the tip here is to design your room accordingly. Don’t spend more than you can afford because there are plenty of ways to get it done. When you’ve got a budget in mind, decide which games you want to include. The beauty of today’s world is that you can go online, dive into virtual reality, or have physical games.

For example, casino games, such as blackjack, allow you to play the odds and have fun at the same time. The issue you might run into is space because roulette and blackjack tables aren’t small. The good news is that casinos went digital back in the late nineties and, today, they offer a plethora of games. Paddy’s online casino, for example, has its own range of live games, including Paddy Power Live Roulette. Add to this bonus games, such as Paddy’s Wonder Wheel, and Daily Jackpots, and you’ve got an online casino that’s packed with unique features. 

How do you integrate this technology into your games room? You can install a large LCD screen, hook it up to a laptop, and set the browser’s homepage to your chosen casino. From there, you can let people create their own accounts and play at will whenever they’re in your room. It’s important to note that people must play on their own accounts, though.

Combine Physical and Digital Tech to Create a Modern Games Room

Pool and table tennis are popular choices for games rooms aficionados. Another classic is a poker table from a company such as BBO Poker Tables. A friendly home game is one of the best ways to socialize with friends. Regardless of whether you’re betting potato chips, nickels and dimes, or dollars, poker is one of the most entertaining, engaging, and cognitively stimulating games you can play. Therefore, if you’re designing a games room and want a focal point, a poker table is perfect.

Another innovation you can incorporate into a modern games room is a virtual reality station. A headset such as Meta Quest gives you access to an immersive world of virtual entertainment. Eleven Table Tennis is a fantastic representation of the game and perfect for people without the space for a real table. For something a little more unnerving, there are plenty of horror games such as The Forest, Dreadhalls, and Killing Floor Incursion. Finally, if you can install a drinks cooler, add a few comfy chairs, and hook up an audio system, you’re well on your way to having a games room that covers pretty much all bases.

Ultimately, the details are up to you. The key takeaway is, however you want your games room to look and function, it's possible.
