Donald Trump has officially signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” into law on July 4th.

The bill includes tax cuts for individuals, small businesses, and large corporations, while also eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and car loan interest. It expands the child tax credit but makes major cuts to programs like Medicaid, food stamps (SNAP), and clean energy incentives. It also increases funding for defense, ICE, and border security. The bill is expected to add nearly $3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years.

Are ya’ll excited about this? The arcade chain is opening a spin-off aimed at adults, called “Chuck’s Arcade,” which the company describes as a “modern-day love letter to the games and people who made Chuck E. Cheese great.”

Similar to the kiddie version, Chuck’s Arcade has a mix of nostalgic arcade games, like Donkey Kong and Mortal Kombat; and newer titles such as Halo and Connect Four Hoops. Plus, each arcade is “overseen” by one of the chain’s iconic animatronic characters, including Chuck E. Cheese himself or other characters from his Munch’s Make Believe Band.

Ten are open so far at malls across the United States, with arcades in St. Petersburg, Florida; Tulsa, Oklahoma; El Paso, Texas; and St. Louis. Each location looks different, decorated with original artwork that celebrates the brand’s past, according to a release.

Of course, there will also be prizes for adults to win and arcades will have “old-school merch” available for purchase. Some arcades will serve food, with the Kansas City location having a pizzeria that also serves a small selection of beer and wine.
