[7] In August 2011 the museum moved to Baumanskaya street, and the exposition was replenished with dozens of arcade machines.

Garages, repair and production workshops of the Leningrad taxi fleet #1 were located on this territory during the Soviet times.

[23][10] In addition, exhibitions of old filmstrips, lectures, table tennis tournaments, checkers, chess, master classes and other events are regularly held in Moscow and St. Petersburg branches.

[24] The first foreign arcade machines were presented in 1971 at the World Amusement and Gaming Exhibition "Attraction-71", which took place in Gorky Park.

[5][25] Soviet samples appeared several years later, when the Ministry of Culture of the USSR commissioned the creation and production to the Union SoyuzAttraction, which distributed orders between 22 classified defense factories.

However, this was an irrational production: engineers assembled copies of foreign slot machines basing on available parts, which often were not suitable for these needs.

A special department at the SoyuzAttraction was responsible for adaptation of foreign gaming machines to the Soviet ideology.

The arcade machines had to give young people an idea of future professions, for example, a taxi driver.

[28][6] In the first years of the amusement industry, all arcade machines were owned by SoyuzAttraction, which had a financial plan for the day of work, which gave rise to the corruption.

There are "Sea Battle", "Gorodki", "Snaiper-2", "Highway", "Rally", "The Giant Turnip", "Basketball", "Football", "Safari", "Winter Hunt", "Quiz", "Buttle-planes", "Horse Racing", "Submarine", "Tank-training area", "Doublet", "Probe", "Billiards", "Snow Queen", "Circus" (which is the only known Soviet pinball machine),[29][30] "TV-sports", "Overtake", "Virage", "Crane", "Lucky shot" and many others among them.
