Midway
The Midway hub — every machine and minigame in Ballin Tycoon, what each one is and where it opens.
Overview
The MIDWAY is the carnival strip of Ballin Tycoon — one tile per world, each hiding a standalone game. It opens from the bottom bar and is available from the very start. This page is also the hub for every machine and minigame in the game, whether it lives on the Midway, inside the Arcade cabinet or fires straight off the board.
The Midway tiles
Exactly what the in-game menu shows, in order. A tile's corner pill reads the Marquee stars it still needs, W2/W3 when a world lock is in the way, DEV while a game is being tested, or SOON for an unbuilt world.

Tips
- The Arcade is where coins go — everything else on this page pays coins, balls, gems or gold balls into your wallet, and the Arcade is the only place that spends coins in bulk. Read Arcade Level to see why that matters.
- Bonus Wheel, Jackpot Frenzy and the dice bonus all trigger from the board, so they scale with how many balls you launch. The Midway games and the Arcade's mini-rounds are the ones you choose to sit down at.
- Chest Rush only runs on Cake Party plays — bank them during the event and spend them when your pets are set up for loot.
