Cash for the kid's arcade?

I'm going on the Ecstacy on September 23 with my grandson. I'm assuming that there is an arcade onboard where they can play video games. Are these games cash only or put on the Sail & Sign card? Can anyone tell me?

I remember the arcade on the Grand Princess had an arcade card that was similar to a sign and sail card. It fed into a card reader on the game and deducted from the card the amount to play the game. You would "charge up" the card at a machine in the arcade using your sign and sail card and put a certain dollar amount on the arcade card.

Not sure if this is how Carnival does it or even if this practice is used anywhere else anymore. Or maybe the card readers simply read and charge the sign and sail card directly now.
