Pence told Houston Life that the gaming cafe has been a couple of years in the making and that it allows him to combine some of his favorite hobbies.
So is there a chance we will see some other big names in sports in the cafe, say NBA star LeBron James? Pence issued a challenge to the Cleveland Cavaliers player on Twitter, challenging him to a game of Mario Kart.
Pence says he's competed against Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry when the Warriors were in Houston to play the Rockets last month. The Major League Baseball star says Curry got sixth place and took it like a champ.
So keep an eye out on Coral Sword for any celebrity sightings.
