                      OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL




August 24, 2000



CEC Entertainment, Inc.
4441 West Airport Freeway
Irving, Texas 75602

Gentlemen:

  CEC Entertainment, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the "Company"),
intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement (the "Registration
Statement") on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act").  The Registration Statement covers 350,000
shares of common stock, $.10 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), of the Company, and such additional shares of Common
Stock as may become issuable pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of the Plan (such shares collectively referred to as
the "Securities").  Such Securities are to be issued pursuant to
the Company's 1997 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan, as amended
(the "Plan").

  We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of the Registration Statement.  In
rendering this opinion we have examined such corporate records,
documents and instruments of the Company and such certificates of
public officials, have received such representations from
officers of the Company, and have reviewed such questions of law
as in our judgment are necessary, relevant or appropriate to
enable us to render the opinion expressed below.  In such
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all corporate records, documents and
instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed,
certified or photostatic copies thereof, and the authenticity of
the originals of such photostatic, certified or conformed copies.

  Based upon such examination and review and upon
representations made to us by officers of the Company, we are of
the opinion that upon issuance and delivery of the Securities in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, and upon
receipt by the Company of the full consideration for the
Securities as determined pursuant to the Plan, the Securities
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock.

  Our opinion is limited in all respects to the substantive law
of the State of Texas, federal law and our review of relevant
provisions of the General Corporation Code of Kansas as set forth
in the unofficial compilation of such law prepared and published
by Aspen Law and Business in Volume 4 of its Prentice-Hall
Corporation State Statutes series.

  This firm consents to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not
admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent
is required by Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder.

                                  Respectfully submitted,

                                  WINSTEAD SECHREST & MINICK P.C.



                               EXHIBIT 23.2
                               -------------


                   CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC AUDITORS


We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration
Statement of CEC Entertainment, Inc. on Form S-8 of our report
dated March 6, 2000, appearing in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
of CEC Entertainment, Inc. for the year ended January 2, 2000.
