I gotta say I miss the old school tokens and paper tickets. As a kid, there's just something amazing when you win a big jackpot and you carry a huge amount of tickets like you're a big BOSS.
i have never been to dave & busters before because when i was a kid, my mom and dad did not allow me to go to any amusement arcades, but one time as a kid, my aunt which was far away from my house and my cousin and my parents said " do you wanna go to dave & busters?" i said yes and when my aunt was driving to my house, her wheels broke down and i never got to see the wonders of dave & busters ever.
OH MY GOD YOU ARE LITERALLY MAKING THIS VIDEO JUST FOR ME. THE BOYS AND I ARE GOING HERE IN 2 HOURS AND I"VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE!!! THIS IS GOING TO HELP ME SO MUCH THANK YOU TO THE ARCADE COUPLE!!!! :D D: D :D :D :
Great explanation! Thank you! I thought this was a bar for adults with games. I did not know it was more family friendly, so I will take my nieces and nephews here when we go to Dallas.
I always use the app to reload my card. I have had issues with the kiosk and front desk getting the extra 15% game chips for being a legend! I just reached level 8 today and need just to play 10k more chips and I will be the Prize pack level which I am pumped for!
Those are crazy high prices. I am old but remember paying 25 cents for pinball and 50 cents for video games. Even Pacman was only a quarter. Now $2.20 that's stupid costly to play
I’ve never been here and that’s why I watched this video. I also heard you can eat and drink at these? Where do you go for that while in there? Thank you!
If you haven't been yet, you just sit at any table and someone will be over to help. You can also take your drink after or order another at the bar to dirnk while you game. There are several tables next to games where you can set your drink down at. Have never had my drink get knocked over or messed with.
Great video, we are heading to Dave and busters for the 1st time soon. So I just want to double check, a couple of things. So you put your card in. Tap play. Do you then take your card out, then when the points are loaded up onto the screen, you put your card back in to get the points, do you have to press anything to get the points, or does it just add them, I noticed someone left points on another machine in one of your videos, you put yours in, but couldn't see if you needed to press anything to collect them. Thanks! 👍
The only games you need to put your cards back in for are the coin pusher games where you manually drop coins into the machine. For all the other games you can insert or tap your card and you don’t need to put it back in :)
I love this place and I haven't been there for a while now, but I am planning to go this Wednesday because my birthday is this Thursday. Which Thursday is my family choir night and celebrating my birthday in Dave & Buster's arcade game section on Wednesday are my best day because of the half price, but I know we also have the Power card too.
Question! Not sure if you know! I plan on going to my local D&B with my wife, niece, and nephew this week! I saw there was a Hungry Hungry Hippo game in your vlog which is a 4 player game. Do I need 4 separate cards for all of us to play that game or can I swipe 1 card 4 times? Ideally loading up 1 card with $100 for 750 is cheaper I think and all tickets we win would go to 1 card! TIA!
Thank you so much this video was very helpful, never been to Dave & busters but now I'm going to go on Wednesdays, see if I like the food and like the games 👍🥰, I hope the games are not rigged you know like Vegas that really takes the fun out of it
i couldnt imagine only having 5.6 game credits on my dave and busters card. when i go tonight, i'm going to load up over 700 credits just to prove I am suprior
Credits or tickets? Credits are never half off. Games are half off on Wednesdays. So if you went on a Wednesday you would see the games are 50% cheaper than any other day. If you went back another day, the games would be full price. You could find a coupon $20 for $20, which gives you $20 in credits free when you spend $20, but you can’t redeem those on a Wednesday. You would have to go on Tuesday for example … redeem the coupon, get the credits on your card and then come back Wednesday and play. In that scenario you’re playing games for 75% off
If I’ve done my sums right, $100 gets me 750 credits. 5 swipes @ 11.9 credits gets me 75 plays on the ST coin pusher. I can get 12 sets of 75, for 945 shots. How many tickets do you reckon that might bag me?
Well it all depends on how many cards you win and if you can make full sets. It would probably only give you a small return. Maybe 3,000 to 5,000 tickets.
It’s is a great and fun place to take family and friends. But other than that, my family members worked there from 21-22 late summer. And he have to say they have strict rules. Couple of them is no lunch breaks and no 10 minutes breaks from 5 till 9( peak hours). I feel bad for them smokers. And the other thing why he left is that grown men acting like minors then later go back to there normal ways, then back to acting like a kid again. Be a professional and stay that way! Great place to have fun there but not a good place to work there. They make you feel comfortable and later staff and some managers make you feel like they wanna get rid of you. When I do comment on pages and I keep it the same, GROW UP PEOPLE! Alaska D&B.
So based on what’s being shown in this video, game prices on Wednesday would be half of that. This video was filmed on a full price day. Hope that helps!
Whats the highest amount of tickets needed for prizes? I'm thinking of going to a Dav and Busters for my birthday next month as a treat to myself and I like Plush Animals and Electronics. Also does Dav and Busters have good crane games?
You won’t find a good variety of crane games at D&B. They usually have a small one with unlicensed plush and a large one with random plush. If you get 3,000-5,000 tickets you could walk away with a nice plush figure or two :)

At least we got to experience it.
@@CosmicLogic-ts5vr For real. Chuck E Cheese's was my childhood arcade and nothing beat those tokens. All those special token holders too.
I miss it

$3 activation fee may seem steep, but at least they give some chips with it, so it’s not as bad as some other places
Not that bad imo
As long as you don’t go at night it’s normally full of kids
Thanks, didn't know those colors around the card swipe things meant anything.

I’ve never been to a Dave and Busters, but from what I’ve seen here, the games seem ridiculously expensive.
they are, Wednesday they’re half off which makes it worth it
Place is boring. 30 min. In and I'm thinking about getting drunk!😮
A little disappointed that it's almost all "gambling" machines for kids and less of the traditional arcade machines.
They think it's the only way to get and keep players, but its just not true...
Ticket arcades became my favorite type of arcades after enjoying my time in Dave and busters
Going today LETS GOO

You forgot to mention, with newer cards, you can just tap them on the card readers, instead of needing to put them in the slot.
Slots! Taught that myself! Interesting indeed! ntercepted!
I'm old school still have my card from like maybe 2014 or 15 (not sure exactly when I got it).
God bless everyone.

Thank you so much. My son and I are going and trying to have as much fun as possible
Thanks for this video. I was clueless about everything and really needed to know cost as well.
Thank you so much for this video - You are great on doing this - Super helpful , the best so far !!!!
I’ve always been told that Dave and busters is an adults only arcade, but I instantly saw a bunch of kids so I guess that was a lie.
You:so that was a f**king lie
They ask for ID when you walk in, if you are alone.
If you’re under 18 you have to be accompanied by an adult
Yo thanks for the tips I'm going with my best friend in about 4 days to celebrate both our birthdays. I will definitely bring these tips with me!
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY U TWO!!

The $3 is actually a good value 5 t/$ is the base value. Good video Ben. Informative and entertaining.

Pretty good video, very informative straight forward, and you cover almost everything, good.

You can put the swipes on the 4 sides with just one card! Just go to each card reader, swipe (or tap) and you’re good to go!
@@TheArcadeCouple Thank you! They are looking forward to that and the Minecraft dungeon game!
Hi! Thanks so much for all the information about Dave and Busters going tommorow with my friend Vanessa! But I have never been 😂
how was it?
I’m taking a friend to this place hopefully it’s fun!!
Thank you so much for this video. Much needed
Thank you!
Do you only need one load up card for two ppl if I buy the 75 + the 15 dollar credits they give
Never been . I wanted to know what it’s like and your video explained so much ! Thank you !
It’s just gambling. Sick
Very cool! Thanks for this helpful vid 😊🙌🏾
Fun fact: cyclone does the same as skee ball, it makes your card balance 0.0
Dave and busters was by far our favorite arcade.
Thank you so much I needed this
Good info, best report yet on D & B!!!
I already have one but I have not seen this Dave Buster so it must be in a different state maybe 🤔
Omg Dave n busters is so fun!😀😍
This really helped me and gonna save me from blindly spending $150 for 2 people 😂
Thank you for making this video it’s very helpful
Goin to dave & busters for my school trip
Which Dave and Busters was this filmed at?
What about the food aspect of dave and busters?
9:55 I would’ve spent my tickets on one of those creeper plushies. Too bad my local D&B doesn’t have them.
Going there was the most FUN we've had in years! LOVE this place! $3 is nothing for a night of FUN.
Forgot to mention that you can save tickets and use your card at any D & B
Good point!!
The good ol D&B.
would have liked to see the food and menu
The arcade couple, what is your favorite arcade card that is used to activate the games and why
You walk pass the purple card swipe on the claw game that don't give you tickets but it does give you a prize
Really helpful video tysm.
Thank you so much this video was very helpful, never been to Dave & busters but now I'm going to go on Wednesdays, see if I like the food and like the games 👍🥰, I hope the games are not rigged you know like Vegas that really takes the fun out of it
I’m going right now and I am so excited
Great video Ben
I saw some red card swipe things. What do they do
Very helpful video. Thank you.
I just seen a position on indeed for front desk host. Thinking of applying but I'm so nervous. Do they train you. Hows the training process
We got asked ID when we tried to go in, pretty sure cause it was night time,
Hi, watched great video on Dave and busters how many grab machines do they have for plush and smaller figures, did not see any, thanks
POV: you never went to Dave a busters your at your house and your still watching this for fun
😂 but now if you do go you’ll know what to do!! Haha
Yes
Waaaoow great review thanks
This is good for internatonal people who came to usa
Thanks for the video !
Going on the weekend 🎉🎉🎉
i couldnt imagine only having 5.6 game credits on my dave and busters card. when i go tonight, i'm going to load up over 700 credits just to prove I am suprior
So if I go on Wednesday and get a bunch half off can I use that whenever I go and keep repeating it or is it only for that day
Credits or tickets? Credits are never half off. Games are half off on Wednesdays. So if you went on a Wednesday you would see the games are 50% cheaper than any other day.

Can a two player game be played with two players using a single card?
Yes
Thank you
Only go on 1/2 price Wednesday.
Can you use cash to buy and load/reload the Powercard?
Yes!
@@TheArcadeCouple Thank you!
Intro is Midnite Dialog Long from iMovie.
I went there and some one followed me in the prize store whit my dad and offered to buy me something and recorded me
Thank you so much!!!
How quickly would you say chips get used up? I feel like I'd breeze through a lot of chips in a short amount of time.
Go Wednesday. We can play for around 2 hours on $100 each
If I have the app do can I use that to play instead of using a card!?
If I’ve done my sums right, $100 gets me 750 credits. 5 swipes @ 11.9 credits gets me 75 plays on the ST coin pusher. I can get 12 sets of 75, for 945 shots. How many tickets do you reckon that might bag me?
Of course double the shots if I went on a Wednesday, which is my plan.
Well it all depends on how many cards you win and if you can make full sets. It would probably only give you a small return. Maybe 3,000 to 5,000 tickets.
I shall hope for the best!
@@rossallan3585 good luck! Have fun :)

I use the D&B app.
Hello quick question, whats the QR code for on the app where u go the cards?
Thanks for this
Wait so normally it’s double what you’re showing here, or does it only charge you half of what it says?
So based on what’s being shown in this video, game prices on Wednesday would be half of that. This video was filmed on a full price day. Hope that helps!
Can you go and just eat or do you have to play there?
The one thing you need to know is, that you'll have fun.
Do you need a physical card to play if you just have the app? Thanks!
They sure do know how to milk people wow crazy how expensive it is to have a moment with your kids
Well bois, todays a Wednesday and my family’s going

Do you need to purchase a new power card every time you go to a new Dave & Busters location?
No you do not, your cards are transferable between locations !
So how do people leave their ticket? I’ve seen you guy go over to games and take tickets that people left.
