    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.

    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!

    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! 👍

    • @TheArcadeCouple
      @TheArcadeCouple  Před 2 lety +3

      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 :)

    • @TheArcadeCouple
      @TheArcadeCouple  Před 2 lety

      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
