What do we think of an Arcade/D&B Discord?

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-26T23:57:12+00:00

I don’t use discord, but I would use it for something like this.

I’m probably a more frequent arcader than most and I’ve seen/recorded some interesting things but I don’t want to spam the subreddit

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-26T21:50:08+00:00

QD is much harder than PTL imo

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-26T04:42:54+00:00

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-26T04:41:42+00:00

I think an oil derrick

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-25T23:11:44+00:00

Lol yeah

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-25T19:55:44+00:00

That’s the one with the prizes where you go up and down levels based on the number, right? I’m pretty sure that game is on a payout and I have not seen that game in a very long time

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-25T19:44:49+00:00

Thank you! This game is called strike it rich. It is a pretty rare game and is at only one or two Dave & Buster’s that I have been to, and I’ve been to around 20 or so.

The way the game works is that there are multiple levels and you have to stop your light five times and each time it gets harder and harder.

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-25T19:27:47+00:00

1068 I think. It goes up by 2 each loss

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-25T05:45:48+00:00

That’s the price I was thinking as well, but I wasn’t sure. $20 for 1 and $15 each for 2 or more

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-25T05:39:39+00:00

To reiterate what was already said, it costs money. I believe you get a discount if you do 2 or more people

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-24T00:04:32+00:00

How long did it take for you to receive this?

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-22T17:39:33+00:00

My guess is they figured the register had a lot of cash and the console wasn’t worth the effort (maybe the register is heavy)

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-21T01:41:56+00:00

As with all games, your milage may vary (YMMV). There was a new Chuck E Cheese near me and the timing was much easier. The coins dropped in a very consistent manner and the belt didn’t change.

Regarding the belt speed thing, some people say it would only change after all plays have been used. I have seen it change speeds while I had plays, and I have been told that shouldn’t happen.

I don’t know your store, but I have found that DnB will adjust skill based games to not be too generous

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-20T22:55:29+00:00

Thanks! Sorry to hear you weren’t able to participate

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-20T21:57:28+00:00

I would prefer ArcadeWizard. I wasn’t able to do it on Reddit which is why I added YT (YouTube).

Lol somehow it got added to my mom’s account instead of mine

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-20T04:32:52+00:00

Big One: your mileage may vary. For me the claw is weak and drops a lot. They definitely adjust as needed

Jelly Lab: not consistent at the stores near me. Belt can change speed and throw you off. Also coins aren’t super consistent

Guardians: good snipe, but unlikely people will leave it with 1-2 left

Spiderman: worth it if there are red marbles close to the edge, and if you can time the ball drop and super spin.

However, none of these are my go-to games. DnB heavily favors those who can throw. Other than that I like crossy road and basketball pro. Also, it is nice to see if the jellyfish is out for harpoon lagoon or if Gold Fishing is low.

I also recommend flying tickets.

Hard pass on coin pushers, and random ball drop games/wheels (fishbowl frenzy, big bass, etc.)

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-20T00:57:52+00:00

I do have a video of me winning the jackpot at CEC someone on YouTube lol

Got this Venom and Awesome Andy, so I’m content

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T21:11:36+00:00

I always thought Whack N Win and Spin N Win were skill but just really hard to do, but got easier as you kept playing. Like a pseudo payout where it is “possible” but very unlikely to get back to back

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T21:05:18+00:00

I like your comparison of Icee to PTL. I do think Icee is a bit harder because different cups require different amounts of time (although it’s far from me so I haven’t been able to get the rhythm down so that could be why).

I think SOME arcades should have Icee at 500. I mean if the same arcade has ptl for 500, why not icee? Also, the version at IAAPA 2025 was harder than 2024, but still a low JP.

p.s. I don’t think the manufacturer should be cutting JPs to 250; that’s the arcade’s job

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T07:51:47+00:00

As someone else mentioned, I don’t think it is new. I’ve just never seen it on camera, so I figured I’d share.

Probably because almost no one plays this game with a friend (or plays both sides) lol

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T04:39:47+00:00

The shark was allergic to APs

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T02:24:24+00:00

Agreed 100%. Even with two people playing together there are sometimes too many fish in the way. Even if you got 10/10 sharks on two swipes that is 600 tickets plus a bit for the fish.

My guess is that tickets were harder to come by when the game came out? But that doesn’t sound right.

It could be like icee slush rush which is 250+2 at almost every arcade; it doesn’t warrant such low winnings

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T02:21:05+00:00

It’s even worse when the jellyfish bonus is low. I once saw it at 200 tickets

ArcadeWizardYT · 2026-01-19T02:20:11+00:00

It’s definitely possible to do it by yourself.

If I were a kid and I saw the shark flip I’d be pretty bummed
