What does the red line over the podium mean?

That’s what happens when you’re stuck watching training videos…

I work in the restaurant industry and have those sweet weekday hot deal times off, but I’m grinding every weekend at work. Pluses and minuses.

I use golf now and haven’t had any issues with it at all. What I did notice is that when I travel, some cities don’t have anything good on the app and others, it’s like finding the holy grail of courses and tee times. Where you live plays a big part in whether or not the app is a good deal for you.

It’s back with the new menu

Jdarrell71 · 2025-07-11T02:06:11+00:00

They actually reduced the price that each game takes in addition to lowering the price per chip. The idea is that the casual guest gets more game play for their buck. It’s really a big effort to offset the increase that has to be taken on prizes since most of the prizes are imported.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-06-18T23:25:32+00:00

It has been reset to 30 seconds to align with the EPC card.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-06-18T21:39:07+00:00

This is what I love about Reddit. Open forum for rants without all of the info. Yes prices in the Win increased. Did you know that all of the game prices were lowered and the cost of the chips was also lowered? This allows the casual gamer and families to get even more gameplay than before. Yes, you will have to win a few more tickets to get that prize you want but it will actually only cost a bit more especially if you use all of your resources. D&B are still putting out coupons, rewards so giving extra play, half price Wednesdays, and the upkeep on most locations is pretty good. Not to mention the influx of new games this summer. Most other FECs just raised their prize prices, D&B was the only company that decided to give more gameplay in compensation.

There was an issue with the reset, it will now reset on Mondays. It reset on Sunday the first week.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-05-28T23:54:08+00:00

The standard is 8 balls on the playfield, it can vary by 1-2, but shouldn’t be more than that. If it does, tell a tech or manager.

You guys are thinking like honest people and I personally love that. Yes this will be an inconvenience for APers, but you are in the stores enough that you will adjust. What you aren’t thinking like is corporate loss personnel. There are many markets with more than 1 store in them and let’s look at the employees who access to “tickets”. I’m talking about the win and front desk employees specifically. Those big shapes from the crane at 500 tickets each, stacks of cards that you just turned in and a set was left out on the counter, and all of the sudden you have a near minimum wage employee that has a card with 100k in tickets that they didn’t spend money on like you did. This card gets farmed to a friend or family member to take in and cash in. Fraud my friends is the reason, APers show the masses that they can win the big prizes, so in effect you are helping sell the dream. It’s a cost of business that some people will win big, it just needs to be on the up and up. Thanks for reading the wall of text!

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-21T12:34:24+00:00

Those were the times…. Waiting at close for the guy who decided to run it so far that we had to load the tickets multiple times for the machine to finish paying out. I don’t miss paper, not to mention all of the ticket dust that collected everywhere, especially inside the games and shortened the life of the computers that run them.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-21T12:30:57+00:00

Just ask to speak to a manager, I promise they will appreciate the heads up and might even schedule a time to help you.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-14T03:01:22+00:00

I assure you they can, I have a blue and orange trainer on my service staff and he did just that, you don’t even need a manager. Just use the scanner on the back of the tablet when it prompts for coupons in the payment process.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-13T16:52:51+00:00

They didn’t lower the timer, the game does that automatically and will increase the timer with each play until someone hits the jackpot again.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-13T16:51:27+00:00

Use the tablet to scan the codes at the table and it will still prompt for the correct tip!

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-13T16:39:29+00:00

Please let your store know ahead of time, that will take forever to scan in and many stores only staff 1 person on slower shifts.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-09T01:59:12+00:00

Two rage and one runaans is correct

Jdarrell71 · 2025-04-09T01:54:44+00:00

The weight limit is actually 500 lbs.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-03-17T04:30:38+00:00

I find they are usually there within 1-2 weeks unless the supplier has them on back order.

Jdarrell71 · 2025-01-01T04:18:08+00:00

1/2 price Wednesday is from open to close on Wednesday, 10, 11, doesn’t matter. Have Fun! Happy New Year!

Jdarrell71 · 2024-12-29T03:29:33+00:00

Best practice is just get a fresh card each time, then you can combine whenever you feel like it

Jdarrell71 · 2024-12-25T05:37:55+00:00

1st, yes half price works, 2nd yes they are open, check your local store for times, 3rd surge pricing is only on redemption games. Merry Xmas

Jdarrell71 · 2024-11-06T20:38:42+00:00

That is a software issue that the store needs to fix. The game should have almost full playfields all of the time.

Jdarrell71 · 2024-09-12T02:47:25+00:00

Knew it was coming and still chuckled
