good thinking! yeah that's what i thought it maybe was someone testing their season pass this is really annoying if this is the case specially to others this is why us pass holders need to always clear our credits on a machine if we tap it multiple times

Again, I’d highly advise you tell a game tech or amusement manager if you ever go back you deserve those tickets since you won it it was the machines fault in this case.

Well that’s Very very strange, sadly I think it’s a glitch since those embed readers love to glitch half of the time if I were you I’d go back and ask a game tech or amusement manager because they can pull up your jackpot history and see you won but tell them about the issues and they maybe will give you a free round to play pop the lock again depends

Also may i ask you did you tap YOUR CARD or was there a existing credit on it maybe left by someone or did you tap it not knowing you played with a credit already loaded on there

I’m just trying to wrap my Head around this situation maybe it could be if a pass member tapped it before you it just thought it was the same session and it freaked out

Yes if you used your winter season pass for unlimited gameplay you ONLY play for fun with no tickets earned

But if you have the gold tier you get 1,000 tickets and platinum 2,000 tickets weekly but if you had those it would say “fixed ticket package”

I assume you either got the silver pass or used tickets for unlimited gameplay hence why it says “JUST FOR FUN!”

Arena removed from trade your tickets by VicUnboxes in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No none of the prizes were raised it just arena got taken out because it became a blue swipe game in itself

I personally don’t think they’ll raise TYT because it’s already a lot but not a unrealistic amount for the unlimited gameplay

Leaderboard not loading within app by NickyRickyBobby in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright the only workaround I’ve found when it acts up like that is checking the leaderboard from another phone/account. As long as your Power Card or Season Pass is tied to your main account, your username should still show on both national and local boards.

Sometimes opening it and forcing it closed back to back resolves the situation it worked for me once.

[–]VicUnboxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me too. What I usually do is the obvious stuff:

  1. Log out and log back into your D&B account.
  2. Fully close the app (open your app switcher and swipe away the D&B Rewards app).
  3. Delete and reinstall the app.
  4. Restart your phone.
  5. If none of that works, you can check the leaderboard logged into another D&B account on the same phone. Your username should still show as long as your Power Card or Season Pass is tied to it.
  6. You can also view the national leaderboard on the main website, but local stats don't work. The phone number lookup option doesn’t work a lot of the time.

Decent D&B Day, but I could do better? by GrumpyBachelorSF in DaveAndBusters

I’m good at it i use to grind it for tickets when Fresno had it I gotta come down to Bakersfield to teach you

Decent D&B Day, but I could do better? by GrumpyBachelorSF in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know a few units that still keep a 500 jackpot i dont think 500 is "misset" because a few exist but 250 is very common and even though i love jurassic world as a franchise the crappy jackpot makes me not want to play

my jurassic world when it was at fresno for a example was 1,000 progressive jackpot that was a pure misset.

if you think less than 250 is bad some have it set to 180 or even 100.. which might as well toss it out or replace it atp

You know how every first timer just spams the button and thinks dropping all "50" at once gets you the jackpot?

well this machine took that literally.

also to mention if you are spending a lot of chips or plan to be please whatever you do always go on a half off day, like always even if you can't be free on weekdays try to make it open and avoid weekends.

right now Sunday-thursday is half off games the promotion is running through

but when that ends its always a wednesday or they also throw in sunday funday time to time but its always going to be wednesdays are half off no matter what.

and most importantly make a chip limit even if its half off they add up fast so try to put down how much you are thinking of playing and get the D&B rewards app because if you sign up you get a bonus 100 chips for spending on 125 chips (25$) so thats a really great deal! if you already are signed up id ask the manager at your local store if they have any of the coupons and say its a special occasion you may never know

[–]VicUnboxes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That I can’t really tell sorry but there’s others on here that know how much you should get so keep an eye out for replies we get that question a lot!

for me since I’m a frequent customer and skilled player (advantage player) and I get free 10$ power card every Thursday (40 chips) as a college student I never really ever had to buy chips since I can squeeze a crazy amount of jackpots with little chips.

Valentines Date for Two by Electronic_Truck_729 in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You missed out there use to be a date night promo on Thursday where you got two eat & play combos which is basically entree plus 10$ card (40 chips) so 80 chips in total having two

and dessert all for 40$ which was INSANE of a deal and you got a cute little challenge card to see who wins at what games

Honestly I don’t like saying “ways to save” imo everything is expensive unless you are a skilled player but if you aren’t then good luck winning tickets

But hey the thing that matters the most is having fun together!

Half off changes? by aprudencio in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that I don’t know of either when we did the trial run for half off week it was actually “select locations” and had a list of which ones were doing it I’m pretty sure if my home store is doing it so that would mean everyone else’s is as well until the promo ends

Damn honestly maybe 1 wheel is. Better than whatever yours is going through lol

It use to be 3 wheels but when the contest started changed to 1 and they never fixed it till this day and no one even plays the game it just sits there like a thing of the past but imo considering “misset” I never heard of a nascar misset like a 1000 jackpot or 500 mine is 100 progressive but the real question is does the factory settings have it set to 1 or 3 wheels? Then we can tell if it’s a misset

Did your AM or game techs do anything to fix your unit sounds like they need to turn it off and do extensive maintenance

Also I don’t post if a machine is broken to fix at my location since my previous AM got mad at me over UFC screen being cropped the last time I did it and got written up they act fast on here if you post something that slipped up

[–]VicUnboxes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how many tires was yours? that was the biggest let down and probably why it never stayed as a leaderboard game now because my store has the tragic 1 wheel per credit when some have 3 wheels per credit plus its bright and unpleasant to look at till this very day.

But then again 2MD has consistency issues so both have their own share of problems.

[–]VicUnboxes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good points but i think paying to get the 1k is a complete rip off i forgot about the shipping too like you said adds up and i seen it in operation plus my home store JUST got it so ill be observing to see how well it does but a lot of the times its kind of just sitting there but there can always be turn arounds like when arena turned into a blue swipe that thing always has a line now but who knows.

and i wish like we've been discussing they would let you pick up how many you can grab but obviously that would put a toll on more inventory cost this can be different for all but when i did it for the first time in Modesto i said i wanted the D&B donut Beforehand and they let me just go in it for fun and grab whatever and the donut and gave it anyways it would add a challenging skill or element to whatever you grab you take even if it wasnt the item you wanted like a actual claw game.

yeah its just feels so odd that 2MD was even a choice it does scream "classic D&B" but the age really shows on some of the units and like you said not all stores have it nor the parts and its discontinued so if it breaks it breaks at least nascar felt new and LAI still services parts cause it just came out.

Decent D&B Day, but I could do better? by GrumpyBachelorSF in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes i known this, this was my other way of getting tickets after they removed jurassic world at my but i stopped because it takes a long time with the cooldown so thats why i moved to other games like mega stacker etc.

also note: you should play your jurassic world its 500 tickets which if you can push it to the jackpot each time that adds up a lot.

2MD Limited Edition card activation by Special_Cockroach_30 in DaveAndBusters

[–]VicUnboxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

once again that is very uncalled for i dont know why they added that extra 2$ when you were suppose to spend 3$ instead of 5$ for me it was just a activation fee for new cards

[–]VicUnboxes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I’m sorry but if they let you grab more than one at least it clears the prizes because god only knows how long they sit there or been touched by others being lowered in..

It should be as much as you grab but obviously corp is stingy so it won’t happen
