I think out of the party I was with (about 10 people) and the some 10 other strangers walking around the games, more than half of our 'power cards' weren't working. Not to mention my card didn't work properly 95% of the time I was there (40 minutes) and asked for a refund that was promptly denied. but does anyone still actually play that?). which is maybe three different genre of games (air-hockey/racing games/shooting games.
So unlimited video games really only means any game that DOES NOT give out tickets. So weak that half of the games you want to play aren't included. Thats all im going to say, your welcome though ! He should then bring to you finger traps. Show him your card and ask for the fingertraps, and cross your fingers! It has to be a manager, regular person will not help you. Now go to the winners circle and ask for a Manager on duty. Keep playing any game that you want until you run out of credits. Now go to any machine you want and swipe your card, you will notice it will deduct points from it when you play.thats ok! You'll notice right away that the second you insert the cash it will automatically credit your account for the quoted amount of tickets! This part is huge. Once you find the right one make sure you are using CASH! It has to be cash, using a credit or debit card can put you into a liable situation you dont want to be in. When you see the row of 2-5 of them the trick is to find the one that has a lit up background. Well here's the thing, there is a special kiosk in every dave and busters. Now your asking yourself, yeah its a kiosk big whoop. It has to be an electronic kiosk where you can see your card history and put money in the machine! Not the front desk kiosk you can't always do this trick with a real person and you risk getting kicked out. What you want to do then is find the kiosk. So when you walk in head to the right or left or straight depending on your location. Archived HUGE exploit I discovered at Dave and Busters
