    So ive been going to arcades ever since i was a kid and ive always asked myself how much it would cost to win a video game console at one of these arcades, so i bought $302 or so dollars worth of Dave & Busters chips just to see how far i would be off from getting a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One! Find out how much in my case i would in theory need to pay!

    I once won one for $100
    Frys had their $25 gift cards for $20
    I bought 5 of them then used 20 for 20 double chip coupons
    In total I had 1200 chips
    I went four Wednesdays in a row and played just certain games
    2minute drill, down the clown, fish bowl frenzy, and crossy roads
    Sounds like a lot work to accomplish but it only took about 2 hours each time I was there and in the end I got to have fun playing games and got a switch for $100

    Funny story.
    So I was at SeaWorld last year at the arcade when I saw one of the machines had a Switch in it as a prize. I didn't play it because I was aware about how rigged those machines were. Literally 2 minutes later a guy came up to the machine and won the Switch. While I did own a Switch at the time it did hurt me a little knowing I could have been the one to win it but it's better that he won it as he has a family that will probably enjoy it.

    You should play the skill games. Like milk jugs. I always pay $1 per 10 Game Chips. With 1800 Chips, I can win an easy 110,000 Tickets in 3-4 hours.

    Hey, so I am pretty good at arcades and knowing every tricks for the best prizes.
    First things first, don't go to Dave and Busters unless it's Wednesday. Half price days on that day, not to mention there can be coupons where you can get double the amount of chips form the price.
    Next tip, Big Bass Wheel is NOT a great game for tickets. The best games are the skilled ones that involve learning to master and getting consistant jackpots. Games like Crossy Road, Quick Drop, Whack the Hammer, Floppy Tickets, Space Invaders Frenzy, Hop Star, ticket pusher games, Nerf Strike, Pop the Lock and more. Those are games that can be won every time.
    The last tip, is to not go to Dave and Busters. Considering there was footage of different ticket values per console in the beginning of the video you should know that Dave and Busters has the most expensive ticket values (besides Chuck E).
    For me, there is a bowling alley arcade that does half price day specials and their ticket value per prize was 45,000. In the end I spent around 450$, got an Oculus Quest 2, Yeti Mic, Switch game and 2 pro controllers.

    Big bass wheel is not enough;
    There are two types of games in arcades to recognize, the standard Video game cabinet (games for fun) and redemption games (the ticket earners.) The redemption games are the ones you wanna focus on. At Dave and Busters, they're usually identified by the green card scanners. Blue card scanners are the ones for fun. For other arcades though, you're gonna have to recognize what certain machines look like and remember their respective names. Part 2 will come after i pay a visit to D&B.

    (I have very little experience with these games)
    Part two of my comment.
    In my Dave and Busters visit, the only game I got skills and a jackpot in is Spider man. That's right, I sucked at Quik Drop, Crossy Road, Milk Jug Toss, pop the lock, and even tried one of the rigged ones: spin and win. I spent $25 and I only got 1,400 tickets which was only enough for a cheap RGB keyboard.
    I think that maybe next time I visit Dave and Busters, I'm gonna utilize the Coin Pushers in my strategy, from what I've seen They're guaranteed skill based and for sure ticket earners. I heard and seen that you can Earn Tickets per coin/Chip that falls over but the card collection utilization can earn you BIG AMOUNTS of tickets.
    Part 3 is coming soon.

    Love you Rod, but if you want to make the most tickets this game is the example of what NOT to play. This game is probably rigged, and even if it isn’t it is still random luck. Try this with games like Pop the Lock or that one Milk Toss game as they are both skill based. I’m sure you’ll get at least twice as many tickets!

    Speed of Light is my game. I can get 398 tickets back to back on Wednesday. $20 if I use the 20 for $20 coupon on Tuesday and play on 1/2 Wednesday. If I only play that game only, I can get 19900 tickets with 50 plays with 200 chips.

    I remember when Dave and busters you could get 500 tickets for beating the basketball high score now they completely took it away after me and my dad found the hack. For me and him combined we got up to 2-3 million tickets then they bumped it down to 250 per high score win now they completely took it off 😕. We’d walk out of Dave and busters with 8-10k tickets every night

  • @DriverGuy23
    @DriverGuy23 3 года назад

    The wheel is possibly the worst game to play. The skill games are where it’s at. If you practice at some of the skill games, you can improve your odds, but even with good odds, you will still only break even. I’m super good at the Zombie finger game and can knock off pucks for 500, 300 & 250 very regularly. I won 4000 credits for only $20 on Half-price Wednesdays, but that still comes out to spending $500 to get 100,000 tickets. So, nobody is getting any deals at D&B. 😂

    I can consistently win a Nintendo Switch for $110. I made a video of myself doing a $100 challenge in one day. But we need people to win consoles at $2000 so its sustainable for APs. You need to find a game that you can actually be good at, alot of APs do stuff like Crossy Road.
    But it's good to know the average D&B customer will keep D&B profitable so I can win more stuff.

    I've won like 5-10 Nintendo Switches for $110-120 and sold them on Craigslist for $260 most the time. I calculated it to be about $20 hr without tax, so if it were like a job, the pre-tax hourly rate may be more. I have $4000 cash sitting in a safe. Could have been more if the pandemic didn't happen b/c now all DB are all closed and stopped my AP.
