#Welcome to the D&B Advantage Player subreddit. If you're a first-time visitor, please read the main sticky post before posting - It has a lot of good information (and covers why many things may not be talked about openly)! This subreddit is the place for anything related to the Dave & Buster's restaurant/arcade chain, with a focus on strategies for winning and profiting from their redemption games. All D&B-related posts are welcome!

Star Trek cards/sets can be turned in after the next set is available!

REWARDS FAQS!

Should another arcade/chain of arcades be profitable, discussion on them is welcome here as well. However, this is why it is unlikely Round 1 will ever qualify for that.

NOTE: This does mean that posts referencing advantage play at Main Event Entertainment are allowed here. However, keep in mind that MAIN EVENT DOES NOT APPLY GLOBAL SETTINGS - It is very likely even somewhat short amounts of significant AP on particularly games may invoke a nerf at YOUR store level. Proceed with caution. Don't bitch at this sub if you decide to attack a game hard at your store and its JP is cut by 50-75% the next time you return.

Posting/General rules:

If something is wrong at your D&B location, please be constructive. "My location sucks and I never want to go there again" - Not helpful. "Games X, Y, and Z are broken/not working right at my location and I believe they should be working in this manner, can anyone verify?" - Helpful!
Use common sense in distributing info, especially outside of this subreddit - You don't want people to be swarming your main game to where you can't get what you're looking for out of it, or tilt the numbers too much away from D&B's favor. Posting game-breaking Information is a reportable option and will be removed.
Spreading of False Information that could end in a bad result is not allowed. Racism is also not allowed.
Don't beat up a single game so hard D&B changes how it works. As a general rule, if you're doing more than 100,000 on one game in a week, if you keep going the way you are now... You're gonna have a bad time.
In nineteen ninety eight, the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.
Everything else should also be common sense - If you're selling the stuff you win, don't massively undercut other people to sell your stuff. You don't need to do that. It might affect the market long-term if it continues. AP as much as you want when playing, but still tip the waitstaff if you eat or drink there.
