Phil Lewis: Dave & Buster's will begin allowing customers to bet on arcade games “Customers can soon make a friendly $5 wager on a Hot Shots basketball game, a bet on a Skee-Ball competition or on another arcade game.”

Dave & Buster's to allow customers to bet on arcade gameson.nbc10.com One of the largest entertainment operators in the country, Dave & Buster’s, will allow its loyalty customers to compete against one another on its app.

oh no, I hope that doesn’t attract weirdos to Dave and Busters

I could already do that though. I just go hey bro five bucks says you suck

But now Dave gets a cut. Buster has religious objections to gambling and wants no part of this.

Both are dead.

Ah well. Nevertheless…

(To be honest I’m a little surprised that they were real people)

Can confirm. Dave used to pay a guy to dress up as Elvis to clean his pool.

Buster shot himself in the head months after a TBI from a stroke

Well that’s a bummer

But now the house gets a cut, capiche? Nice kneecaps you got there.

Right?! Headline should be "Dave and Buster demand a cut of your friendly bet"

well I think its a good idea to mix drinking and gambling, and have the subject of gambling be rigged ticket games

I'm doubling down by taking wagers on the number of friendships ended by betting on Dave and Buster's arcade games

Because I can't see this ending badly at all.

Imagine leaving a Dave & Buster's owing them $20,000 and wearing a barrel and suspenders like a cartoon bankrupted person from the 30s

ACTUALLY, that would be a good bit

So just so straight up gambling for kids, wtf.

And we already called redemption machines kiddie gambling!

The great thing about this is that now, instead of betting your friend $5 on Skee-Ball and getting a bill that goes in your wallet, he pays $5.44 to Dave and Busters and the state of NY, and you receive $3.87 on a points card that can only be redeemed at participating locations.

True innovation

Very wild what we’re doing with gambling in this country, tbh.

Super gross

It's a friendly $5 wager until someone pulls a gun.

Or a stagecoach robbery.

Wait til the mob families start moving in on the arcade restaurant business.

Imagining a modern western movie where the fight breaks out over skeeball instead of poker. 🤔😂

As someone who has a close family member who struggled his entire adult life with a gambling addiction, I am very worried for the well-being of many Americans and their families. It is a truly awful addiction.

I’ve been skeeball shark for years and never needed help from Dave and Busters

NBC 10 Philadelphia helping them sanitize their industry

A guy told me a story years ago about a guy that didn’t pay his gambling debts. Two guys showed up at his business.

This happened in RI.

Is that the entire story?

I asked the fellow who the store owner owed he said “ Skyball” This is the guy. www.masslive.com/news/2011/12...

Organized crime in Springfield evolved through death and moneywww.masslive.com Francesco "Skyball" Scibelli became boss of the powerful Genovese family faction in Greater Springfield after his predecessor, Salvatore "Big Nose Sam" Cufari, died.

I’m 71 and my tales go way back for some here. They are all true though.

Funny. I was waiting to see if anyone would bite. Rather than spill it all. Typing on a phone.

Sidebar. If you are involved with RAINN tip of the hat to you.

No. They asked him for the money. He didn’t have it. Pulled him over the counter broke one leg with a bat. Told him next week they’d be back to break the other if he didn’t have the dough.

Not even an exaggeration, this will result in shootouts.

gambling is poisonous, especially when controlled by evil snakes like the investor class

I legit thought that this was a parody post.

dave: "you'se tommy? the boss says you owe my friend over here $80 but you ain't got the scratch. let me give you some advice, you either pay up now or we come back here with buster. you ain't gonna like buster"

That's so sickening.

Gambling is just not something you should be doing.

Funny . Mass just cut the funds for “problem”gamblers . Good luck to everyone.
