The arcade bar is turning heads after announcing their plan to allow customers to make a 'friendly $5 wager' through their official app.

Dave & Buster's announced they were upping their game by allowing patrons to place bets on arcade games.

Shocked social media users are bracing themselves for what they predict will lead to chaos at the restaurant/bar/video arcade establishments in 44 states across the country.


Dave & Buster's customers 18 and over will be able to make a "friendly $5 wager" on various arcade games like Hot Shots basketball and skeeball competitions through the company's new app, powered by the gambling software Lucra.

The increasing popularity and legalization of American sports betting likely influenced the company's new digital gamification upgrade.

The new system will engage gaming patrons by placing bets using real money in the spirit of "friendly competition."

Simon Murray, senior vice president of entertainment and attractions at Dave & Buster’s, touted his enthusiasm, saying:

"We’re thrilled to work with Lucra to bring this exciting new gaming platform to our customers."
“This new partnership gives our loyalty members real-time, unrivaled gaming experiences, and reinforces our commitment to continuing to elevate our customer experience through innovative, cutting-edge technology.”

But customers were not so sure the "innovative" change is a great idea.

They anticipated pandemonium.









People thought it would set a bad precedent.



Users believed this new gimmick wouldn't end well, and that is the one bet they're willing to make.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
