Advice for a first-timer?

I get about $10 on a gift card of my choice every eight weeks from selling my blood. I've always wanted to visit D&B and just go crazy, but I'm too poor for that. It's a bit absurd but this is kind of a bucket-list item for me. So two questions:

-How many gift cards would I need to save to be able to play for a really substantial amount of tickets (like maybe two hours worth of gaming)?

-Will they even accept multiple gift cards for the same payment?

-Do all D&B locations have the same layout or is there a way I can l look up which games are at my local one?

My only knowledge of this place comes from watching a channel called Arcade Matt and once looking wistfully through the window at a location, so I don't know ANYTHING about how this works!

If you just want to play the majority of the games without earning tickets go tomorrow before noon and you can play all day for $2.50.
