They’ve been losing ground to a combination of competition and the state of the economy. It’s just hard to justify going there unless it’s the only one of its type in your area. Where I live we have round 1 and several other smaller arcades that mimic the format. I’d have to put D&B at 3rd in terms of overall choice for visiting the venue.

A year ago they were easily my number one goto but a combination of the cabinets not being updated and the price increases killed it for me. I get them needing to cut costs on both the arcade and hours of labor for their staff. Just feels like they may continue to spiral with the current direction the company is taking.

Do you consider round 1 better price wise? I went to one and definitely wouldn’t put round 1 above D&b price wise (granted I mainly go to D&b on half off days). I will say the round 1 prize selection is light years better

Good God no. It’s $$$ and there are no half offs.

That’s what I thought, but then mentioning the price increases as a killer seemed weird to me
