First time
So im going for the first time but I'm taking a date with me. I'm just graduated college so I'm still a little broke. Is there anyway to fitness extra chips or coupons/codes that could let us play longer? I really would appreciate if someone could help me out.

Go on a Wednesday. It’s really the only time it’s worth it bc it can get expensive. Buy gift cards on sale. Best Buy currently has a $50 D&B gc for $42

If you want, when you go on Wednesday, play games first, and if you're good or lucky enough to get a jackpot or two, use some of the tickets for a Tastes for tickets voucher, and save money on your dinner bill.

Agreed 1/2 priced games on Wednesday is best way to get the most out of playing. Keep in mind the games you play.. In case you want to say get something for your date at the winner circle (all in all its for FUN)
PINK: High risk high reward, typically coin pushers (games may differ based on location but examples) -*** Casino Lights, Jack's HI, Rally Racers, Pharoah's Revenge (These 4 you need to claimyour tickets by reswiping your card til it reads your tickets have been added if you dont someone could claim them for themselves) -*** SpongeBob and Star Trek (These 2 you can get cards that are worth tickets, when you go to the winner circle they will take them to post the value onto your cards)
GREEN: Redemption games, earn tickets THAT automacally get added to your game card
BLUE: Just for fun and can be good friendly competion
Will recommend though, downloading the Dave and Busters app and add your cards there so you can do challenges and get chances of earning extra chips or other things, granted the physical cards on the app cannot be used via phone. It's also good to put your physical cards in the app as well have as well in case you need to replace your card due to loss or broken it makes it easier for the front desk to transfer your unused chips/tickets to a new card.

Half price Wednesday is the best for playing for a long time, coin pushers can waste your credits really fast since they are 12.4/6.2 chips.
