Straight Arrow News
Dave & Buster’s will soon be letting customers bet on arcade games, but not all states will get to participate.
The arcade company is partnering with gaming provider Lucra to provide customers with a “fully immersive experience at venues nationwide,” according to a news release from Lucra.
Here’s what we know about the system.
How does the Dave & Buster’s gambling system work?
The partnership will integrate Lucra’s gamification software into the Dave & Buster’s app, allowing loyalty members to compete with each other, earn rewards and unlock exclusive perks, Lucra announced.
It will not be like a casino where you are making bets against the establishment. These wagers will be made between peers similar to a “winner takes all” style. All competitions for money are intended to be friendly and not competitive.
How old do you have to be to bet on Dave & Buster’s games?
The betting function will only be available to players age 18 or older and in 44 states, according to CNBC.
Even though this is the age that Dave & Buster’s allows, the age to bet in Tennessee is 21 years old. It is unclear which age guideline the betting will follow and if there will be variations between states.
What games will be included in the Dave & Buster’s betting?
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. The betting function, expected to launch in the next few months, will work through the company’s app.
Will Dave & Buster’s betting be legal in Tennessee?
Betting will be an option for Tennessee residents as Lucra is classified as sports betting. Sports betting became legal in Tennessee in 2019.
Betting will not be done in the typical style as there is a limit to how much can be placed. While neither company has disclosed the maximum allowed bet, Lucra said across its history the average bet size has been $10.

How many Dave & Buster’s are there?
Dave & Buster’s is the owner and operator of 223 venues in North America, including 164 Dave & Buster’s branded stores in 42 states, Puerto Rico and Canada. The company also operates 59 Main Event branded stores in 20 states across the country.
