Angry Birds Coin Crash

I was playing Angry Birds, and went to tap my card, and saw this. Anyone know what causes this?

Issues At Other Stores

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had an issue with this. So I've gone to a few different stores to get a game system since my local is out. 3 different times now I've been told no. They give different reasons but I've been thinking it's just that they don't want to give out there products to someone who doesn't go to that store. This last time the GM straight up told me he wouldn't let me spend that much today because I haven't played at his store. I've got a email from corporate after the last time this happened saying that's not a reason not to sell something as long as the tickets are legit. I told him this and was told that he'll look at it, but still won't let me get it. Frustrating since it's 2 hours away.

PSI for mandolorian players.......

The star wars coin pusher was just nerfed from 3000 tickets to 1000 tickets and they are removing the rare cards from the set. Apparently this is the new global setting as well. Just another of d&b finally getting a good game and then saying f*ck you to all their customers.

Star Trek: hands up, who would have played for these Tribbles?

I have a pocketful of Elaut tokens, but none of these three Tribbles I spotted were nearly close enough to the edge for me to try playing for them.

I also noticed that none were trapped by tokens, so I was also concerned about the possibility of them sliding backward once they got near the edge.

What would you have done? Play or pass?

I walked up to the Star Wars coin pusher…this is the D&B equivalent of finding one of those “Must Hit By” slots ay a casino $0.01 away from triggering.

Anything new in the redemption area lately?

Have about 120k tix to blow and since getting the PS5 there hasn't been anything interesting or I already have. Food is ok but I'd rather have real stuff.

Been a few months is there anything new worth looking into?

Spider-Man: It's NOT great day for me! 😆

Well, well, it’s rare that I walk past Spider-Man with 4 Spider Sense lit up, one step away from Rapid Auto Shot and four Big Balls near the edge. It’s almost too good to pass up. So I didn’t pass it up. I swiped once for 12 chips on a full price day to see what I could do.

It didn’t take long to remind myself why I should give myself a lifetime ban on coin pushers 😆. I managed to get one Big Ball to drop and got it into the Super Spin hole on the Big Ball Game, but I ended up stopping on 120 tickets just one panel short of the 1000 tickets.

By the time I took all 12 shots I still hadn’t managed to activate Rapid Auto Shot, so I swiped again for another 12 chips. Ouch. These chips are burning a hole in my pocket. At least I managed to get the Rapid Auto Shot on this swipe, but this should come as no surprise to anyone…no more Big Balls dropped off the edge.

So did I learn my 24-chip lesson for 122 tickets (2 mercy tickets for the second swipe)? Probably not, but I hope I do not live down this experience for a long time to come. I’m much better off watching others play, but this setup was sooo hard to pass up!

If you’ve ever had a similarly demoralizing experience, you’re not alone!

Almost 3400% tip?!

I used my Level 8 meal for four coupon yesterday, but when the server tried to apply it through the tablet it didnt apply correctly. She went back and took care of it with the manager and brought me back a receipt for $0.00

Only problem was that meant I couldnt run my card to leave a tip! I told her she could just ring me up for a soda but she did a cheaper ranch cup instead, so I tipped 20 bucks on a 64 cent ranch cup. I do appreciate that the tablet wanted to make sure I meant to do that and didnt just say thanks for the money, pal!

Went back to the Colorado D&Bs (Westminster & Denver) Here’s my experience

Went to Denver first this time, walked in and noticed some of the games were having some issues. 2 Minute Drill only had 4 balls, Down the clown was gitiching, Floppy was laggy, not enough balls in BTP.

Asked a tech about 2MD and Floppy and he said “Maybe you just had a bad play on those”
Didn’t want to make it a big deal but I want people that go to this store to have a good experience.

But on the bright side world football pro was finally working and that game is actually fun and reminds me of Simpson soccer. Only thing is it’s not the best for tickets but arcades aren’t just about making a profit it about having fun. would’ve been the perfect world cup game but the other two options were good.

Also this store had the best Grid Iron Blitz I had ever play, the sensors on the pad were very accurate.

They also had the Avengers Pusher which can be a good snipe if you only need two stones left for the spin.

This store wasn’t bad but definitely was better last year when I went. But I was still able to win a decent amount of games.

Westminster

After 2 hours or so I went over to Westminster. last year this store was a mess maintenance wise but it was slighty more better.

Just like in Denver 2 minute drill only had 4 balls in it but plates and clown were way more better.

Floppy was much better than Denver and all of the other games were good besides from Quik Drop which had a terrible ball dropper and Doodle Jump’s lever being weird.

I liked this store more better since it has alot of unique games that came from the Colo Spgs store or another store. (Waterfuls, gum drop, cosmic XL, Willy Crash, Daytona, Jet Blaster, Squiggle, Snocross, Power roll, Shipwreck and some more) Also has games like Mega Stacker which isn’t at Denver anymore.

Games maintenance was way more better than last year besides from a few games. Their Kick N Win is on harder settings than Denver’s but I still managed to win an Ecuador ball. Also won Tweety from the grab n wins.

Winner circle was filled up at Westminster and I got a box of those Fifa Ballers since I wanted to Display them on my setup.

My Final Thoughts

Both Stores were good and have their Negatives and positives. If you are visiting the area I recommend the Westminster store but Denver isn’t bad either.

Both stores lost (Nascar, Spiderman, GOTG. Emoji, Top Gun, Bobblehead Baseball) since they sent those units to Main Event. Also some more games like Angry Birds Arcade at Denver.

I did see someone doing something interesting with the summer pass, but I won’t say what store or game it was. But they were doing something sorta smart.

Overall good experience these two stores are pretty big and have a-lot of unique games.

I rate 7.5/10 Game Maintenance wise for Westminster and 4.5/10 for Denver. But had a good experience at both.

Changes being made to the Eat &Play combo promotion.

It seems like now, the Eat & Play combo requires you to first purchase a power card, and then add an entree on top of it. The terms seems to say that you're able to purchase a $10 card at minimum, but there values shown on the page are the same $25 minimum as usual.

It seems that, for those who read the fine print, you're able to get a better deal, but most customers will be paying more than before.

Thoughts?

Do coin pusher cards have global settings for card distribution?

I noticed the location i frequent changed mandolorian groku to 1 in 100 anzellans from the prior 1 in 50. Is there a global setting for the distribution that they're supposed to adhere too? The tech said he intentionally put "a couple" (2, as i verified as i collected the stack) in the stack of 200 cards he loaded.

Are rhythm gaming (DDR/PIU/etc) cab updates universal or decided individually by AMs?

For all the rhythm gamers here:

I noticed some DnBs upgrading their DDR/PIU cabs recently. Is this something that will happen at all DnBs eventually or is it determined by the amusement manager at a given location?

Maybe some game techs here can weigh in on this?

2026 Fifa World Cup Balls

I have over 200 world cup balls now, all 48 countries collected 3 times. The orher day I offered a free ball to anyone interested in paying shipping but I really am trying to sell these as a little side hustle, I have 2 kids so anything helps with necessities. I will happily sell the full set to anyone interested.

Just thought I'd share this story as well, the other day I offered a free ball for people who pay shipping. So someone asked me if I have the panama ball available still. I told him yes its available and was ready to send it free if he paid shipping. This guy then tells me he wants SIXTEEN more balls and to make sure I don't send him any balls with any scuffs or damage. Just let him know the size of the box so he can pay the shipping. HAHAHAHA dude I offered a free ball, never said get as many as you want. I try to do something nice and people take advantage. Then to say he has some of them already but their damaged so make sure the ones I send are perfect. 🤣🤣🤣 i just sold 20 balls to someone why would I give 17 away for free? If you look at my post its pretty clear I meant only one ball... exactly why noone does anything nice for anyone these days
