This D&B is like any other but I am just not impressed with games that constantly cheat you out of tickets and nasty bathrooms.
CROWD AND WAIT TIME (5 stars!):
For being in such a popular area, the crowd wasn't too bad on a holiday from noon-3ish. The most we had to wait to play ticket games was 1 person. Not bad at all.
STAFF (5 stars!):
5 stars for the wonderful staff! The bartender was friendly even though we just wanted waters the whole time, the techs were awesome and we saw them the most because the coin games were being jerks. The prize clerks were actually friendly rather than the "I hate life" clerks we have found at other locations.
COIN GAMES CHEATING YOU OUT OF TICKETS ( -1 million stars):
So half of the coin games that were actually working get 0 stars because if you don't constantly continue feeding the 10 coins you pay for then it thinks nobody is there making it hard for the slower strategic players. When too much time passes between the play of a coin and the time coins fall then it won't give credit for the win/tickets. The techs told us that this is so D&B doesn't shell out tickets for gravity doing its job aka those awesome random coin falls. This makes D&B a real DB! Getting random tickets for ghost falls was always part of the fun of those machines. If a coin falls, someone, anyone deserves to get the tickets, especially when your screwing players out of their actually earned tickets. FIX YOUR MACHINES! Players: 1. always ask for help when you notice you're not getting tickets for coin falls. 2. always make sure you get 10 coins per swipe. Every machine we went to had 2 or 3 get stuck. The techs will help you every time.
NASTY BATHROOMS (0 stars):
0 stars for the nastiest bathrooms in the Waterfront. This must be a D&B thing because every D&B bathroom I've entered smells like urine, toilets are nasty, exposed feminine products stare you in the face not 1 foot away from where you pee (I don't want to see a used anything thank you), and either there is not enough soap dispensers or they've run out of paper towels. Don't forget the overflowing trashcan. There's a lot of people going in and out, D&B needs to clean their bathrooms every hour or 2.
