With the increase of online sports betting across the country, Dave and Buster’s plans to take its entertainment venues to the next level by adding the option to bet on arcade games.
According to CNN, Dave and Buster’s has partnered with Fucra, a gamification technology company, to allow members to place small bets via the company’s app. However, Fucra has tried to distance the product away from gambling by emphasizing the reliance on the player’s own skills and ability.
Since Dave and Buster’s welcomes participants of all ages, many wonder if exposing children to gambling at such a young age will have a negative influence according to The New York Times.
