"The organization, SC Citizens for Equal Enforcement of Gambling Laws, LLC, says the company's machines effectively let customers risk money for a shot at winning more. In the filing, the group argues the setup 'permit patrons to deposit money for the purpose of trying to 'win' more by playing games of skill or chance.'"
"Players receive electronic tickets based on performance or outcomes. According to the filing, 'the more tickets a player accumulates, the more valuable a prize the player can acquire.' The prizes range from small items to higher-end electronics, including gaming consoles, tablets, and virtual reality headsets."
A South Carolina advocacy group has filed a lawsuit against Dave & Buster's, claiming its arcade games constitute illegal gambling. The group argues that customers deposit money to play games of skill or chance, which fits the legal definition of gambling. The lawsuit targets locations in Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Greenville, seeking triple damages for customers who spent over $50 without filing their own claims. The complaint details how players use a 'Power Card' to play various games and earn tickets redeemable for prizes.
