Emoji Frenzy - Location Restrictions?
Long time lurker, first time posting 😅 so far I have been able to win the instant win barcode emoji ball twice! However, I’ve noticed that my regular location (Long Beach) is fairly strict with redemption. Once they found out I had the ball, they said I needed to redeem it that night. There were only 2 options, so I chose heart eyes 😍 Knowing this, I tried to be a little strategic with redeeming the second ball. When there were no emoji plushies on display, I asked them what they had available and they basically wouldn’t give an answer unless they could confirm that I had a ball. Then they radioed someone and I waited like 10 min before deciding to leave because I thought they would take my ball away 🤣 The Orange, CA location says they will only accept the ball if it was won at their location and they also would not share what else was available. Their Emoji Frenzy machine was completely empty, so they already knew I did not win there. Finally, the Irvine, CA location did not have any on display, but they did check their inventory for us and they happened to have received a new shipment and had the purple devil emoji that I wanted 😈 they did not interrogate me and the staff were super nice and friendly. They swiped my card and gave me my prize, even though I had not played at that location. 😅
This has me wondering: - Has anyone else had a hard time redeeming their instant win ball? - Does Dave & Busters really have that ability to see my game / location history from my card? I assume this is to prevent resellers from selling the instant win ball 🤷🏻♀️
