![]() ![]() ![]() It's not completely unlike walking around a casino and playing slots and blackjack, and then losing track of how much money you've lost. I don't know where the time went, but I do know I put another $60 on my Power Card. The liquefied Laffy Taffy (watermelon pucker, coconut rum, cherry vodka, blue curacao, Sprite, pomegranate syrup) I drank during happy hour wore off hours ago and I'm hungry. I lie a lot and get offered drugs and strippersĩ:25pm. I'm not gonna make 100k in a day, but there are coffee mugs with the D&B logo that I covet instantly. I meet one woman later who tells me she knew a regular with 100,000 tickets on his card, and he'd let his kids buy whatever they wanted at the store. They can be cashed in for prizes at The Winners Circle "store." A PS4 must take months to earn. These tickets are are a huge part of why people come back to D&B. I estimate it would take a few months and hundreds of dollars worth of gameplay to get enough tickets to win that Wii. The woman tells me that they "bought" a Wii with all the tickets they won. I sit down at a game next to a couple with a ton of tickets in front of them. Unlike a casino, no one is holding a drink and kids are everywhere. Like a casino, this place is full of people who look like your grandparents. To put that in perspective, Caesers, an actual casino, only has a market cap of $947 million dollars.Īt this point, the "casino" floor has about 50 people in it, a mix of kids running around, and strangely, adults. And like many casinos, D&B is listed on a major stock exchange, and has a market cap of $1.45 billion. You don't use cash here, which reminds me of how casinos force you to play with chips. But still! That's serious money for some chicken fingers, a beer, and a few video game plays. Granted, that $32 also got me a Power Card, which has credits on it so I can play video games. More accurately, Thrillist is, as I'm gonna expense the shit out of this when I get home. Just kidding, they're called Legendary Goldfingers. I'm barely four hours in and I've already had a beer and D&B-brand chicken fingers strangely named after the weirdest James Bond theme song - Octopussyfingers. I discover D&B is like a casino, but with more coffee mugsĢ:12pm. ![]()
