CNBC reports that Dave & Buster’s — that Dallas-based entertainment giant which let’s people watch sports, play games, and drink and eat all in one venue — will soon let people place bets on arcade games like Skee-Balll and Hot Shots basketball.

These $5 wagers, continues the New York Post, will be available to loyalty members via the Dave and Buster’s D&B Rewards app. People must be 18 years or older in order to participate.

Dave & Buster’s created this initiative through a partnership with Lucra, which a press release announcing the collaboration explains is a “leading technology provider of gamification services.” Lucra’s software will allow D&B app users to not only place these bets, but compete with others, earn rewards, and tap into exclusive perks.

“We’re thrilled to work with Lucra to bring this exciting new gaming platform to our customers,” says SVP of Entertainment and Attractions at Dave & Buster’s, Simon Murray.

“This new partnership gives our loyalty members real-time, unrivaled gaming experiences, and reinforces our commitment to continuing to elevate our customer experience through innovative, cutting-edge technology.”

As for when customers will be able to bet on these games, well, CNBC states it’ll be within “the next few months.”

There will also, continues CNBC, be a limit on how much money one can bet, although said limit hasn’t been disclosed just yet.
