In 1997, the company introduced the Power Card, a rechargeable card that simplifies gameplay and rewards guests with points redeemable for prizes. This innovation has enhanced the gaming experience and streamlined operations.
In 2022, Dave & Buster's expanded its portfolio by acquiring Main Event Entertainment, a family entertainment center chain. This acquisition has allowed Dave & Buster's to diversify offerings and reach a broader audience.
