Title: Official machines?
Post by: Stopherbuck on February 22, 2018, 02:28:28 pm

Is there a list of places around the country with machines that are completely legit and certified where just playing them can be officially counted for scores?

Funspot in Laconia, NH for one, certainly.  You'd need to film the game still, obviously but no need to open that one up, if that is what you want to avoid.  Where are you located?

NYC right now. Jacksonville, FL usually.

Probably one of the Barcades in NY (Brooklyn, NYC, St. Mark's), assuming they aren't DDK's (not sure if DKF accepts them or not) which I think the Brooklyn one might be IIRC.  Tough to film there though unless it's like Saturday at noon, which is when I would usually go anyway.  Barcade becomes like a nightclub after dinner time and playing a game becomes near impossible.

I don't know Florida very well in terms of the arcades/DKs in that area but some other members might.

Boomer's Fun Park?  Kappa

St. Augustine over here. You and I are in the same boat. I'd love to find a DK cab in the area, but I've had no luck so far.

If you go to the Brooklyn Barcade, hit me up.  I live a few blocks away from there :)

There's a DK at the Strong museum of play. Plus dozens of others.

Are there any official machines not in the States ?


Any in Europe?


Would [size=78%]https://www.arcadeclub.co.uk/ (https://www.arcadeclub.co.uk/)[/size] qualify as an official DK for play in UK?


How about Netherworld's DK in Australia?


We need a larger network of official machines. I think Jry should be sent on a world tour to certify some DK's around the globe for DKF.
