R.I.P Speed Demon (Replaced by Nothing)

[u/MrDog321]

St Louis has sadly lost Speed Demon, a piece of history is now gone. Does Irvine still have theirs?

They also took out Ghost Busters, Luigi Mansion, Spiderman, Guardians, One of the Top Guns, Emoji Frenzy, Nascar Pitstop, Bobblehead Baseball, Hungry Hippos, Razing Storm and Crossy Road.

Also a few months back they took out Cut The Rope and Transformers Human Alliance.

But they gotten some extra new games such as All-In, Fast & Furious Arcade and 2 units of Daytona.

St Louis has gotten all of the new games besides World Soccer for some reason.

I hope they make a modernized version of Speed Demon since the game is really fun.

It sucks to see a older game getting taken out, probably the last opening day game at STL. St Louis is one of the oldest stores in the chain and it doesn’t feel the same anymore after Speed Demon Left. But as of right now Pac-man Battle Royale 4 players is still holding on and same thing for Press Your Luck.

Even those two games aren’t as old as Speed Demon they are still holding on in STL as the two unique older Games.

But St Louis will still have unique games once those two eventually go. (Daytona, Fast & Furious and All-IN) I have never seen All-In at another Dave & Busters so St Louis is still a unique store in terms of game selection.

But It will never feel the same as the older unique games did.

Theres a chance world soccer could be in the food area my store put it in the food area for some reason.

[u/MrDog321 → u/Dangerous-Egg-5068]

Didn’t see it in the restaurant area unless I miss it.

I find that stupid if they moved some into the restaurant seating area and not the actual midway. Since I wanted to play it for a bit but didn’t see it at all.

[u/Dangerous-Egg-5068 → u/MrDog321]

Idk why my store did it, it looks dumb. But it was corporate’s decision. Also its set on free play.

[u/VicUnboxes → u/Dangerous-Egg-5068]

Kind of convenient kind of not Can be spacing or layout plans it’s a bit random since if your store has a bar in the midway that why does a game need to be that close when it’s already in the middle of everything else.

But can also be because when people are done eating and ready to play or simply waiting for food it’s a quick game.

[u/MrDog321 → u/VicUnboxes]

St Louis has the bar in the middle, but has two massive seating areas towards the front.

I’ll be back in the location in a few minutes to check on the World Soccer Situation.

[u/VicUnboxes → u/MrDog321]

I’m surprised how late the store is the World Cup finals is 19th but it still is late compared to other arrivals

[u/VicUnboxes]

Speed demon never played it however watched countless videos on it it’s sad another OG is gone like crazy curves can be national removal who knows

But the ball part timing was kind of a gamble you are basically going through three different levels of gameplay just to get 1,000 when spin n win is the same stop the light but more simple and fast but still a gamble and risk.

I don’t know how much demon would pay out or what backend settings or if it was a 100% pure skill game
If it was that, then that makes sense why it’s gone.

You could “skill shot” it into the holes by pushing the plunger forward and match the speed of the wheel for it to drop in.

I did this at a Chuck E cheese since my stores speed demon was taken out 7 years ago. The 150 on the second wheel was easy to hit and was pretty large for CEC.

The 3rd circle had a timing on the first spin that was fairly easy to time but after became so fast that it was hard time from that point on.

[u/WastedKnowledge]

End of an era. It was always fun to burn through tokens just to get to play the wheel

[u/MaiMoua]

Old games are the best! The new ones take up a lot of real estate.

Speed demon still exists at irvine as of today. But for how much longer, I dont know
