What is Dubbz Arcade?

We remember it well. With a pocket full of tokens, replaying that one arcade game until we hit the top of the leaderboard. That feeling of shutting out the world as we got in the zone, each level getting a bit more intense with the high score on the line.

So, we got nostalgic and launched Dubbz Arcade! The Dubbz Arcade introduces quick, fun, and easy to play web-based games that you can play directly in your browser or mobile app. Recapture that old school magic with a hand-picked collection of classic arcade games.

We’re starting with 10 familiar games like “Space Alien Invaders” and “Hyperspeed Ball”, and will add new titles to the Arcade catalog as we partner with more game developers.

New ways to play and earn

With Dubbz Arcade, we have introduced a new asynchronous matchmaking mode. That means that you and your opponent don’t need to play at the same time. Play now, and we’ll find you an opponent with the same entry fee within 24 hours. The player with the highest score wins!

You can also challenge your friend using the same system — they will have 24 hours to accept the challenge and play.

In either case, if an opponent is not found or your friend doesn’t accept your challenge, your entry fee will be refunded.

If you are a gamer, read on for a quick tutorial on how to play.

If you are a game developer and would like to see your game on the Dubbz Arcade, reach out to us at partners@dubbz.com! We can integrate wagering directly into your game and give you an exciting new way to monetize and engage your player base.
