Saturday night, done properly
The Jackpot Challenge is the heartbeat of the lounge. From 18:00 the featured machines run qualifying heats — top 16 advance to the arena bracket at 22:00, where head-to-head runs decide the weekly champion in front of a full house.
Weekly winners bank seeding points toward the monthly Grand Final and its $1,000 prize credit. Between rounds the izakaya runs a challenge menu and the floor DJs take requests — it's as much a night out as a competition.
