roughly. My kids never went at home as it's $2 a game but there they went wild.
The first time I went there was a sign saying "10.000 dua jam". I didn't read Indonesian then and thought it was 10.000 a coin so I said no. Later we went back and realised it was 10.000 for 2 hours (that was about $3 then).
When my kids were younger I just gave them $5 in their wallet. That way they got the hang of bargaining without risking losing a lot of money. Hats, wallets etc to buy friends are only $1. Surfboard keyrings are good to buy friends at 2.000 (26cents) max.
When my kids were a bit older I just lay by the swim up bar or floated around the lazy river and told them to report in every half hour.
Have fun.
