Mini Bowling

Mini Bowling – small on space, big on fun

Bowling is enjoying ever greater popularity.  However, the floor space and administration required for a classical bowling alley often pose a problem for proprietors of small-scale recreational venues.  Mini Lane Tenpin Bowling is the same as conventional bowling but on a smaller scale.  It only requires about 40% of the space and is played with a correspondingly sized ball (140mm) and pins.

Other key advantages

· Small space requirement – fits in anywhere
· No special structural requirements
· Coin-operated machine without central control
· “Stand alone“ operation, no service personnel require
· No need to oil the bowling surface
· Bowling shoes not required
· Side barriers for accident prevention
· Promotional and advertising displays plus fun games
· Main emphasis on fun and activity.

These features open up a whole range of applications for Mini Lane Tenpin Bowling installations.  For example, they can enhance the attractiveness of leisure parks, shopping centres, holiday villages, children’s play and recreation centres, existing bowling centres and the fun and leisure sector in general.  Coin-operated systems or “stand-alone“ solutions without service personnel are also possible.  And they can incorporate all the familiar features of classical bowling (scoring systems, games and graphics, “glow in the dark“ effects, running lights, bumpers, masking units, etc.).

Mini lanes are virtually maintenance free with a daily static mop of the lane surfaces, cleaning of the run up area, and emptying of the coin boxes required.  A weekly check of the machinery and quick clean is recommended.  Depending on the level of utilisation a check of the pins and strings is required monthly for very high usage and quarterly for medium to high usage.

Mini Lanes can deliver a return on investment in less than one year. Mini Lane Tenpin Bowling has universal appeal giving pleasure to children their parents and grandparents – fun for all the family.
