What is unique about the Skee-Ball® Deluxe?
Skee-Ball® Deluxe features rich burgundy colored, durable construction and classic design for an affordable arcade game with THE ONLY authentic Skee-Ball® look and feel. It includes four (4) quality, wall friendly rubber balls with a digital scoring display and ball counter. It’s the perfect addition to your rec room, man cave, she shed, or any indoor use room.
Where does my Skee-Ball® Deluxe come from?
Skee-Ball® Deluxe arcade cabinets are made and shipped from good ol' Pulaski, Wisconsin (USA), just outside of Green Bay - home of the Pulaski Polka Days, Skee-Ball®, and of course, the Green Bay Packers. Your Deluxe is handmade, in house, with the same quality and attention to detail as any original Skee-Ball® alley roller you'd find in the arcade.
I love Skee-Ball® - is this the real deal?
This is it. In 1908, Joseph Fourestier Simpson of Vineland, N.J. applied for a patent around a new game idea that had a "skee-jump" mechanism on an alley to launch a ball into targets that had a built in automatic scoring mechanism - the foundation of the Skee-Ball® we have all come to know and love.
Fast forward more than a century, Skee-Ball® has become more than an icon and a brand, it's become a household name, one that sparks joy related to all the happy memories it evokes. We love what we do, and we love to play more - so if you're thinking about adding a Skee-Ball® to your home arcade, basement, man cave, rec room, or anywhere people gather together at home, consider a Skee-Ball® Premium, Skee-Ball® 1908, Skee-Ball® Classic, or Skee-Ball® Glow.
Anything else is just an imitation of The Original Alley!
Is there a two-player option?
Yes, there is a 2-player challenge mode! Here are the basic arcade style rules:
1. Each player rolls 9 balls up the ramp into the targets.
2. Watch the LED display to keep track of your ball count.
3. Highest score wins!
High-fives, fist bumps, and bragging rights are encouraged.
What if I live by my own rules?
Own it. We've got some alternative game options, if you want to get wild and go rogue:
1. Hundo Rally: Players aim only for "hundo" targets.
2. No Look-Skee: Players roll 9 balls blindfolded
3. Around the World: Players aim for 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 100 - 10 - and 20 target.
4. Black Out: Players must hit each target once.
5. Make up your own game and share it with us on the interwebs: @officialskeeball #skeeball
Talk to me about the "home friendly balls," and why are there only four?
Deluxe uses a high density rubber ball. The game play is the same, but the feel is different as it is a lighter weight ball. Or as we say a "dry wall" friendly ball!
Balls collect and auto-return in the front, rather than down the side, which means there's only room and only need for 4 - because they'll keep coming back. The digital display keeps track of ball count and score, so the game play is the same as the arcade, with more accessibility.
I want the arcade experience - the sounds, the play, everything - will this give it to me?
Yes! Save for the physical footprint, this includes the original Skee-Ball® arcade sounds, the same game play, and the same hours of fun and years of memories made.
