Bob's Space Racers Strike Zone II

A bowling-pin-shaped gun on the control panel fires ping-pong balls automatically. Six LED-lit targets glow at different distances up the lane.

Overview

The Strike Zone II is a bowling-themed ticket redemption game from Bob's Space Racers built for attendant-free commercial operation. A mounted bowling-pin-shaped gun automatically fires ping-pong balls toward six LED-lit targets, each carrying a different point value — the player's only task is to aim. Available in one-, two-, three-, and four-lane configurations, the Strike Zone II scales to fit locations of different sizes and floor plans.

Key Features

Bowling-Pin Gun with Automatic Ball Firing

A bowling-pin-shaped gun is mounted to the control panel and begins firing ping-pong balls automatically once a game starts. The player steers it but never manually loads or retrieves a ball — the mechanism handles feed and delivery throughout the session. The gun itself is visible above the control panel and readable from across the room.

Six LED-Lit Targets at Varying Distances

Six individual targets are mounted at different distances along the lane, each illuminated with its own LED. Targets positioned farther from the player carry higher point values. The LED illumination keeps all six scoring positions visible from the player's seat and from the side approach angle.

Bench Seating and Sit-Down Cabinet

The cabinet includes built-in bench seating at the control panel end. The sit-down format lowers the play position relative to standing redemption games, which opens the sightline to the full lane length and accommodates a wide age range.

LED-Etched Plexiglass Side Art

The cabinet sides feature etched artwork in the plexiglass panels, backlit by LEDs. The etched-and-lit panels are visible from the approach angle, adding a visual signature that distinguishes the cabinet on the floor.

Programmable Game Settings

Game time limits and the point threshold required to win a ticket are both operator-configurable. This allows the Strike Zone II to be tuned for different payout rates and difficulty levels per venue without hardware changes.

Multi-Lane Configurations

The Strike Zone II is available as a standalone single-lane unit or as linked two-, three-, and four-lane assemblies. Each lane operates as an independent game unit within the shared cabinet assembly. Lanes can be grouped to fill a wall run or match a specific floor allocation.

How It Plays

The player sits down, grips the bowling-pin gun on the control panel, and steers it toward one of six glowing targets while the machine fires automatically. The countdown clock and the six illuminated targets at varying distances are visible from the side of the cabinet — bystanders can read the scoring layout and remaining time without standing directly behind the player. When the programmed point threshold is reached within the time limit, the ticket dispenser activates at the end of the session.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Fully Attendant-Free Operation

The ball-firing mechanism, built-in play sensors, automatic reset sequence, and ticket dispenser all run without staff involvement between sessions. The Strike Zone II can be placed in lower-staffed areas of a venue or as part of a self-contained redemption run.

Configurable Payout and Difficulty

Both the target score threshold and the session time limit are programmable, giving operators control over ticket payout frequency without replacing any hardware. Settings can be adjusted per location to match venue traffic patterns and redemption budgets.

Scalable Footprint

At 25.38 inches wide per lane, units link together in two-, three-, or four-lane runs to fill a wall bay — or deploy individually where floor space is limited. Multi-lane assemblies occupy the same wall run typically held by alley roller or skee-ball banks.

Cashless Payment Ready

The cabinet ships pre-wired for card swipe reader installation — no custom wiring or cabinet modification required to add cashless payment hardware after initial deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Strike Zone II require an attendant to operate?

No. The Strike Zone II is designed as an attendant-free game. The machine automatically fires balls, uses built-in sensors to detect play and trigger the reset sequence, and dispenses a prize ticket at game end — all without staff involvement between sessions.

What configurations is the Strike Zone II available in?

The Strike Zone II is available as a 1-lane, 2-lane, 3-lane, or 4-lane unit. Each lane is an independent game. Multi-lane configurations share a common cabinet assembly, making them suitable for venues that want to fill a longer wall run or serve multiple players simultaneously.

How does the Strike Zone II dispense tickets?

When a player scores the operator-programmed point threshold within the countdown time limit, the machine automatically dispenses a standard 4-inch prize ticket with special prize redemption capabilities. The target score and time limit are both programmable by the operator.

What are the power requirements for the Strike Zone II?

Each lane draws 115V / 60Hz / 3.20A / 184W on a standard domestic single-phase circuit. Export configurations run on 230V / 50Hz / 1.60A / 184W. Operators installing multi-lane assemblies should plan for one circuit per lane at these draw figures.

Ideal Placement

The Strike Zone II suits family entertainment centers, bowling centers, trampoline parks, and pizzerias where a staffed redemption counter is not always available. Hotel game rooms, movie theater lobbies, and restaurant waiting areas with limited staff coverage are also natural fits. Multi-lane assemblies at 25.38 inches per lane fill wall bays typically sized for alley roller or skee-ball banks.
