ICE Double Dribble

Two shooting lanes. Eight basketballs. Both nets lit and active at the same time.

Overview

The ICE Double Dribble is a dual-station redemption basketball game built for commercial arcade environments. Two independent coin-in stations let players compete head-to-head or shoot simultaneously in their own separate games, and a reduced-height net with 6-inch basketballs opens play to younger guests alongside adults. A built-in tie-breaker bonus round resolves competitive matches without a draw.

Key Features

Three Game Modes on One Cabinet

Double Dribble supports single-player mode, two-player simultaneous mode (each player running their own independent game on separate coin-in stations), and competitive mode where both players coin in and score against each other on a shared timer. A single cabinet serves solo walk-ups and competitive pairs without any configuration changes between plays.

Escalating Point Values Within Each Game

Baskets scored in the first 30 seconds of play count as 2 points. Baskets scored in the final 15 seconds count as 3 points. The point multiplier shift mid-game changes shooting urgency as the clock winds down, giving the late-game window a distinct visual and physical intensity at the net.

15-Second Tie-Breaker Bonus Round

If two competing players are tied after the first 45 seconds of play, the cabinet automatically triggers a 15-second bonus round to determine the winner. The bonus round activates only when a tie occurs — otherwise the game completes within the standard 45-second window, keeping cycle times short for waiting players.

Reduced Net Height and 6-Inch Basketballs

The net is mounted lower than a standard arcade basketball cabinet, and the included balls measure 6 inches — sized for smaller hands. Younger players can shoot alongside adults without a reach disadvantage, which widens the playable age range on a single unit.

LED Lighting with All-Angle Side Panels

Brightly lit LEDs run the cabinet exterior, and the side panels are designed to remain visible from multiple approach angles — not just front-on. The illuminated profile is readable from across a game room floor regardless of where the unit is positioned relative to traffic flow.

Ticket Redemption with Play-to-Win Option

The Double Dribble ships with a ticket dispenser and coin mechanism already installed. A play-to-win free-ticket configuration is available as an option, giving operators the ability to set payout structure to match their venue's redemption program.

How It Plays

The player picks up one of the eight 6-inch basketballs from the return tray, steps up to the lowered net, and shoots — scoring 2 points per basket in the first 30 seconds and 3 points per basket in the final 15. In competitive mode, both stations run simultaneously: each player's score updates in real time, and if the clock hits zero with scores level, the cabinet triggers the bonus round automatically. From across the floor, the two active shooting lanes and the LED cabinet surround are visible through the full duration of play.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Two Independent Coin-In Stations

Each side of the cabinet has its own coin mechanism, so two unrelated players can each start and pay for their own game independently. In two-player simultaneous mode, the cabinet collects payment from both stations at the same time on a single footprint.

45-Second Cycle Keeps the Cabinet Available

Standard play runs 45 seconds, with a maximum of 60 seconds only when a tie-breaker triggers. The short, fixed cycle means the cabinet turns over quickly in high-foot-traffic locations where lines form — no extended games that block the next player.

Dual Voltage for Flexible Installation

The Double Dribble accepts both 110V at 5 amps and 220V at 2.5 amps. Operators can deploy the unit in domestic venues and international locations without sourcing a separate step-down transformer.

Ships Ready to Earn

The coin mechanism and ticket dispenser are installed at the factory. A play-to-win free-ticket configuration is available as an option, so operators can dial in payout structure at the location level without aftermarket parts purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many balls ship with the ICE Double Dribble?

The Double Dribble ships with 8 basketballs, each measuring 6 inches. The smaller ball size is intentional — it allows younger players to shoot comfortably alongside adults on the same cabinet.

How long is a standard game of ICE Double Dribble?

A standard game runs 45 seconds. If two competing players are tied at the end of that window, a 15-second bonus round activates automatically, bringing the maximum possible game length to 60 seconds.

What game modes are available on the Double Dribble?

There are three modes: single player, two-player simultaneous (each player coins in separately and runs their own independent game), and competitive mode where both players coin in together and go head-to-head on a shared timer. Mode is determined at the time of coin-in with no operator intervention required.

What is the assembled footprint of the Double Dribble?

The assembled cabinet measures 67 inches wide by 59 inches deep by 75 inches tall. Shipping dimensions are 70 in W x 62 in D x 80 in H, and the unit ships at 585 lbs.

Ideal Placement

The Double Dribble fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and pizzerias where mixed-age groups play together. Its 67-inch width occupies a standard floor slot, and the 75-inch cabinet height clears standard ceiling heights in most commercial game room environments. Mini-golf clubhouses and movie theater lobbies with open floor plans also provide the clearance and foot traffic volume the cabinet is sized for.
