ICE NBA Gametime - Arcade Basketball with your favorite NBA Team

An LED-lit hoop shifts position between shots. Thirty-two team marquees face the floor.

Overview

The ICE NBA GameTime Team Specific is a mid-sized commercial arcade basketball game built around a moving, LED-lit hoop and officially licensed NBA team graphics. Operators choose from all 32 NBA franchises to customize the cabinet marquee, backboard, and graphics package, making each unit a team-branded installation. Up to six units link together for competitive multi-cabinet play.

Key Features

LED-Lit Moving Hoop

The hoop is motorized and shifts position during gameplay, raising the difficulty as the session progresses. Integrated LEDs illuminate the rim so the moving target is visible across the floor. Slam dunk sound effects fire on made shots, adding an audio layer that reads from a distance.

Official NBA Licensing — All 32 Teams

The NBA and individual team identifications on this machine are officially licensed through NBA Properties, Inc. Each of the 32 NBA franchises is available: Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs, Seattle SuperSonics, Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards. Team graphics appear on the custom cabinet, backboard, and marquee.

Deluxe Custom Marquee Options

A deluxe marquee is available as an add-on option, sized to span two linked units. The marquee carries NBA-licensed graphics and mounts above the cabinet pair, creating a unified branded overhead display. The marquee ships separately (73 in x 16 in x 40 in, 160 lbs) and requires a minimum of two game units to install.

Removable Top Cage for Low-Ceiling Venues

The top cage section detaches from the cabinet. At full assembled height of 105 inches, the unit requires standard ceiling clearance; removing the top cage brings the profile down to fit venues with 8-foot ceilings, expanding the range of locations where the machine can be installed without modification.

Linkable Up to Six Units

Multiple NBA GameTime cabinets can be connected in a bank of up to six units for head-to-head competitive play. Each cabinet operates as a standalone single-player game or as part of the linked group, giving operators flexibility to configure the bank size to their floor space.

Available Options: Ticket Dispenser, Dollar Bill Validator, Free Play

The cabinet supports a factory-available ticket dispenser for redemption configurations, a dollar bill validator for cashless coin-op operation, and a play-for-free switch for venues that run open-play or promotional periods. These are selectable options at the time of order.

How It Plays

The player shoots basketballs at the LED-lit rim, racing against a countdown clock to accumulate as many points as possible before time expires. As the session advances, the hoop shifts position, changing the shooting angle mid-game. From across the arcade floor, the moving rim and rim LEDs are visible on every shot, and the slam dunk audio fires on each successful make.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Low-Ceiling Install Option

The removable top cage means the cabinet is not locked out of venues with 8-foot ceilings — a ceiling height common in bar game rooms, hotel corridors, and older FEC spaces. The cage removes without tools, and the cabinet remains fully operational without it.

Scalable Bank Configuration

Operators can deploy a single unit and expand to a bank of six as floor space and demand allow. The linking architecture is built into the cabinet — no external controller hardware required to connect units. The deluxe marquee, spanning two linked units, is an add-on that can be added at any point.

Configurable Payout and Payment Hardware

The machine supports a ticket dispenser for redemption venues, a dollar bill validator for bill-accepting configurations, and a free-play switch for open-play events — all factory-available options. Operators can order the configuration that fits their location without third-party retrofits.

Dual-Voltage Power Supply

The cabinet runs on 110V or 220V, with draw of 3.00 A and 2.00 A respectively. The dual-voltage design covers both domestic and international venue installs and makes the unit compatible with standard commercial circuits — no step-down transformer or electrician-spec wiring required for domestic placement.

Yes. A ticket dispenser is a factory-available option on the NBA GameTime Team Specific. A dollar bill validator and a free-play switch are also available options, allowing operators to configure the payment and payout setup to match their venue's requirements.

How many NBA GameTime units can be linked together?

Up to six NBA GameTime cabinets can be linked for competitive multi-player configurations. The deluxe overhead marquee is sized to span two linked units and requires at least two cabinets to install. Single-cabinet operation is also fully supported.

Ideal Placement

The NBA GameTime Team Specific fits family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and sports bar game rooms. Its 39-inch depth fits standard arcade wall slots and the removable top cage opens the unit to venues with 8-foot ceilings, including hotel game rooms and restaurant entertainment areas. Sports-themed bars and arena-adjacent venues benefit from the team-specific marquee, which ties the cabinet directly to a local franchise.
