ICE NBA Gametime Pro Home Arcade Basketball

A powder-coated steel chain net above a real wood floor. Five game modes loaded. One removable arch.

Overview

The ICE NBA Game Time Pro is a full-size home arcade basketball game handcrafted in Buffalo, New York, using the same materials as ICE's commercial arcade version — real wood flooring, 14-gauge cold-rolled steel side cage, and a powder-coated steel chain net. It carries an official NBA license, supports up to four players across five distinct game modes, and ships in a configuration that accommodates standard 8-foot ceilings via a removable top arch. Every unit is built to order in the USA and includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Key Features

Arcade-Grade Steel and Wood Construction

The side cage is formed from powder-coated 14-gauge cold-rolled steel — the same gauge used in ICE's commercial arcade cabinet. The ball return runs over a real wood floor surface, and the net is a powder-coated steel chain rather than nylon, which holds its shape under repeated play and does not fray or stretch out over time.

Five Game Modes

Pro: the classic timed mode — score 75 to reach round two, score 100 to reach the final round. Money Ball: timed scoring with bonus-value targets marked by money signs ($ = 5 pts, $$ = 10 pts). Pig: elimination format in which each missed shot adds a letter (P, I, G); a player who completes the word is eliminated, last shooter standing wins. Last Shot: timer counts down from three seconds, each player gets four shots, lowest final score wins. Time It: players time each release to land when a moving line passes over a scored zone — three color bands, each worth a different point value.

Official NBA Licensing and Team Customization

The game ships with official NBA graphics as standard. Buyers can upgrade the marquee to any of all 30 NBA team colorways — 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, Los Angeles 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, Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz, and Washington Wizards. An optional team floor mat applies the selected team's decal to the playing surface.

Adjustable Height and Removable Top Arch

Overall height is adjustable from 87 inches to 101 inches. The top arch detaches completely, bringing the assembled unit within the 96-inch (8-foot) ceiling clearance common in residential game rooms and basements. The standard configuration is described as 8 ft; an extended 9.5-foot podium version is available as an upgrade for taller spaces or a higher shooting challenge.

LED Backboard Lighting and Jumbotron Display

LEDs are built into the backboard and illuminate during play. The unit also features a jumbotron-style scoreboard display with slam dunk sound effects, keeping score visible and audible across the room.

Six Basketballs Included

Six 7-inch basketballs ship with every unit. Buyers can alternatively configure the order to include 9-inch basketballs. Additional sets are available separately. A parts pack with a manual and all tools needed for assembly is included with every game.

How It Plays

In Pro mode, the player shoots continuously against a countdown clock — hitting 75 points advances to round two, and 100 points unlocks the final round, so each game has a natural escalation visible on the jumbotron display. In Time It mode, the player watches a line sweep across three color-coded zones on screen and times each shot release to land at peak value, adding a wrist-timing layer that's visible to anyone watching the display. From across a game room, the LED backboard, jumbotron readout, and chain-net impact make each basket land with a distinct visual and audio cue.

The game ships in a near-complete state; final setup is documented as a two-person job under two hours. Every unit ships with a parts pack containing the manual and all tools required for assembly. A white-glove delivery and installation upgrade is also available for buyers who prefer full-service setup.

Built to Order in the USA — Changes Accepted Within 48 Hours

Each NBA Game Time Pro is hand-built to the buyer's specifications in Buffalo, New York. Order changes — team selection, ball size, floor mat, podium upgrade — can be accommodated within 48 hours of order placement, giving buyers a window to adjust customization before production begins.

8-Foot Ceiling Clearance with Arch Removed

The removable top arch lets the cabinet fit under a standard 96-inch residential ceiling. Height is adjustable between 87 and 101 inches, so the unit can be configured for different room heights without replacing components.

One Standard Household Outlet Powers the Full Unit

The NBA Game Time Pro runs on a standard 110V three-prong outlet — no dedicated circuit, no electrician required. It plugs into the same outlet type found in virtually any residential game room, basement, or garage.

Frequently Asked Questions
