ICE Quarterback Pro

Pop-out targets rise from the lane. Eight footballs feed automatically from a built-in conveyor belt.

Overview

The ICE Quarterback Pro is a commercial redemption arcade game in which players throw real footballs at pop-out targets to accumulate yards and score touchdowns. A built-in conveyor belt automatically feeds up to eight footballs back to the player, keeping gameplay continuous across a 45-second session. The unit ships as a single cabinet or as a two-cabinet set joined by an overhead marquee that links both units and displays live Quarterback Ratings.

Key Features

Pop-Out Target Mechanic

Targets physically extend from the lane surface during play, requiring players to read the field and time each throw to connect. The first 30 seconds reward accurate target-reading; the final 15 seconds shift to rapid-fire mode, increasing the cadence of target appearances and throws.

Automatic Conveyor Ball Return

Eight footballs ship with the game and cycle through a built-in conveyor belt that returns each ball to the throwing position automatically. Players maintain a continuous throwing rhythm for the full game session without bending down or waiting for manual resets.

Quarterback Rating and Hall of Fame Leaderboard

At the end of each game, the cabinet calculates a Quarterback Rating based on the player's accuracy and total touchdowns thrown — a touchdown is awarded when a player accumulates 100 yards. The top five QBR scores are stored on an onboard Hall of Fame leaderboard displayed on the cabinet.

Dual-Cabinet Linking with Overhead Marquee

Two Quarterback Pro units can be connected via the optional Mega Marquee, which spans both cabinets and displays live QBR data for both players simultaneously. The linked configuration measures 85 in W x 120 in D x 122 in H and supports head-to-head competitive play. Up to two units can be linked.

Service Access — Trap Door and Swinging Arm

The cabinet includes a built-in trap door and a swinging arm that provide direct access to internal components for maintenance. The two-person assembly is designed to be completed in under an hour from delivery.

How It Plays

The player throws footballs at pop-out targets as they rise from the lane — timing each release to connect before the target drops back down. For the first 30 seconds the targets appear at a pace that rewards reading and anticipation; the final 15 seconds switch to rapid-fire mode, with targets appearing faster and the conveyor feeding balls in quick succession. From the side or front of the lane, bystanders watch the targets physically pop up and get struck, and can read the live QBR climbing on the display with each completed pass.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Trap Door and Swinging Arm — Under-an-Hour Service Access

The built-in trap door and swinging arm open directly to the mechanical components inside the cabinet. Two-person assembly from delivery takes under an hour, reducing install downtime on placement day.

Adjustable Game Time for Location Tuning

Gameplay duration is programmable — the factory default is 45 seconds but operators can adjust session length through the onboard programming menu to match their location's pace and pricing structure.

Play-for-Fun Mode

The Quarterback Pro can be configured to run in a play-for-fun mode that operates without ticket payout — useful for venues that want the game active as an attraction during events or non-redemption promotions.

Scalable Single-to-Dual Configuration

The unit ships as a standalone cabinet and can be expanded to a dual linked setup at any point by adding the optional Mega Marquee. Operators can start with one unit and add the second without replacing hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Quarterback Pro includes a play-for-fun mode that disables ticket payout while keeping full gameplay active. This is configurable through the machine's programming options.

How many footballs ship with the Quarterback Pro?

Eight footballs are included with the game. They cycle through the built-in conveyor belt automatically during play and do not need to be manually retrieved between throws.

How long does a game of Quarterback Pro last?

The recommended gameplay time is 45 seconds — 30 seconds of target-reading play followed by a 15-second rapid-fire finale. Game time is adjustable through the programming options to suit different operator configurations.

How many Quarterback Pro units can be linked together?

Up to two units can be linked using the optional Mega Marquee. The marquee spans both cabinets overhead and displays the Quarterback Rating for both players simultaneously during linked play.

Ideal Placement

The Quarterback Pro fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and sports bar game rooms where a football theme aligns with the venue's existing programming. The single-cabinet footprint of 41 in W x 120 in D suits venues with open floor lanes or activity corridors. The dual-cabinet linked configuration at 85 in W is well suited to larger FEC game floors or event spaces that can dedicate a competitive zone to the unit.
