A basketball machine – also known as a Basketball Arcade Machine, Basketball Shooter or Hoop Game – is one of the most successful amusement devices for arcades, shopping centers and events. These machines combine skill, competition and quick wins, ensuring high player numbers and stable revenue.

Whether in a shopping center, arcade, bowling center, amusement park or at events: basketball machines attract visitors of all ages. The dynamic scoring system, LED lighting and balls that roll back automatically create real fun – while also increasing revenue per customer.

With their robust construction and low maintenance requirements, basketball machines are among the most popular arcade games in Switzerland.

A basketball machine is an interactive game device in which players must score as many baskets as possible within a time limit. The ball rolls back automatically, making rapid shots and high hit rates possible. Many models offer multiple difficulty levels, countdown modes and competitions for individual players or groups.

After inserting the money, the game starts automatically. The player throws the balls at the movable hoop, which rises or moves sideways depending on the difficulty level. The faster and more precise the shots, the higher the score. Many machines feature:

• LED displays for points, time and high scores
• Multiple rounds with increasing difficulty
• Speakers with sound effects
• Settings for time, points and levels

The machine runs electrically and is easy to set up.

Basketball machines are ideal for:

• Arcades, amusement parks and family centers
• Shopping centers and train stations
• Bowling and billiard centers
• Bars, event halls and hotels
• Corporate events, promotional campaigns and sports events

They provide fun for all age groups and increase dwell time as well as revenue per visitor.
