Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) for a bowling simulator (2) that has a bowling lane (3), a lane approach (4), a ball stop system (5), a pin pit (9), a lateral gutter (6) and a bail return system. A projection screen (8) is arranged in front of the pin pit (9) and above the bowling lane. A projector (11) is arranged to display images (12) on the projection screen. Sensors (13-15) are provided along the bowling lane and arranged to sense the direction of impact, speed and force of the bowling ball. A computer unit (17) is connected to the projector and sensor to calculate the onward travel of the ball towards the pins. A realistic image (12) of the pins as they are knocked over the ball (16) is then projected onto the projection screen (8).
