About Skeeball

Skeeball, commonly found at arcades, was one of the first redemption games. As a redemption game, skeeball players earn tickets that can be traded in for prizes.

Skeeball History

Skeeball was invented in 1909 by J.D. Estes in Philadelphia. The original skeeball lane was 36 ft long. This was found to be too big for most arcades, and restricted the game to very strong players. The lane was then changed to 14 ft. Skeeball was first popularized by the outdoor amusement park industry. At one point restrictions were put on skeeball because it was seen as a form of gambling. However this idea quickly faded. Now skeeball can be found in most arcades throughout America.

Skeeball Tips

Make sure to come to the arcade with enough coins to play several games of skeeball in order to win enough tickets to get a prize.
