Arcade basketball games can be found everywhere from bowling alleys and shopping malls, to family rooms, and Lifetime Products is joining in the fun by offering the all-new Lifetime Double Shot basketball arcade game. Arcade games became popular back in the roaring ‘20s when they first appeared in the midways of bustling amusement parks where visitors were invited to test their agility and coordination to win the grand prize. Today’s home arcade players may not win a giant stuffed panda, but they still find that these games are a great way to relax and enjoy some friendly competition.

While there are several basketball arcade games on the market to choose from, the engineers at Lifetime have designed innovative features for the Lifetime Double Shot to ensure friendlier usability, safety, and convenience. All these improvements add up to a lot more fun for you! The following are some improvements we’re sure you’ll appreciate:

  • Dual Height Adjustment - While other basketball arcade systems are designed with one height, the backboard on this system can be adjusted to two different heights to accommodate high or low ceilings, as well as provide players with options for a customized game.
  • Optical Scoring Sensor - Optical scoring sensor is more accurate than the latch scoring arm found on most other arcades on the market and it eliminates problems with the ball getting stuck between the net and the latch arm. Latch arms can also break very easily.  
  • Rims – Thicker gauged steel rims with strong support braces prevent rims from bending.
  • No Sagging - You may have noticed that some models out there have sagging ramps. Lifetime has solved that problem by replacing elastic straps with buckled nylon webbing straps that can be used to tighten the ramp. A front brace bar has also been added to alleviate sagging and to keep the balls within easy reach.
  • Convenient Storage - During the rare times when the Double Shot is not being used, it is designed to fold up against the wall using push buttons, rather than pins, so it will safely lock into place as you lift it up.

If you’re an arcade enthusiast and would like to add an arcade game to your family home entertainment, consider the advantages of the Lifetime Double Shot basketball game. The durable construction of this system means you’ll be getting your money’s worth for a product that will last, and the innovative features mean a whole lot of fun for family and friends of all ages at parties and get-togethers. You don’t have to go out to have fun--create your own exciting arcade atmosphere right in your own home!
