Cost per game in your area?

[Amyers]

I bowl regularly in most of the houses here so I generally get a discount. The cheapest is $1 a game and half the time they tell me just not to worry about it. The most expensive is $2.50. I generally try to go when they aren't busy. I don't expect to get to bowl for $1 a game on Friday or Saturday night though.

Wow! Are these private houses or franchise?

Lots of specials in my area ( Akron OH ). Many places have $1/game times. Some have $7 for three hours of lane time. One place is $1/game and each game equals a ticket for a free ball every week.

The center I go to has lots of specials. My favorite is a $3.00 cover charge, $.25 for shoes and $.25 per game from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. twice a week, during afternoons.

3.50 to 5.99 depending on the day and time. Fridays 8-11 it is $10 bowl as much as you can

[got_a_300]

We pay $1.25 per game plus tax which comes out to be $1.38 per game
which isn't all that bad. We also have a special pay $10.00 and bowl all
you can for 2hrs and then on Sat. night it's cyber bowl night $10.00 all
you can bowl from 7PM until 11PM.

Update on this.

Several centers are finally running some worthwhile specials.

Also, the summer trios league I'm joining has free 3 game practice sessions 2 days a week for league bowlers. One night and one daytime.

Still a bit of a struggle to find lanes that aren't burnt a lot of the time.

I guess it depends.. Most of the places in my area are $3 a game and $2 shoe rental (if you rent shoes)

One advantage is two centers nearby offer a thing thats unlimited bowling for $5 from 1-5 on Monday-Friday which we usually take advantage of.

And those same two have the friday night and saturday night neon bowling for $1/game from 10pm-2am

Dave are you in the Louisville area? If so I'm interested to know that league. A couple buddies and I have been bowling the Executive VIP lanes Tuesday/Thursday nights just for fun but they are different every time. We'd like to join a league somewhere soon. -Travis

Yes I am. This is Hoosier strike and spare. It is moving to its new location is Clarksville In April. It is currently in New Albany.

At executive they have been trying 4 different patterns since the switch over to the new lanes. I was there Monday for the test. They were just numbered patterns, no detail at all yet on what the patterns were. Based on feedback they will be selecting a pattern to run as their new house shot
