Home Skee Ball Machines vs. Arcade Skee Ball Machines
There are two distinct variants of Skee Ball tables available: Home Skee Ball Machines and Arcade Skee Ball Machines, and each has unique characteristics that cater to different settings and uses.
Home Skee Ball machines have more subdue styling, while Arcade Skee Ball Machines are more visually similar to the lanes in professional arcades.

Home Skee Ball Machines
Home Skee Ball Machines embody the same fundamental game play mechanics, as well as the basic aesthetic of the classic Skee Ball tables you remember from boardwalks and carnivals, but in a smaller, “home friendly” package.
The result is a sturdy machine that not only integrates flawlessly into any home décor, but also infuses an element of vibrancy and fun into any space.

Arcade Skee Ball Machines
Arcade Skee Ball Machines are truer to the professional Skee Ball Machines found in arcades, and are renowned for their robust and unique designs that have enchanted players for more than a century.
These machines are constructed to withstand continuous, intensive play while retaining their functionality and aesthetic allure.
Two such Arcade Skee Ball Machines are the Skee Ball “Glow,” and the Skee Ball “Premium”.
