Gaming News Wednesday, October 10, 2018 8 Making Room for Bowling Just Got Easier Keeping offerings fresh is a challenge in and of itself, but as more and more casino resorts look to diversify their entertain- ment options, finding an attraction that can also generate impressive revenue and value makes the task even more daunting. That's where bowling comes in. Although it's one of mankind's oldest sports, the game is far from feeling its age. With the integration of modern technolo- gy, guests are experiencing bowling like never before. Today's centers are far from the dingy alleys of the past. Instead, high- quality interior design and furniture offer- ings, interactive games with stunning HD graphics and premium food and beverage pairings are making bowling centers the hot hangout spot for guests of all ages. The draw of bowling for casinos is multifaceted. Not only does adding bowl- ing as an anchor attraction create revenue streams and offer better-than-average returns on investments, but casinos can expect to keep guests entertained and on campus longer while also attracting new demographics. And that's not all – bowl- ing is an exceptional amenity for mem- bers of the local tribal community to enjoy with family and friends. With so many benefits directly related to the bowling addition, the only thing that gives many casino resort owners or investors pause is limited available space. Not every facility can accommodate tradi- tional bowling equipment. Understanding that this roadblock was keeping many out of the bowling business, Brunswick Bowling introduced a solution: Epicenter™. Epicenter by Brunswick is an authentic bowling experience that has been adapted from traditional bowling. No arcade or mini- bowling here. By using reduced lane length and a compact StringPin™ pinsetter, this configuration is the real deal, providing all the fun, technology and customization options without the space commitment required by traditional bowling. When customers choose Epicenter, they have the opportu- nity to customize their synthetic lanes, design enticing spaces with Center Stage™ furniture and take advantage of Brunswick's Sync™ Scoring and Management System. Bowling – it's a game that virtually everyone enjoys and now, one every business can take part in.
