HOME ARCADE PREMIUM + Manual Version 1.7
OWNERS MANUAL
Hey, Read This! The Skee-Ball Home Arcade Premium + is made from flammable materials. Do not install this game in a place near open flames or hot surfaces. Also, don't put it under falling anvils.
This game contains electrical components. Be sure to routinely inspect wires and couplings for damage.
IMPORTANT: Only plug this game into a proper 120V 3-prong, grounded outlet.
Do not attempt to modify this game's wiring or circuitry in any way.
This game should be assembled by two (2) or more adults, but not more than ten. That would be a lot. You'd be stepping on each other's feet and... Yeah, two is enough.
Don't try to be a tough guy, because this game weighs approximately 24 5 pounds when fully assembled. Four (4) or more adults must be involved when moving the assembled game.
CAUTION: The game cabinet pieces may tip over. Ensure that the game is assembled and operated on a level surface that can support its weight.
Do not climb, sit or stand on the game. Feel free to dance next to it, just not on top of it.
Adults must carefully supervise children who are using this game. We believe the children are our future.
This game is intended for indoor use only. So, don't take it fishing.
Do not place liquids or beverages on the game. Also, don't feed it after midnight.

By 1915 Skee-Ball® tournaments had became extremely popular, particularly in the Philadelphia area, with both men’s and women’s teams.
In 1932 the first national Skee-Ball® tournament was held at Layman Sternbergh’s Skee- Ball® Stadium, in Atlantic, NJ. Over one-hundred players qualified from around the country with the top prize of $1,000, an enormous sum of money at the time!
In 1960, the automatic ticket dispenser, was added to Skee-Ball® games.
From the 1980's onward, Skee-Ball® games have been a staple in national family entertainment chains like Chuck E. Cheese.
In 2016, Bay Tek Entertainment, a long time builder of arcade games, acquired Skee-Ball, Inc. and moved production to the small town of Pulaski, Wisconsin.
Skee-Ball® is truly an American classic!
