Sega Amusements has confirmed Putt It! Par-Tee as one of its featured attractions for IAAPA Expo 2025 in Orlando. The skill redemption game combines miniature-golf putting with the familiar target-based action of an alley roller, creating a format designed for individual play and group competition.
The announcement follows Sega’s batch announcement for several prize games. The title had previously appeared during a location test, but IAAPA 2025 will provide its official world debut.
Putt It! Par-Tee combines putting and redemption play
Players choose from six colourful characters: Zorq the Alien, Hazel the Witch, Captain Mulligan, Dimples the Clown, Unit 32 the Robot and Dr. Eagle. Each player uses a golf club to putt balls into seven scoring holes, with successful shots earning points and tickets.
When a ball is sunk, another ball automatically appears, keeping the action moving until the game clock expires. The final ten seconds introduce the Double Points Final Shot, giving players an opportunity to double the value of the closing shot and change the result at the last moment.
Individual player displays show progress, while the screen above the scoring holes presents the themed levels, character animations and game information. A top-mounted LED dot-matrix marquee also shares statistics with spectators, helping the cabinet communicate the action to people nearby.
A social arcade game for up to six players
Putt It! Par-Tee is built around competitive social play as well as its putting mechanics. Two-player cabinets support head-to-head or 2v2 rounds, while operators with sufficient space can link three twin cabinets for matches involving up to six players.
In its six-player configuration, the linked units create a substantial bank of cabinets with green, faux-grass playfields. That presentation is intended to make the game a visible attraction in busy entertainment venues, rather than a solitary redemption experience.
Sega describes the cabinet as a vibrant, cartoon-styled design with dynamic lighting and an interactive playfield. The company is positioning the game for arcades, family entertainment centres, bars, social entertainment venues and bowling centres.
IAAPA Expo 2025 details
Putt It! Par-Tee will make its world debut at Sega Amusements’ Booth 1006 at the Orange County Convention Center in Florida. IAAPA Expo runs from 18 to 21 November 2025.
Operators can find further information on Sega’s Putt It! Par-Tee product page. For readers following the wider arcade news, the game is one of several Sega Amusements attractions planned for the show.
What else is Sega showing?
Putt It! Par-Tee is not Sega Amusements’ only IAAPA 2025 appearance. Maimai DX is also confirmed for the event after its official US debut at Amusement Expo in March.
Trade-magazine previews have additionally indicated that a new cabinet model for a legendary Sega racing franchise may be present. Sega had not officially announced that machine at the time of this report, so further details remain unconfirmed.
For operators assessing entertainment equipment, the game’s linked multiplayer format and substantial footprint are important considerations. Businesses comparing cabinet layouts can also review RETROCADE’s arcade machine buying guide and browse the wider arcade machine range for different venue requirements.
