Sixteen years after Silver Strike Live, Incredible Technologies has returned to virtual bowling with Silver Strike: League Night. The sequel is now shipping to interested buyers, offering operators a modern bowling title with a compact cabinet and a broad selection of competitive and casual modes.
The Silver Strike: League Night cabinet
Silver Strike: League Night was first shown at IAAPA 2025. It uses Incredible Technologies’ Showcase pedestal cabinet, combining a trackball controller with a 5-inch touchscreen and NFC reader. The display is a 55-inch 4K television mounted vertically, marking the first time this cabinet range has used portrait orientation rather than a horizontal screen.
The vertical layout helps keep the footprint compact, while the pricing places the machine below both the $10,000 and $5,000 thresholds. That makes it a potentially accessible option for operators considering a new arcade machine for a venue.
The stated MSRP is $4,795, plus shipping and sales tax. The monitor stand costs an additional $300. Test results have also been encouraging, with It’s also been performing well on test, which may help the machine recoup its cost quickly in a suitable location.
That price will be of interest to operators facing the increasingly difficult economics of arcade games priced above $20,000. The machine could appeal to arcade bars, bowling-focused venues and arcades looking to broaden their game mix.

Bowling gameplay and physics
The core control scheme remains familiar: players use the trackball to aim and deliver the ball. Incredible Technologies has built on the established Silver Strike formula with more realistic physics, including gravity, ball spin and pin behaviour.
The development team worked with Storm Bowling, a major bowling-equipment manufacturer, to refine the details of the virtual experience. The result is intended to make ball movement and pin action feel more authentic while retaining the accessible controls expected from an arcade bowling game.
