Furthermore, it utilizes a computerized automatic scorekeeper system exactly like 10 pin bowling. The scoring and rules are also the same.
The system has been shown in trade shows in the U.S. and Korea with overwhelming response. Men, women, and children alike queue up to experience the new invention. The game is so simple and easy to play like wise for Bowling that need skill as well as tackling learning curve. Anyone who has ever seen or tried billiards played knows how to start learning or playing the game, yet the rules are that of bowling.
