skeeball
Arcade lane game
Skeeball is an arcade game where players roll balls up an inclined lane, aiming for holes of different point values at the far end.
The game awards tickets based on score, redeemable for prizes.
A fixture of boardwalks and arcades since the early twentieth century: We blew twenty dollars on skeeball trying to win a stuffed animal.
Also spelled skee-ball.
