  • Patent number: 6319142
    Abstract: A bowling game enhances the traditional scoring of a strike or a spare when the bowler is able to time the rolling of the ball by a preselected location on the lane with a preselected location of an image being scanned transversely across the lane. The game uses a laser beam for illuminating a series of images in the form of spots of light, and in a sequencing fashion, moves the spots of light across the lane for viewing by the bowler during the rolling of the bowling ball towards standing pins. A sensor is positioned at a preselected location along side the lane for determining when the ball reaches the predetermined location. A processor provides an enhanced scoring to the otherwise traditional scoring when the ball reaches the preselected location at the same time a particular preselected spot of light reaches a particular location on the lane.
