Full coverage across six lanes through a scalable dual-lane kit architecture
Centralized control of themes, branding, and promotional content

What We Delivered

Ball-Responsive Lane Projections

Real-time ball tracking brings each lane to life, triggering dynamic animations that follow every throw and turn a regular game into something players want to keep coming back for.

Scan-to-Select Lane Themes
