Hathaway Hot Shot 8-ft Roll Hop and Score Arcade Game Table with LED Scoring
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Hot Shot is an 8-ft skee-ball-style arcade game where players roll semi-soft balls down the 96-in ramp and over a hop ramp into scoring rings. Electronic LED scoring tracks totals automatically. The table folds at the center — open dimensions are 96 in L x 25 in W x 55 in H; folded are 63 in L x 25 in W x 55 in H — reducing storage floor depth by 33 in. Cabinet is MDF and laminate in blue at 93 lb assembled. Ships small parcel in a single 105 lb carton.
Assembly approximately 90 minutes. Includes 6 semi-soft 2.25-in playing balls, net cage, and AC adapter. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 4 and up.
Construction
The 96-in playing lane provides a full 8-ft roll distance — the standard for skee-ball-style arcade machines. At this length, players can develop the rolling technique required to land balls in the outer high-value rings reliably, rather than the forced technique of shorter ramp alternatives.
A hop ramp at the far end of the lane launches the ball into a vertical scoring ring target — the defining mechanic that differentiates the roll-and-hop format from standard skeeball. Higher rings are smaller in diameter and worth more points; the hop angle required to reach each ring is a skill learned over repeated play.
LED scoring updates automatically when balls pass through each ring. The automatic score tracking eliminates the need for a scorekeeper and allows players to focus entirely on throw technique and ring targeting.
Scored balls return to the throwing position through a channel at the side of the ramp. The automatic return eliminates the interruption of walking to the far end to collect balls between throws — important for maintaining play rhythm during competitive sessions.
The table folds at the center hinge, reducing the floor footprint from 96-in to 63-in length. The 63-in folded length fits against a standard 6-ft wall section in a garage or utility room. A locking mechanism secures the folded position for safe vertical storage.
A net cage surrounds the scoring ring target area, containing balls that miss the rings rather than allowing them to scatter. ABS scoring rings are impact-resistant under the repeated ball contact that occurs at the ring edges during near-miss shots.
Buyer's Guide
The Hot Shot occupies a distinct product category — it is not a pool table, foosball table, or shuffleboard table. It is an arcade-style skill game that stands alongside those products in a dedicated game room. The product is appropriate for households with children ages 8+ who enjoy competitive arcade skill games, and for adults who want the novelty of a full-size skee-ball-style machine without the cost and permanent installation of a commercial arcade machine.
The fold-flat design is the critical feature for residential installation — at 96 in long when open, the Hot Shot requires a dedicated lane of floor space during use and competes directly with other game tables for room real estate. The 63-in folded footprint is manageable against a wall. At 93 lb, two people are needed to move the folded unit. At $599.99, it is priced as a secondary game room piece to complement a primary table game, not as a standalone investment. Ships small parcel at 105 lb — no freight appointment required.

Does this fold for storage?
Yes — folds at center from 96 in to 63 in length. A locking mechanism secures the folded position.
How is the table powered?
AC adapter (included). Plug into a standard household outlet.
How many balls are included?
