Bankshot Shuffleboard

From £20 per hour

Get ready for a lively night with bank shot shuffleboard – a cool twist on the classic game that adds an extra challenge. Just like regular shuffleboard, the goal is to slide your puck into your opponent’s area without it falling off. With bank shot shuffleboard, you’ll need some serious precision – bounce the pucks off the backboard of the table to the other side. Be the first to hit fifteen points without overshooting and you’re the winner!

how to play BANK SHOT SHUFFLEBOARD

Bank shot shuffleboard is a fun yet easy to pick up game – the rules are simple but by following our guidelines you’ll be the master of the board and have a puckin’ great time playing! So slide your way to success with ballin’ Roxy gaming tips… 

1. Assemble your Team!

  • You can play shuffleboard in singles or doubles. Choose what colour pucks you want to play with – either red or blue – and if you’re playing in singles then you play with all four discs, and if you’re playing in double you share and play in turns with two pucks each.

 

2. Get Sliding!

  • All players start at the same side of the table – whether you’re playing singles or doubles.
  • Make sure your scoring board (above the table) is set to 0-0 scoring.
  • Now take turns sliding your pucks to the opposite side, ricocheting the pucks so they hit the top of the table and land within the opposite side scoring areas – from 1-4.
  • Finding the right force to slide the pucks with will take a few turns to get used to! The trick is to slide it hard enough that you land within the scoring areas, but not so hard they fly off the board (no points for any pucks off the table!).

 

3. Scoring

  • The closer your puck lands to the opposite side without falling off the table, the more points you score.
  • Ballin’ players play with tactics – this includes knocking their opponent’s discs off the table or blocking the discs into lower scoring areas.
  • Once all players have played their pucks, add up the awarded points for that go and add the number to your scoring board.

 

4. Winning the Game

The winner is the first player or team to achieve 15 points! Bank shot shuffleboard adds an extra layer of strategy and skill to the classic game, making it a fun and challenging option for players of all ages!

BANK SHOT SHUFFLEBOARD FAQS

The basic rules involve players sliding weighted across the table, aiming to land them in scoring zones while also trying to knock their opponent’s pucks off the board. Points are tallied based on where the pucks end up at the end of each round – the first player/team to reach 15 points wins the game.

The sand, or shuffleboard wax, is applied to the playing surface to reduce friction, allowing the pucks to glide smoothly. It adds an element of control and strategy to the game, as players adjust their shots based on the speed and direction of the pucks.

Bank shot shuffleboard involves using the sides of the squatter table to ricochet pucks into scoring areas, adding an extra layer of skill and precision to the game. However, in traditional shuffleboard, players aim to land their pucks directly in scoring zones on a longer table. At Roxy we have both bank shot shuffleboard and shuffleboard to choose from, depending on the venue. Learn more about shuffleboard here.

To win at bank shot shuffleboard, focus on mastering the angles and rebounds off the edges of the board to strategically place your pucks in high-scoring zones. Aim to bank your pucks off the edges with precision while also preventing your opponent from doing the same. Lastly, keep an eye on your opponent’s moves and adjust your strategy accordingly to stay one step ahead.

Absolutely! Bank shot shuffleboard is a game that people of all ages can enjoy. It’s easy to learn – making it a great option for families or group of mixed ages. Please note- we do not allow under 18s in our Roxy Ball Room venues that have bank shot shuffleboard. Roxy Lanes venues welcomes under 18s (accompanied by an adult) until 5pm or 7pm depending on the day and venue.
