VB's ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE

The project of a lifetime!  VB’s Entertainment Centre is more than 16 tenpin lanes.  It is a place where fun is guaranteed for all: customised glow-in-the-dark minigolf, play zone for kids, golf simulator, arcades, restaurant, bar and six-lane lounge.  What do you think about that?

The whole project has the QubicaAMF signature on it.  First, let’s talk about the lanes.  The EDGE String pinspotters are a sure bet because they provide substantial savings in terms of labour, parts and electricity.  In addition, they are of impeccable quality and safety.

The synthetic SPL Select lanes were chosen.  Their look reminds us of the maple and pine lanes.

The DuraBowl bumpers are in a class of their own as each player can decide whether they want them to be activated or not.  So, we imagine seeing them up for the children, but down for the parents.

Cosmic bowling is going "extreme" with the CenterPunch lighting system.  The deck lights and capping lights are intelligent as they are configured and programmed in Conqueror.  They can react a certain way depending on the result down the lane and they provide a mood to the centre.  Plus, the Colour Splash light system was added to the ceiling of the lanes and minigolf.

In terms of interior decoration, there is a touch of “Harmony” everywhere you look: ball returns, coffee tables, storage spaces and high tables.  And, the proprietors decided to offer to their customers absolute comfort with the Infinity sofas.  Their robust design is time-tested and they are easy to clean and sanitise.

On the computer side, the Conqueror X management system was installed on every of the four front desk computers.  To work from home at times, a remote licence was purchased to install on a personal computer.  This can also prevent driving to the bowling centre if a problem occurs.

Two QPads were bought too to help the servers to take orders.  The QPads are light and portable and they have the same functions as a full terminal.  The orders are sent directly to the lanes, kitchen or bar counter.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the BES X Ultimate scoring and management system was chosen.  There is something for everyone: 15 environments, 11 special games, eight Classic and Skills games and four Mad Games.  To access all this content at the lanes, the SuperTouch consoles were installed.  They are very intuitive, because they resemble the tablets we use every day.

Then, to present as much content as possible on all the screens at the four corners of this centre, the GEFEN signal distribution solution was installed.  The content can vary from one monitor to the other.  It can be a TV channel or an advertising playlist made in Conqueror thanks to its multimedia system.

Lexer is now the software used to manage the leagues and tournaments.

Finally, since this facility was built from the ground up, new Smart Ball house balls were bought.  They are of high quality, have a two-year warranty and prevent bowlers from unfortunate injuries that other house balls can cause.

The lane machine was also changed.  The proprietors went for the Kegel Ikon.  This machine can store up to 15 lane patterns.  It utilises a sprayless cleaning system that prevents overspraying in the gutters.  Its on-board PLC can be connected to the Wi-Fi which allows you to control it remotely.

This centre is certainly one of the Top 3 greatest achievements in Buffa Distribution’s modern history.  We strongly encourage you to visit this centre to see its magnificence.  Allow yourselves several hours, because there is so much to discover and enjoy.
