Interview with the Viking Arena Team
1. Why did you decide to go with the Duckpin model for your center in Puerto Rico?
The Duckpin concept fit perfectly with our restaurant and bar. We were looking to offer an attractive form of entertainment for adults that would complement the dining experience and keep customers engaged while enjoying their food and drinks.
2. What advantages would you highlight after installation (space, user experience, ease of use, etc.)?
What we value most is the positive impact on our venue’s layout. It’s a light, easy-to-use attraction that appeals to groups of all sizes. It doesn’t take long to play and is a lot of fun, which increases customer satisfaction.
3. What kind of audience is enjoying the lanes the most? Families, young people, events...?
Our goal was to mainly attract young adults, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised to see lots of kids enjoying the games too—they’re having a blast.
4. How do you rate the installation process and the collaboration with our team?
The process was very efficient. Within just a few days, the attraction was up and running. In two more days, our staff was trained in usage and maintenance, which made the integration much smoother.
5. Would you recommend this type of lane to other operators in Latin America or the Caribbean? Why?
Absolutely. I would especially recommend Duckpin to entertainment centers, restaurants, and bars. Having this kind of attraction boosts food and beverage sales, and customers tend to stay longer after playing—which directly benefits business.

How many lanes does it take to open a bowling alley?
There's no strict rule on the number of lanes required to open a bowling alley. It depends on your business goals and target market.
Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
- Small niche alleys: Some bowling alleys might focus on a specific audience, like a boutique bowling alley with just a few lanes catering to a high-end clientele. They might have other revenue streams besides just bowling, like a fancy restaurant or bar.
- Traditional bowling alleys: These typically have many lanes, often around 8 to 24 lanes , to accommodate a larger number of bowlers and maximize revenue through lane rentals.
- Mini bowling: Certain alleys might offer mini bowling, which uses lighter balls and shorter lanes. This could be a good option for a family entertainment center and wouldn't require a large number of standard lanes.
Ultimately, the number of lanes is a business decision based on your target market, budget, and the overall experience you want to create.
