Real Balls. Real Paddles. Real Business.
Your lanes are still the main event. Playkout adds another reason to stay. This interactive pickleball simulator brings physical play, digital games, and social competition into a compact footprint that fits alongside your existing entertainment mix—giving guests one more way to play, compete, and connect, and giving your center a new revenue stream without taking space or attention from what already works.
A GAME LIBRARY THAT KEEPS GROUPS ON-SITE LONGER
With 15+ games spanning Play, Compete, Challenge, and Train, Playkout gives guests a reason to extend their visit — before their lanes are ready, after the last frame, or as a break in between. More variety means longer dwell time, more food and beverage spend, and another attraction working for you between league blocks and peak weekend hours.
EVENT PACKAGES THAT GO FURTHER
Bowl + Dink + Eat + Drink + Celebrate. Playkout slots into the events your center already runs—birthdays, corporate groups, team building, private parties, and tournaments—as an add-on that increases package value instead of replacing what's already there. Groups get a second activity; you get a higher per-head rate on bookings you're already taking.
YOUR VENUE. YOUR REVENUE.
Whether you run a bowling center, an FEC, or a hybrid entertainment venue, Playkout complements your existing attractions. Bay rentals, private event bookings, and recurring leaderboard competitions each open a separate revenue line—all from a footprint that fits your existing floor plan, not against it.
BUILT TO FIT YOUR FLOOR
Playkout installs in a compact footprint designed to fit in spaces you already have—an underused corner, a former attraction bay, or an area adjacent to your lanes or arcade—with real dimensions, real installations, and a layout that fits the entertainment mix you've already built. Custom branding is available so the unit looks like part of your center.
Three Ways to Win, One Platform.
$20–$50/hr Bay Rentals
Charge per hour per group for access to your Playkout bay. Multiple groups can play simultaneously, multiplying your hourly yield from a single installation footprint.
$300–$400/hr Corporate & Private Events
Book the full system for private parties, corporate team-building, and league nights. Premium event pricing per hour unlocks your highest-margin revenue tier.
Weekly E-Tournaments & Competitions
Drive repeat visits with weekly leaderboard competitions. Players pay entry fees, return for rankings, and bring friends—creating a built-in retention engine at no extra cost.
What Industry Leaders Are Saying
-
The Playkout Pickleball Simulator is an interactive pickleball attraction that lets guests play with real paddles and real balls against a digital screen. A ball feeder delivers shots to the player, ball-tracking technology records every hit, and players compete across a library of 15+ arcade-style games spanning casual play, competition, challenges, and training. It's designed for bowling centers, family entertainment centers, and hybrid venues that want an active attraction in a compact space. Brunswick offers Playkout as a complementary addition to your existing entertainment mix.

Playkout installs in a compact footprint that fits in spaces most centers already have — an underused corner, a former attraction bay, or an area adjacent to lanes or the arcade. Because it doesn't require a regulation court, it takes approximately 150 square feet per bay, compared to the space a real pickleball court would require.
-
Centers typically generate revenue in three ways: hourly bay rentals, private and corporate event bookings, and recurring tournaments or leaderboard competitions. Playkout publishes rate ranges of $20–$50 per hour for open play and $300–$400 per hour for private events. In practice, one operating center in the Dallas–Fort Worth market charges $35 per hour on weekdays and $45 on weekends. The strongest returns usually come from event packages, where the simulator becomes an add-on that raises the per-head value of bookings a center is already taking.
-
No — it's designed to complement lanes rather than replace them. Guests use it while waiting for a lane, as a break between games, or as a second activity inside an event package. For centers running leagues, it gives open-play guests somewhere to go during blocked lane time. The goal is longer dwell time and higher spend per visit, not redirecting traffic away from bowling.
-
Yes. Playkout offers custom branding, so the unit carries your center's logo and colors on every side, making it feel like part of your venue rather than a third-party machine.
