A major coup for LAI Games is the purchase by US operator Dave & Buster’s of the HYPERpitch baseball-themed redemption game for all of its stores.

The arcade-bar chain has extensively tested HYPERpitch since it won an award at the AMOA trade show in the US and has decided to have it in all of its venues.

Dave & Buster’s senior director of midway operations, Pete Stearns, said: “HYPERpitch has been a solid home run for us. A fun, competitive game that delivers a unique experience for young and old alike.”

The baseball pitching game for one or two players gives three attempts each to pitch the ball at the bull's-eye in a competition matching speed with accuracy. Dynamic lights follow the ball down the tunnel with explosive sound effects.
