One thing that helps no matter the circumstances is front spin. We don’t recommend wasting your money on it, but if you’re feeling froggy and want to jump, here’s your safest technique:īecause this game varies from spot to spot (different board heights, ball weights, and board tilt), it’s tough to recommend exactly what you should do. If the game sounds impossibly difficult, it’s because it is. It will bounce off the roof, hit the bottom, bounce into the back, and hopefully won’t have enough momentum to bounce back out.įlukey Ball is a lot like the Ball-In-Basket, except instead of throwing a ball directly into the basket, you have to bounce it off of a screen right above the basket. Another way is a little more difficult, and involves tossing the ball toward the roof of the basket. You can also put some counter-spin on the ball to drastically slow it down when it makes contact with the basket. Gently lob the ball into the left or right side of the basket, gently enough so that it rolls down the side without hitting the bottom and bouncing out. The first one is using the edges of the basket to slow the ball down and cradle its way in. To win, you can do one of a couple different things. The biggest mistake rookies make is throwing the ball head on into the basket. Once you get the technique down, you’ll be able to sink any basket on the planet.
The Ball-In-Basket game takes some basic skill and some understanding of physics. There is probably no boardwalk game on the planet more infuriating than the old Ball-In-Basket. A well-placed, precise shot that lands square, level, and center has a way better chance of knocking the bell than a blind smash, even if there’s more force behind it. When you come down on the pad with the mallet, make sure you’re swinging through it-don’t focus on hitting the pad, but rather the floor underneath it. Keep your shoulders square with your feet and perpendicular to the pad. The trick with this one is to focus on the direct center of the pad. We love this boardwalk game because, contrary to popular belief, it’s less about strength, and more about skill, accuracy, and discipline. With enough spin and a horizontal trajectory, the ring may very well get hooked on one bottle then bounce off onto another. Just pretend each ring is a little Frisbee. Try to put a little spin on them and toss them low and horizontally.
Don’t flip the rings like coins, and don’t lob them onto the board.

The odds of winning-even when you know how to play-are pretty slim. It’s in the bag, baby! In actuality, you’ll notice the prizes at the ring toss booth are usually the most valuable ones in the boardwalk, because it’s probably one of the most difficult games there. It seems easy, right? Toss a ring into a plain of bottlenecks, drop it over a bottle, and win a huge prize. This one isn’t rocket science, but does take accuracy, force, and a little skill to identify the weak spot. The idea should be to identify the weak point-usually right between the bottom two bottles-and then send a fast and heavy one right between them. Sometimes, they’ll arrange the bottles in a way that makes them slightly off-keel or separated. Aiming for the top bottle won’t do anything for the bottom two, and aiming for all three (a perfect center shot) might not carry enough force to knock the two bottom bottles over. The lightest bottle is on the top, and the two heavy ones are on the bottom. The trick here is that, most of the time, the bottles are weighted differently. It looks easy peasy, but takes some real, actual skill to take down. One of the oldest boardwalk games in the history of boardwalk games, Milk Bottles has lined the pockets of arcade workers since day one. Here’s how to beat all those rigged boardwalk games: You turn to leave, and the guy asks, “But wait, how’d you do it!?” You look at him and say, “I read something on Cool Material.” He yells, “I don’t believe it!” Laughing, you collect your prize, hand it to your girlfriend, smack the carny, and yell “SHOTS FOR EVERYONE!” You’re not at a bar, but it’s the thought that counts. Looking him dead in the eye, you take the first bag and obliterate the pyramid. Smirking, he hands you three hefty beanbags. You walk up, throw five bucks on the table, and tell the guy to give you some bags. Their girlfriends look on, each more broken hearted than the last. Mesmerized, you watch schlub after schlub tossing beanbags into a stack of milk bottles, trying to knock it down, never quite getting it. Like a beacon in the night, a bright booth, lit by a flashing phrase. Something like, “Knock ‘Em Down, Win A Prize!” The portly fellow standing in front of it beckons you to come closer and try your luck.
You’re walking around the boardwalk, poundin’ down some vinegar fries, and suddenly, you see it.
