Reply to comment by sammer003 in TIL: 5 pin bowling was invented in Canada - and is mostly only played in Canada by sammer003

Place I worked at had a bowling alley and the computer could be set to 9, 8 and 7 pin along with two other games like tic tac toe or something. I’d inquire at your local alley, it’s just a setting on the computer in my case. Good luck :)

TIL: This

It seems like if it a system has this option that a clever alley operator could exploit this to add games to bring in casuals to try other bowling games, and hard-core fans of the other versions. I might actually bowl or bowl longer if we could play more than one version of bowling.
