PUTT! makes crazy golf coin-op cut
Crazy Golf makes a most vibrant pitch on the amusement/redemption fairway with the arrival in Europe of Chicago Gaming Company's PUTT! Championship Edition, distributed exclusively by Brent Sales/Namco Europe.
Debuting at London's Preview exhibition in October, PUTT! uses a real putter and ball to make the seamless transition between real play and video-based simulation. Players strike the ball, whose aim and speed are transferred to a virtual trajectory on a 32-inch HD LCD screen, angled upwards from floor level for optimal playing position. Up to four players can compete across two creatively themed nine-hole 3-D miniature golf courses, with further testing challenges currently under development for future upgrades. Available in ticket redemption and amusement-only formats, PUTT!'s small footprint, measuring just 1.4m wide by 1.7m deep, accommodates both right- and left-handed putters, whilst the competitive theme and broad appeal to players of all ages and abilities make it suitable for a wide range of locations. |
