Connect 4 Hoops
Connect 4 Basketball Arcade Game
Connect 4 Hoops is the supersized, high-energy fusion of two all-time classics: the strategic gameplay of Hasbro's Connect 4 and the fast-paced action of arcade basketball. This massive, eye-catching cabinet stands as a centerpiece in any game room, challenging players to use their shooting skills to execute a winning strategy.
The objective is simple but addictive: shoot baskets to drop colored checkers into the massive vertical grid. Just like the original tabletop game, the first player to align four of their colored checkers in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—wins the game.

- Massive Visual Impact: Standing at nearly 10 feet tall with vibrant LED lighting and a high-definition 65-inch monitor, this game commands attention from across the floor.

Connect 4 Hoops Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many players can play at once?
Connect 4 Hoops is designed for 1 or 2 players. In two-player mode, it's a head-to-head race. In single-player mode, the player competes against a computer-controlled opponent with adjustable difficulty levels.
What size basketballs does the game use?
The game uses 7-inch rubber basketballs. Using the correct size and weight is essential for the internal sensors to accurately track and "drop" the virtual checkers into the grid.
Does the game dispense tickets?
Yes, the game is ticket redemption ready. It can be configured for physical ticket dispensers or e-tickets (card swipe systems). Operators can adjust payout settings based on winning, losing, or bonus rounds.
Is it difficult to assemble?
Because of its size, the game ships in multiple sections (usually 3–4 pallets). It requires at least two people (four is recommended for the back section) and approximately 2–3 hours for full assembly. Note that you need extra ceiling clearance (roughly 141" for the Standard model) to tip the backboard into an upright position.
Can this game be used in a home game room?
While designed for commercial use, many enthusiasts install them in home game rooms. However, ensure your floor can support the 1,200 to 1,900 lb weight and that your ceiling height meets the minimum requirements.
How long does Bay Tek provide parts support?
Bay Tek is industry-renowned for its support, typically providing parts for 10 years after a game title has been discontinued.
What is the minimum ceiling height required for installation?
For the Standard Model, you need at least 141" (11' 9") of clearance to safely pivot the backboard into place during assembly. For the HD Model, a standard 10-foot ceiling is sufficient.
Can this game be moved through a standard double door?
The sections are designed to be moved individually. The widest component for the Standard model is the Console at 46" wide, which fits through standard commercial double doors. The HD model's widest section is 54", also requiring double doors.
Does it come with basketballs?
Yes, both models typically include a set of 5 to 6 color-coded 7-inch basketballs. It is recommended to only use official Bay Tek replacements to ensure the sensors and ball-return mechanisms function correctly.
How does the "Augmented Reality" aspect work?
The game uses high-speed infrared sensors located in the hoops. When a physical ball passes through, the software instantly "drops" a virtual checker of the same color into the LED or HD grid on the backboard.
Is there a warranty included?
Bay Tek Entertainment generally provides a one-year limited warranty on the electronics and a 90-day warranty on high-wear mechanical parts.
