Our 4-player portable roll-a-ball derby games capture the excitement of the fairground in a portable, event-ready format. Classic themes such as the Kentucky Derby and Donkey Derby remain favourites, and each system is designed for speed, reliability, and ease of use. Packed into a single transportable unit, the game can be moved in a small van and assembled on-site in under fifteen minutes by just one person. This makes it a practical and high-impact choice for event hire companies, brand activations, and promotional agencies that need crowd-pleasing entertainment without complicated logistics.
For smaller events or where space is limited, we also offer the Roll and Bowl Lite, a compact 2-player roll-a-ball system. Housed in an integrated flight case with castor wheels, the Lite is designed to be ultra-portable, with setup taking less than five minutes. Despite its compact footprint, it delivers the same competitive gameplay as larger systems, complete with integrated lighting, sound effects, and quick-change branding panels for maximum promotional flexibility.
At the other end of the scale, our fixed installation roll-a-ball derby games are custom-built for permanent venues such as arcades, fairgrounds, family attractions, and leisure centres. These large-scale systems can be manufactured with anywhere from 4 to 16 playing positions, each tailored to suit the space, theme, and branding of the venue. With custom artwork, durable construction, and fully integrated lighting and audio, these installations become long-term centrepieces that keep players coming back.
Whether you choose the compact 2-player Roll and Bowl Lite, the linkable 4-player or 8-player portable systems, or a 16-lane installation for a busy attraction, every roll-and-bowl game we manufacture is built to be durable, customisable, and engaging. From exhibitions and touring promotions to permanent arcade installations, our roll-a-ball derby systems are proven to deliver interactive fun, brand visibility, and a real sense of competitive excitement.
Themes on the roll and bowl systems can be changed in just a couple of minutes without the need for any tools with removable playfields, replacement backboards, characters, waves and game skirts. Audio can be quickly changed with the supplied USB sticks and audio packs.
We can supply replacement panels and branding with full template packs and fast turn around thanks to our in house print and graphics department. Full details of replacement theme packs as well as individual panels, skirts and audio can be found in our roll and bowl pricing here.

Our flagship 4-player roll-a-ball derby game has been designed to offer the perfect balance of flexibility, portability, and ease of use. It can be host-operated or self-operated, with an automatic reset and a simple one-button start that ensures smooth, uninterrupted gameplay. This makes it a practical and crowd-pleasing choice for event hire companies, exhibitions, and brand activations where reliability and fast setup are essential.
Every detail of the system has been created with portability in mind. The complete unit is built into durable wheeled flight cases with integrated folding table legs, allowing a single operator to transport, set up, and run the game with minimal effort. When in use, the case lids store neatly underneath the unit, removing the need for off-site storage and keeping the setup area tidy.
Each roll-a-ball system is supplied ready to operate, complete with integrated speakers for immersive sound effects, robust protective casing for safe transport, and a choice of themed playfields such as Kentucky Derby, Donkey Derby, or custom branded designs. For operators looking for variety, additional theme sets can be swapped in quickly to keep the game fresh across different events.
While the 4-player system is our most popular portable model, we also manufacture linked roll-a-ball derby games for up to 8 players, as well as permanent roll-and-bowl installations for arcades, theme parks, and attractions, with anywhere from 4 to 16 racing lanes. These larger systems provide the same exciting gameplay on a grander scale, making them powerful centrepieces for high-footfall venues.
Whether you are searching for a portable roll-a-ball derby machine for events or a large-scale installation for your venue, our UK-built Roll and Bowl systems deliver competitive fun, durable construction, and maximum audience impact.

Our 4 & 8 player roll a ball systems are super compact and are supplied fully flight cased, set up takes just 15 mins thanks to the careful design minimising built up, integrated legs and even the ability to store the case lids under the system during use.
