Enjoy the best online bowling games at Kizi and knock down every pin

Bowling Online 3d

Bowling is a popular game you can enjoy with a big group of friends. As a target sport, it is also played competitively. Are you good at bowling? With these online bowling games, you can perfect your aim. Booking a bowling lane at the bowling alley costs money, but at Kizi, you can enjoy free play for as long as you like. Select a bowling ball and roll it across the smooth wooden floor of the bowling alley. Try to strike down the pins placed at the end of the lane. The ball is not big enough to hit every single pin, so you’ll have to bowl the ball hard enough to make the pins slam into each other. If you knock down all of the pins with a single roll, you score a “strike”. If you knock down all the pins on your second roll, this is called a “spare”. Depending on your subsequent rolls, you can add a lot of bonus points to your score by throwing a strike or a spare!

Free bowling games with 10 pins or 5 pins

The most popular version of bowling is Ten-Pin Bowling. This version is played with a fairly large ball and ten large pins. You get two rolls per frame (turn), and per game the standard amount of frames is ten. Most online bowling games are based on ten-pin bowling. Five-Pin Bowling is a simplified version of the ten-pin game, and you’re most likely to come across this variation in Canada, where it was invented to make the game easier to play. This game uses five smaller pins and a smaller ball made of hard rubber. While the ten-pin ball has three finger-holes, the five-pin ball has either no holes or only a single hole for the player’s thumb.

Play more difficult variations on bowling games

Another popular variation played in parts of America is Duckpin Bowling. Duckpins are shorter and fatter than regular pins, and the ball is smaller as well – only slightly bigger than a softball. Rather than two rolls per frame, players get three rolls in this bowling variation. Candlepin is another bowling variation played with three rolls per frame. Players use an even smaller ball, but the pins are much taller and slimmer. This makes it very hard to bowl a strike in Candlepin bowling. In this game, fallen pins are not cleared away between rolls. Candlepin is played in some Canadian provinces and in New England. Have you tried every bowling variation there is? Each game brings its own unique challenges. Broaden your bowling horizons and try them all!

There are 10 bowling pins standing up. You will try and knock down these bowling pins
with the bowling ball. The pins are numbered 1 through 10 and are standing in the form
of a triangle. The pin in the front is numbered pin #1. From front to back and then left
to right they are all numbered. For example - the pins in the back row are
numbered 7, 8, 9 and 10

The Game
The game consists of 10 frames of bowling.
A frame is an opportunity for the bowler to try and knock down all 10 pins with up to
2 chances (2 rolls of a bowling ball) per frame.

Scoring
A strike (X) is when the bowler knocked down all 10 pins on the first
try. (i.e. the first ball rolled). Since it's a strike there is no need to
roll the ball for a second try for that frame! A spare (/) is when the bowler
knocked down less than 10 pins with the first try (the first ball rolled) but
knocked down the remaining pins with the second ball for a total of 10 pins
knocked down for that frame.
The maximum score for a game = 300

Examples of scoring
Take a simple game where you have no strikes and no spares. You just
throw 2 balls per frame knocking down 5 on your first ball and 3 on your second
ball. And.. by chance you do this for all 10 frames of the game. So... each frame
would be worth 8 points for a grand total score of 80 for the whole game

Let's hope you are a bit better than that and get a strike.
Strikes are worth more and are a little more complicated to score
The rule for a strike score is as follows: The score for the strike
frame = 10 plus the total of the next TWO BALLS THROWN plus the previous
frame score. What??

Say you have the following scores
frame #1 = 8 (you rolled two balls but only knocked down 8 pins)
frame #2 = X (strike!) You knocked down all 10 pins with the first ball)
frame #3 (ball 1) = 7 pins knocked down and ball 2 = (only 1 more pin knocked down)
Your score for frame #1 = 8
Your score for frame #2
= 10 + frame3(ball1) + frame3(ball2) + frame #1 score
= 10 + 7 + 1 + 8
= 26 (this is the score you write down in the frame #2 box)
Your score for frame 3 is just simple
math or frame 2 + frame 3 = 34 (the score written in frame #3 box)
Remember you can't compute frame 2's score UNTIL you have thrown
TWO more balls (in frame 3)!!!
Try this on the calculator and watch the scores appear.

Now you get a spare
Spares are almost the same as strikes except they are worth 10 points plus
the value of the next ball thrown. What??
Continue with frame #4
frame #4 you roll ball 1 and knock down 5 pins so ball 1 = 5
on your second ball for Frame #4 you knock down the remaining
pins ball2 = 5 (all pins knocked down - 2 balls spare!)
you can't total frame 4 yet because you need the value of your next ball
in upcoming frame#5
Say in frame #5 you roll your ball and knock down 8 pins on the
first roll. Ball 1 in Frame # 5 = 8 Now we can determine Frame #4s score.
Now frame #4 score
= 10 + frame 5(ball 1 value) + the score total in frame#3
= 10 + 8 + 34
= 52
Continuing on you roll your second ball in Frame#5 and you knock
down 1 more pin. So the total score for frame #5 will be:
frame #5 score = 52 (from frame#4) + 9 from frame #5 total = 61
Try this on the calculator and watch the scores appear.

Another tricky part is the 10th frame
if you get a strike on your FIRST ball - you must throw TWO more balls
so you can compute the 10th frame score. (If these balls are strikes
also, they only count as 10 each. They are just needed to get your next
ball values.) You get a spare by a combination of your first and
your SECOND ball you must throw a third ball to compute the spare equation.
YOU ONLY THROW UP TO 3 balls in the 10th frame.
