A simulated bowling game wherein a reflected image of fixed illuminated ten pin shaped lamps is provided. A plurality of fixed illuminated bowling pin lamps are disposed in a ten pin pattern and are each normally illuminated to produce an image representative of a bowling pin. A semi-reflective surface is positioned at an incline with respect to a bowling alley, and is further positioned in facing relationship with respect to the plurality of illuminated bowling pin lamps so that the semi-reflective surface produces an image of each of the illuminated bowling pin lamps at the other end of the bowling alley. A plurality of contacts are positioned in a predetermined pattern at a rear end of the bowling alley and are adapted to produce contact signals when contacted by the bowling ball. Control circuitry is coupled intermediate the respective contacts and each of the illuminated bowling pin lamps to receive each of the contact signals produced by the contacts when a ball is rolled toward the rear end of the alley and in response thereto is adapted to selectively deenergize certain of said illuminated bowling pins and thereby prevent same from producing a reflected illuminated image.
