nine-pin bowling
A place equipped for European-style bowling, with 9 pins arranged in a diamond pattern.
In contrast to bowling, nine-pin bowling uses a smaller and lighter ball (about 2.85 kg and 160 mm in diameter), shorter lanes, and the pins are arranged in a diamond rather than triangular pattern. A game consists of 120 throws of 4 lanes. Further specifications and rules for the game vary somewhat by region.
