nine-pin bowling

A place equipped for European-style bowling, with 9 pins arranged in a diamond pattern.

A nine-pin bowling alley is a place designated for European-style bowling with 9 pins, and equipped with lanes suitable for this sport. The game involves rolling a plastic or wooden ball down a narrow lane to knock over as many as possible of the 9 pins arranged at the far end.

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.
