Abstract
This invention is a table type game that requires both billiard skills and bowling skills to play. Scaled down bowling lanes, gutters, pins and approach are provided. The scaled down bowling balls are regulation size billiard balls that are struck and driven by regulation size billiard cues. The approach is covered with a billiard table type felt material and is raised approximately ¼ inch above the lane to allow the billiard balls to replicate the sounds of a bowling alley during play. Standard bowling scoring is used.

A miniature billiard bowling game, comprising:
- a support member including elevating means for carrying said support member above floor level;
- a first lane assembly horizontally carried on said support member including an elongated rectangular planar sheet replicating a bowling lane of reduced scale, said sheet having location indicia at the rear end thereof, said indicia replicating the orientation of a set group of bowling pins of said reduced scale;
- recessed grooves at the sides of said sheet replicating a gutter of said reduced scale;
- a planar access area at a front end of said sheet, said access area being horizontally parallel to and vertically raised above said sheet;
- miniature bowling pins of said reduced scale for placement on said indicia;
