Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounges introduced the upscale boutique bowling experience six years ago, and all 20 locations across America and Canada have now added BrightSign solid-state media players to deliver high quality video artwork and venue promotions to complement their trademark cocktails, private lanes and sophisticated menu. BrightSign Network Management enables art displays and promotional messages to be coordinated, from California to New York.

In 2012, Lucky Strike management integrated the Rockbot social jukebox app, using BrightSign players, to provide customers with a virtual DJ experience in each location.

“Digital Signage and apps like Rockbot’s innovative music streaming service offer sophisticated new ways to engage customers while building brand awareness. The mobile integration Rockbot provides with its smartphone app lets customers interact with the music played onsite for a truly unique digital signage experience.” - Jeff Hastings, BrightSign CEO
