Football Season Is Here: Is Your Bar Game-Ready?
BFC Enterprises • August 29, 2025
The other day, I spotted someone wearing a shirt that read, “Fantasy Football Widow” – and it made me laugh. But it also reminded me: football season is in full swing.
Across the country, people are gathering in bars, pubs, and restaurants to catch the game, connect with friends, and enjoy a cold drink. For many businesses, football season means packed tables, buzzing TVs, and higher tabs. But if your bar isn’t seeing that kind of action, it may be time to rethink your game plan
– literally.
Adding amusement games can transform your space into a destination, drawing in new customers and encouraging existing ones to stay longer – even after the final whistle.

Here are three amusements, we recommend bar and pub owners consider adding and why:
Pool Tables: A Year-Round Classic
Pool tables remain one of the most popular and profitable amusements in the U.S., with over 46 million players annually.
Why it Works:
- Pool draws in both casual players and serious competitors
- Great for game day and slow nights
- Hosting tournaments or forming a league builds loyalty and repeat traffic
📌
Pro-Tip: A well-placed pool table can turn downtime between games into extra dollars for your bar.
Digital Darts: Modern, Competitive, Social
The latest generation of digital dartboards, like the Arachnid Galaxy Fire, blends classic gameplay with modern tech.
Why it Works:
- Supports 1 to 8 players – perfect for groups
- Internet-connected for local and global league play
- Easy for beginners, exciting for pros
📌
Pro-Tip: Darts are compact, competitive, and community-building – everything a bar wants during football season and beyond.
Golden Tee Live: The Ultimate Virtual Golf Game
Golden Tee is a staple in bars for a reason. With 30+ years of popularity, it attracts players of all ages and skill levels.
Why it Works:
- Fresh content with new courses and characters (hello, John Daly!)
- Supports local and national tournaments
- Fast-paced, fun, and highly addictive
📌
Pro-Tip: Run a weekly tournament, and suddenly, your “Tuesday night” becomes “Golden Tee Night.”
But the fun doesn’t have to be just centered around football. Adding a TouchTunes jukebox or interactive sports games helps create an entertaining environment that makes your bar the go-to spot – even on the rare night when football isn’t on.
Final Play: Keep Patrons Longer, Boost Revenue
Amusement games aren’t just about fun – they’re about increasing dwell time, maximizing spend per visit, and creating a community inside your business. When customers stick around after the game to shoot pool or challenge friends to a digital dart match, you win too.

That's exactly why partnering with BFC Enterprises to select and manage your amusement games is a smart move. You get expertly matched equipment that maximizes fun, keeps customers engaged, and hits your revenue goals, without any of the guesswork or hassle. Game Selection Backed by Real Experience BFC Enterprises has spent decades placing games in all kinds of business environments. We've seen what works in shopping centers versus family restaurants. We know which games draw teenagers at youth sports facilities and which ones keep adults entertained at bars while they wait for their food. When we evaluate your location, we're looking at your customer base, your foot traffic patterns, and your available space. We're thinking about who's walking through your doors, how long they typically stay, and what kind of entertainment matches their vibe. Then we match game styles to those factors for optimal performance. You shouldn't have to figure this out through expensive trial and error. We already know what works. Maximize Play and Profit Here's a truth every business owner should know: not all amusement games perform equally in every location. Some games get tons of attention and consistent play. Others just take up space. We use data and hands-on experience to choose games that will actually get played. We place the ones that grab attention, generate consistent activity, and deliver the highest revenue return. This means more passive income for you without spending months testing different machines to see what sticks. Think of it this way: we're not just dropping random equipment in your location and hoping for the best. We're strategically placing proven performers that match your specific environment. That's the difference between a few extra bucks a month and a meaningful revenue stream. Regular Rotation Without the Hassle Even the best games can get stale after a while. That's why we don't just set it and forget it. BFC Enterprises actively monitors game performance at your location. When we notice engagement dropping or when there's an opportunity to refresh things, we rotate games to keep your customers interested and having fun. We also select seasonal prizes that keep people playing longer and coming back to see what's new. The best part? You don’t have to track any of this yourself. We handle the strategy, the swaps, and the prize selection. Your customers stay entertained, and you keep earning, all without lifting a finger. Full-Service Support You Can Count On When you partner with BFC Enterprises , you're not just getting equipment delivered and left behind. You're getting complete, ongoing support. We handle compatibility issues, maintenance, prize stocking, and repairs. If something breaks, you're not scrambling to fix it or figure out who to call. Our team takes care of everything while you focus on what you do best – serving your customers and running your business. This is truly passive income. No headaches, no technical problems to solve, no wondering if you picked the right equipment. Just steady earnings from games that work. The Bottom Line Adding amusement games to your location is a smart way to increase customer engagement, extend dwell time, and create an additional revenue stream. But only if you choose the right games and manage them properly. When you partner with BFC Enterprises, you get the best-performing, highest-return amusement setup – customized specifically to your business and your customers – without any of the work.
