Pac-Man Baller

Pac-Man Baller is an arcade basketball game, developed by Polish manufacturer WIK Amusement and released in 2022 by Bandai Namco Amusement America.
The game is connected to a "series" of Pac-Man redemption games known as the "Pac-Man Street Range", each of which features "street art"-like designs. Other titles in this set include Pac-Man Roller and Pac-Man Pinger/Slider.
== Overview ==
Pac-Man Baller is a rebranded version of WIK's previously-released Basketball machine,https://www.wik.pl/product/basketball redesigned to feature Pac-Man-themed artwork and sound effects. Notably, both machines are weatherproof, allowing them to be used in outdoor locations.
The game itself is a Super Shot-styled game, in which the player must shoot basketballs into a hoop that moves left and right. Each round tasks the player with shooting a certain number of baskets (e.g. 20 shots) in order to advance to the next stage. The game features a video screen for scoring. The machine features options for both an "amusement mode" and a "ticket mode", the latter awarding tickets based on the player's score.
