Shuffly, a leading creator of shuffleboards for the leisure and entertainment industry, has unveiled Shuffly Interactive, its most adaptable and highest-quality interactive shuffleboard yet.
Featuring entirely new software and a bigger, horizontal screen, Shuffly Interactive provides a more immersive shuffleboard experience while also serving as a multi-activity table.
Essentially a bar table with an integrated shuffleboard, it enables venues to add an engaging attraction, offer new experiences, and generate revenue without sacrificing floor space. The versatile shuffleboard can be used to host presentations or display sporting events, and also functions as a conference table.
Designed for social play and F&B venues
Shuffly Interactive's updated software features improved visuals, smoother gameplay, and enhanced player feedback. It offers three games, Knock-Off, Classic Shuffleboard, and Curling, with more set to be released in the future.
Around 60–75% of the playfield is tracked using a diagonally positioned overhead camera and Shuffly’s specialised Dice Tracking software.
Pucks are labelled with dice values from one to four per team. This improves visibility and creates opportunities for future game modes in which individual pucks can be equipped with special abilities, such as bonus points or other effects. Additionally, the system can be easily calibrated by operators.
Based on Shuffly’s modular shuffleboard platform, the hardware includes a flatter tablet stand, fully integrated cabling, an industrial PC, and built-in LED lighting. Optional extras include interactive LED effects and various payment options such as credit and debit cards, Intercard, Embed, and Sacoa.
Future additions include a replay camera system and booking system integration. All shuffleboards will be accessible through an operator dashboard webpage, enabling team members to manage numerous units from a single interface.

Created with a focus on social play and F&B environments, Shuffly Interactive's bar tops are integrated directly into the cradle for optimised ergonomics and balance.
The low cradle entrance enhances accessibility for children and players of different heights, while the narrow footprint maximises revenue per square metre. Ceiling-mounted lighting can be added to ensure clear sightlines around the table.
Shuffly is continually developing additional software updates and new gameplay features to evolve the interactive shuffleboard in line with operator needs and visitor expectations.
Last year, Shuffly made its US debut at Amusement Expo in Las Vegas, which took place from 17 to 20 March.
