Nintendo’s Wii Sports changed the game forever. Using the motion-sensing Wii remote game controller, a simple sway of the arm and a flick of the wrist is enough to send a ball hurtling toward those troublesome pins. Heather’s Wild Hare sweetens the deal when it hosts the weekly Wii Bowling Tournament. Strike out every Wednesday when the virtual lanes open with a $5 buy-in and a winner-take-all cash prize. Non-kingpins can console themselves with $3 shots and Bud Lights.
