The three holes on a bowling ball represent the three phases of bowling: windup, release, and genuflection. Send a ball properly on its way with today's Groupon: for $19, you get two games of bowling (a $75 value), shoe rental (a $21 value), and one bumper-car ride (a $36 value) for up to six people at Splitsville Entertainment in Hamilton (up to a $132 total value, including HST).

At Splitsville Entertainment, bowlers roll strikes, spares, and gutter balls in a facility encompassing 34 lanes, a full restaurant, a lounge area, and an arcade. Wielding tiny lassos, staff members ensnare toes and outfit them with specialized footwear before directing players toward their designated lanes. As balls barrel down waxed fairways, an automated touch-screen scoring system registers every felled pin while more than 20 plasma TVs distract idling players with candle-making videos. Meanwhile, a fleet of hovercraft-style bumper cars glides, bumps, spins, and parallel parks in the game room. Players can kick back as two stone fireplaces radiate warmth across hardwood floors, colourful carpets, and cushy couches in Splitsville's lounge area. Bowlers can also nosh on selections from Splitsville's full kitchen menu, quench thirst with an array of libations, and practice virtual sock knitting in the arcade room.
