Hospitality gaming and entertainment supplier SX Leisure has announced a new addition to its competitive socialising range in the form of “UK market exclusive” Jet Pong.

The game is a new take on the classic American game Beer Pong, offering LED displays, a floating ball return, customisable 32” screens, and “tournament regulation” red Solo cups.

“We are delighted to announce a brand new offering in our competitive socialising range,” said a spokesperson.

“Jet Pong is an addictive take on the popular drinking game beer pong, where players compete against each other for high scores by bouncing their ping pong ball into the cups.”

Jet Pong inventor Terry Ruddell travelled from Canada to meet SX Leisure MD Steve Hawkins as the supplier installed the first UK Jet Pong at the Nursery Tavern in Sheffield.

“Loving this innovation from our partner SX Leisure,” said Dawn Clarke, head of electronic leisure at Nursery Tavern owner Mitchells and Butlers. “Jet Pong is a perfect fit for The Nursery Tavern! Great to see us leading the way in competitive socialising!”
