The Social Gaming Group unveils Flyby Darts 180, a pioneering darts system with advanced machine learning technology

The Social Gaming Group, a company specialising in technology-driven competitive socialising, has introduced Flyby Darts 180, an innovative darts system that utilises cutting-edge machine learning technology. This marks the first system of its kind in the industry.

Flyby Darts 180 integrates top-tier Winmau darts boards with sophisticated camera-detection software capable of tracking every dart with exceptional precision and speed. This technology delivers a smooth and intuitive gameplay experience, allowing players to remain fully engaged and fostering stronger connections among groups as they compete and enjoy the game.

Designed to meet the rising demand for interactive and engaging social experiences, Flyby Darts 180 combines traditional darts formats like 501 with new social-centric games such as Darts Quiz. This approach ensures accessibility for players of all skill levels and group dynamics.

The system offers operators considerable flexibility through various hardware configurations tailored to different venue styles and spatial requirements. Each option incorporates the advanced machine-learning dart detection system as a standard feature.

Operators can select from an ‘essentials’ kit, which includes core components and allows customisation of cabinetry aesthetics, a ‘turnkey’ package that delivers a fully integrated software and hardware solution ready for immediate deployment, or a ‘bespoke’ option for venues seeking a customised gaming environment.

Flyby Darts 180 responds to operator needs for attractions that not only boost visitor numbers but also enhance engagement duration and encourage repeat patronage. The system balances commercial viability with a more inclusive and socially oriented style of play.

Trond Bastiansen, CEO of The Social Gaming Group, commented: “Operators today need experiences that deliver commercially as well as creatively. Flyby Darts 180 has been built to do both, driving longer dwell times, repeat visits, and higher spend per head, while remaining simple and reliable to operate.”

He added: “What matters just as much is the experience we are creating for players. By removing the friction and making the game more intuitive, it allows people to focus on the joys of playing together, whether they are seasoned players or picking up darts for the first time.”

“It’s about giving venues a high-performing experience that works just as well behind the scenes as it does for the guest.”
