Arachnid Cricket Pro Tournament-Quality Electronic Dartboard up to 40 Games and 315 Variations (Including Popular Cricket Modes)

We Are LOVING this board. I learned to play darts on the arachnid machines that you feed cash to, at the bar. I used to play often with friends and really enjoyed the experience. I was looking for that same feeling in purchasing a board for home use. The large machines at the bars are usually made by this same brand so I was hoping for the same quality and feel. I am pleased to report that I did get the quality and feel I was looking for. We have had 3 game nights using this board and are really enjoying playing all the standard games. We like the sound of the announcement on the board and while it is loud, if you have a group of 4 to 6 people in your game room or play movies or Tv (like we do) then the volume is great. My husband and I both really like the darts that came with this board. Others are describing them as "heavy" and resulting in "heavy throws" which make it hard to get the darts out. We are not finding that. In fact, I was concerned about this issue based on other reviews. I went ahead and ordered the "Dart pro soft tip plastic darts, 4 colors, pack of 12". We played with the arachnid darts and had great accuracy, nice grip and NO BOUNCE OUTS or misses. We tried out the dart pro darts and lemme tell ya... dislike! Those darts are way too light and feel terrible in hand. They bounce out a ton and we often had not nice/errant throws with those flimsy darts. I do not recommend buying those, unless you have never played darts before or you want them for guests/roundy children. The display here is great and easy to read once you get acquainted with it. I was a little overwhelmed at first but then we learned how to operate it and it's a breezy. Keep the manual around, it clearly explains the set up on new game/adding players... I am thinking of making a quick start guide for guests. We also really like that this is not battery operated but it is plug in. We happened to have an outlet right below where our board is plugged in so it worked out nicely. Keep that in mind when purchasing. Dos: Order some extra arachnid darts, just like the ones that come with this board and enjoy your board. Don'ts: do not order the plastic, cheap dart pro darts as suggested in other reviews. I looked at other boards here on amazon, some more $$ and some less $$ but I am convinced that I paid a great price for a nice group of useful features and a quality item. Highly recommend!

Unlike some of the other reviews, mine came well packaged and clearly unopened. Only been using it for a few days but have played a good number of games. The board itself is just like the coin-ops at the bar. I can read the scores and cricket lights without a problem. Computer opponent is okay but can be beat easily on highest level in cricket and almost impossible to beat at any level in Bermuda. Still better than playing alone as you can still test your game strategy. I think the darts it came with are pretty good quality for the "included" variety. I have tried all the types of tips I have (the included ones, some older ones, and stubbies). All stick fine with the same amount of bounce out as you get on any board (my own tips are pretty beat up anyway). Mounts sturdy with two mounting points. Has a lot of games, but I bought it primarily for 301, 501, cricket, and Bermuda. I will have to try the others sometime. As far as the darts being hard to remove from board, you need to remove them properly (twist clockwise and pull). Sound is a bit loud even on low but I am glad this does not have heckler as that is annoying. I suggest mounting board on a backboard that can absorb a little more shock than a wall. Here is what mine looks like mounted. Should I have any problems I will update this review, but so far so good.

Being a league shooter I figured I would try to give a logical review: Pros: -Regulation (tournament) size / arachnid colors. -Thick board, braces well against dart throws, very few bounce outs with 16gram or bigger darts. Some reviewers have said it's hard to pull the darts out: personally I love it. Most dart throwers know you have to twist the dart clockwise to easily remove any dart, but the board is solid and catches darts as well as a brand new arachnid stand-up board. -Shows 4 players scores at once unlike most others with 2 score screens, if that. -Next player button only has to be hit once and power button is far enough away that you won't accidentally turn the game off. -Cricket colors (green to orange to red) are easy to tell the difference and I don't have perfect 20/20 vision. Not to mention once you close a score for all players it flashes red so you know it's closed. Cons: -Like most boards, this one doesn't give the option to turn off double bull so you can get 50 points for a single. You can just skip the turn back to yourself, give yourself another single bull and then skip back to the next player to make up the difference... -The sound actually is pretty loud even on Low compared to most boards, but you can turn it off all the way which is nice. The single sounds like bingo as said by other reviewers as well, but obviously not a big deal. If you're buying this board it's not for the great sound quality. -Darts don't always register. The board definitely works...don't assume the panels are bad, but if you use light darts, even 16gram darts, then you'll have to watch and make sure every dart is being counted. The board is so good at catching the darts and not letting them bounce out that it actually stops the dart from penetrating the sensor panel. Not exactly a con as much as an over-pro in my opinion. :) Overall if you play league darts or really like darts and want something of quality without going overboard, then this is your board. The other Arachnid's that are cheaper in the 60-100 range are much cheaper in quality as you can find out through the reviews. This board is perfect at 150 as your not over-spending, but you're getting your money's worth. I've had the board for about a week now, I use it daily, and it works great. It's a good buy, don't go cheap! Thanks for reading.

Got this board based on the price and reviews and am not disappointed at all. Installation was easy and the instructions give you the proper measurements for where you need to drill your pilot holes to put the board at regulation height. The darts that come with the board seem pretty decent, but I haven't played with them extensively. Nice to have spare darts for friends to come over and play though. I have been using my 18g darts with this board and they work just fine. They do hit the board a little bit loud, but part of that is just the way I throw. Just don't play at night if you have light sleepers around. For me, it seemed as though there was a break-in period for the board. My first shots stuck in very hard and were difficult to remove, even broke one tip off in the board. After hours and hours of playing, I don't have to get a workout pulling my darts out anymore. All in all, great quality dartboard. The 650 gives you great quality with a decent price.

We purchased this in December 2024 and it stopped working November 2025. Didn't even last a year. We had purchased this same board previously and it lasted about 5 years. We have the cabinet the board mounts to so thought we would try again

I have had this board for 6or 7 years.. It use to get played all of the time..Best electronic dart board for the money by far. Very rarely would it drop a dart and that would normally be the throwers fault. Good Quality product! Glad I bought it

First off, before you give any credence to the review from reviewer Duffy let me explain what is obvious to any thinking person. This board almost never lets the darts "bounce out" which is a huge problem with most other soft tip boards. Because it grabs the darts so well you will need to turn the darts clockwise as you try to pull them out. Otherwise they are in fact difficult to remove. This board has provided my friends and I with countless hours of fun in the past few months. There are many games that are great for parties such as "Gotcha" and the display and playability of this board simply make is a true pleasure to use. The board colors are vivid, helping you focus clearly on your target. Sound effects are good, although I would recommend that they use a better speaker because it sounds like it's saying Bingo instead of Single. You get used to that very quick and it's really kind of funny anyway, so no worries. The Red, Orange, Green display pattern for Cricket is easy to see from the line and makes knowing your status effortless. This may seem like quite a bit of money compared to some of the other boards on the market, but once you buy it you will realize the money was well spent.

I absolutely love this particular darboard with one caveat that I'll get to momentarily. This is a sturdy and well constructed soft-tip dartboard that my family and I have been using this at a light or moderate level(several games of criket or Round the Clock weekly) since it was purchased for Christmas 2021. There is one exceptionally annoying flaw and that is in the computer opponent difficulty levels. Simply put, they are absurd. The lowest dificulty level has the computer often closing out the bullseyes in two or three turns. Lets be honest here. How many absolute beginners(novice on this system)are going to consistently close out the bullseye-or any number-within three or four rounds? The settings desperately need to be adjusted for the computer opponent. Once again though, aside from this, when several people are playing together this is a LOT of fun and has lasted 4+ years now. I would buy again but definitely would be much more inclined to buy another if I heard that this annoyance had been addressed.
