PULASKI, WI (WTAQ) – The classic arcade game Skee-Ball will soon be made in Wisconsin.
Joseph Sladek sold Skee-Ball Incorporated this week to Bay Tek Games of Pulaski and the price was not disclosed.
Bay Tek CEO Gaetan Philippon says production will be moved to northeast Wisconsin after a three-month transition.
Skee-Ball was invented in Philadelphia in 1909, and Sladek bought the company in 1985.
About 30 people work at a plant near Philadelphia that makes the games, in which players roll wooden balls toward large targets for points.
