10 Best Electric Dartboards (Review) In 2019

Our first product and pick for the best electric dartboard across the board is the Viper 777 which is tournament sized to appeal to more serious players, but the wide range of potential games and variations will also appeal to those who just love to have fun, too.

The ultra-thin spider minimizes the number of bounce outs for more accurate scoring and a more authentic feel, while the soft tip darts ensure you don’t damage your wall. It can accommodate 8 players, and the automatic scoring system guarantees any arguments over whether points count or not as a thing of the past.

Second, the Arachnid Cricket Pro is another tournament quality option with a 15.5” target area that’ll feel just like you’re Phil “The Hammer” Taylor when you next get up to take your shot, although there’s likely to be less rowdy drunken fan fare behind you.

It comes with 24 games and 132 options for excellent versatility, while the highly responsive sensors are accurate to ensure proper enjoyment and realistic play. With it, you can play against 7 of your friends and family (or randoms you challenge on the street), although the LED screen only displays 4 scores at a time. Also included are player handicap features to level the playing field, and player throw prompting to keep the game flowing.

If you’re looking for an electronic dart board you can play with long into the night but also don’t want to splash out too much of your hard-earned cash, the Fat Cat Rigel is a fantastic option that will not disappoint. It’s slightly smaller than your average dartboard, but this will only improve your precision, while the LED display is clear and easy to read.

Accented in proud red, white, and blue (to appeal to players on both sides of the Atlantic) and both Old Glory and Union Jack dart motifs, it’s a true patriots dartboard. These designs are split between the 6 included darts, and you’ll also get replacement dart tips to make up for when they snap from overzealous throwing.

Coming in a fancy and painfully sophisticated cabinet sure to class up your games room as soon as it’s installed, the Viper Neptune is a dartboard that’s entirely out of this world. (Because, y’know, Neptune, get it?)

Anyway, to keep with the classy look, it is regulation size at 15.5”, and comes complete with 57 games and 307 options across 5 difficulty levels to appeal to experienced and novice darts players. The thin spider eliminates (or at least minimizes) the risk of bounce outs for better accuracy in the scores so there’s little argument over who’s truly the best around.

Our final Viper selection is the Viper Specter which again meets tournament regulation sizes and boasts a plethora of features to maximize the potential for both casual and more competitive play. The ultra-thin spider easily separates segments and reduces bounce back, while the large dart ring around the perimeter prevents broken dart tips and ensures easy retrieval, however, the provided darts can sometimes be a little tricky to pull out, especially if you’re not yet aware of your own strength.

Within, there are 50 games with 704 playing options including all the classics (301, 501) and more obscure games you’ll only really know about if you’ve played them before. If not, this is your chance to master them and show off to your buddies next time it’s your turn to host. The electronic score keeping ensures accuracy, and voice options are available in both English and Spanish for bilingual enjoyment. Mounting hardware is included and the board can accommodate up to 4 players. Our guide to the best two-player board games features more awesome games you will love.

The Triumph Sports Evolution boasts a full TruColor display to throw your dartboard far into the modern world. Also included is a 15.5” target area and automated scoring and cricket score display for easy, hassle-free play.

It comes complete with 6 soft tip darts which you can use to explore any of the 34 games and 183 variations for versatile play and endless enjoyment. This makes it great for family game nights, especially if you’ve exhausted Monopoly and Clue, or everyone just refused to play with you any longer. You can also practice against the computer or go for the single player mode if everyone’s thrown their toys out of the pram because of your mighty dart prowess. However, the interface only displays scores for 2 players at a time, which isn’t ideal but also not a deal breaker, and the plethora of additional features should keep you interested, because it’s not everyday you get to play darts with fun cartoon character avatars, is it?

True darts aficionados will fall head over heels with the high-tech wonders of the Gran Board 2 Bluetooth which, as the name suggests, uses Bluetooth 4.0 to connect you to the digital world for score tracking and allows you to test your skills against opponents all over the world. Only as long as they’ve got the same dartboard and app, though.

Included is a variety of fun games including all the classics, while the regulation size target makes you feel you’re right there at the tournament. The spider ensures little bounce off – although nothing is entirely perfect – so you’ll get one of the most authentic bar-like dart boards around. The app is easy to use, even if you’re not the most tech savvy around, however, some older devices may struggle to hold on to the Bluetooth connection, so be wary of this before purchasing to ensure you can enjoy all the features you want, especially considering the price.

The Arachnid Bullshooter E-Bristle comes with 6 soft tip and 6 steel tip darts for versatile use and a better feeling of authenticity when your more experienced dart playing buddies come over to show you up. The target area measures 13.5”, so it’s not as large as regulation size but still offers plenty of space for you to hit the bullseye.

You can take advantage of 38 available games and explore up t6o 183 variations of your favorite games, as well as ones you’re not too familiar with. The active score window updates automatically, and the LED Cricket score symbols keep the score clear for all to see. This will either be a great or terrible thing depending on your talent.  It’s easy to use, and it comes complete with the AC adapter for immediate use (and no worries about replacing batteries) but unfortunately, the electronics aren’t as reliable as other options and you might occasionally get an incorrect score. At least you’ll be able to work on your Math skills, though. For those of you who also like card games, we have prepared our selection of the best card shufflers, so be sure to check them out.

Despite sounding like an error popping up incessantly on your desktop, the WIN.MAX Electronic Soft Tip is a reasonably priced dartboard for more casual fans who just want to accessorize their man cave, games room, or garage for the next time the whole family comes over.

It features 21 games with a substantial 65 variations. While this isn’t the most we’ve found, it’s still enough, especially if you’re not too clued in on the nuances of dart games (and we’re sure you’ll only play 301, 501, or Round the Clock). The ultra-thin spider does what any decent dartboard should dso and minimizes bounce back, while the wide catch ring ensures easy dart retrieval. It comes with 6 darts and an AC adapter and can accommodate a variety of players so you can enjoy team games, one-on-ones, or tournaments all day long, and maybe all night long, too.

Our final pick in our search for the best electronic dart board is the super-cheap Franklin Sports FS1500 which at less than $20 is spectacular value for anyone looking for a simple, hassle-free option to inspire a love of the other beautiful game in their kids.

The target area measures 13.5” in diameter, while the voice and sound effects are a fun little addition and unlike other (and more expensive) options, they’re loud and clear, but not too loud that it’ll put you off your game as you step up to the throw line. You’ll get 6 darts with replacement tips, and the included hooks ensure an easily mountable board for immediate fun. The darts won’t always stick in, but for such a price, you shouldn’t expect premium quality, and if the love of darts sticks with the family, there’s always an opportunity to invest in your own, higher quality darts to perfect your skills.
