Viper by GLD Products 797 Electronic Soft Tip Dart Board for Adults

This product has been great it’s easy to use and has a ton of games most I had never heard off but has all the regular ones. The darts it comes with are ehh but you can upgrade as needed. I do like that it came with a bunch of extra tips

After finishing the basement, we needed something to play besides video games & watching TV. We came across this board, among others, but thought that this was the best choice, based on reviews & the manufacturer's reputation. We got it hung & have been using it for a while now. It's a lot of fun! Many games to explore, scoring is accurate (once you understand it), & it's a great time for family play. We've also used the board for adult relatives & friends, & everyone seems to enjoy it. It seems sturdy enough for frequent use, so far, so good. We recommend it. However, the "starter" darts are kind of cheaply made & will break, or the tips will bend, making them unusable. So while the board itself is nice, I suggest that you purchase better darts right away. We did, & haven't had a problem with broken darts since.

Love the dart board – mostly.We upgraded from a department store $29 board, this is a million times better. The main thing we wanted was the ability to see 4 players cricket needs all at the same time. The RED scores and needs are clearly visible from the throwing line. If you want a great board without spending $100’s then I can highly recommend this board as the best bang for the buck. It is not too cheap and not too expensive. The darts stick very well with virtually no bounce outs after about 20 games. (we have our own darts and are not using the included darts / tips)Minor Nits to Pick. If you think these will bug you then look at other boards.No visual Volume Indicator, and it is a little on the quite side, so we can’t listen to music and hear the board. When you press the volume button to change volume the beeps pretty much all sound the same, so we don’t know what volume we are at.No Auto Advance Indicator (if it is on / off) and it seems somewhat random in the time it takes to switch between players. It seems like anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds, which has our players running to the board to try to pull darts in time.The buttons are not true buttons, but just a sticker over the recessed buttons and they are slightly misaligned. We have to press harder than normal to “feel” where the recessed button really is under the sticker. I assume before long we will wear through the sticker to the button underneath.No button to back out a score (that I found and is obvious). Since the Auto Advance sometimes is premature, usually a few times a game someone accidently creates a score while removing a dart. Since we just play friendly games not a problem, but serious players might be upset.While the cricket needs are clear with the lights, the actual labels for the needs are just on the sticker, so you can’t easily tell if you need 16’s or 17’s without counting down from 20, because the labels are not lit and are small and hard to read from the throwing line (at least for my old eyes).Some of the stickers (example the board brand name) is not well stuck and I will have to glue it down to keep it from peeling before too long.The default “cricket” button is Euro, not American, which means no scoring unless also press the game button to advance the game counter to play American Cricket.So far, despite the little nits from above, we like the board very much. It seems sturdy and I think we will get a lot of play out of it. I made sure not to toss the catalog since I’m sure we will need to order more stickers before to long.

Purchased for my husband for his birthday & he caught a glimpse of the box which only said "Viper 797", so he & my son had a great time guessing what it could be. The legendary "Viper 797" did not disappoint! They are still having a blast (8 months later) learning new games & the automatic scoring makes it easy to just focus on the "fun" part. We've enjoyed playing so much that we upgraded our darts, but don't feel the need to upgrade the board itself anytime soon (at least not for our casual playing).

I love the design of this dartboard, and the fact that it displays current darts and round totals, but it has two major issues. First, the volume is way too low. If you have any music playing, you won't be able to hear the audio. This can create some confusion on which player's turn it is, if you are relying on the audio. The second issue is that it sometimes registers points when you hit outside the scoring zone. If you hit just outside of the scoring portion of the board, sometimes it will register a hit on the number you nearly hit. You have to pay close attention, and bounce out those scores to keep things accurate.I sent the first board back for the aforementioned issues, and they sent me a replacement. The replacement does the same thing as the first one I had, so I think it is a design flaw. It is usable, but I'd look for a higher end board with better reviews if you are serious about accuracy.Also, the manufacturer was very helpful in exchanging the board, but the seller (Unbeatable Sales)wasn't very helpful at first. I called and was told that they would not accept any electronics that were opened/used. How was I supposed to know the board was defective if I hadn't opened and used it? After several phones calls and calling the manufacturer, they ultimately did the right thing and refunded my money.

Now lets talk about how much fun this is when you mount it PROPERLY. It has room for up to 16 players, I had 8 and the system worked excellent in all the different game options to choose from. The speaker is a bit low for me but when 8 people are screaming and laughing so loud it's no wonder. The changing to the next player after on another is a little too slow for me by the board and sometimes the darts are hard to pull out (Throwing mad hard will do that). I recommend this board to all if you love playing dart or just wanna have fun with your friend.

Gave as a gift and when my son opened package there was no installation guide or hardware and was also missing game user guide wasn’t to hard but when it advertised as new but is missing pieces it makes we wonder????
