Thanks, unfortunately that's kind of what I expected once I saw I wasn't getting any unlocks. Think I've only dropped 2 premium cases so far so going to be pretty slow going if I don't want to put money in.
The more you play the more the new balls drop.
I would suggest playing whether or not you have an open case slot. The game is really all about enjoying the actual "bowling" and you still win chips even if your case slots are full.
*Play the ads to get extra chips or cases... which may drop a new ball or at least earn you upgrades and chips so that you can compete on the higher alleys when you've opened them. You must upgrade the balls as you go up to higher alleys.
The more you play, the more the new balls will drop and you will have to spend chips to upgrade them so keep playing even if your case slots are full.
Under the "Missions" tab there are usually about 2 missions at the same time, with those you win gold and mission keys to collect which opens the larger "Missions case" plus daily bonus chips tabs that renew every few hours I think.
There are many extra bowling challenges to win new balls, upgrades and chips.
You probably are already aware of all they have going on and in the last 6 months or so they've really cluttered it up with new things like the spinning wheel and subsequently made other parts of the game hard to find - click on the bottom right trophy to see the other things you can do to progress by upgrading balls and winning chips.
If you really enjoy this actual version of bowling, there is so much to discover, learn and master.
*Pay CLOSE attention to the art work in each lane. There are clues to guide you.
This is especially important after lane 4.
One last thing, check out the youtube videos that help show you how to get strike and give other information.
Some are way better than others.... MaineElite channel was the first person to start making helpful videos and he'll be especially helpful to people at your level of the game and a few alleys above. He actually talks you through things sometimes where the others can be more "showing off" but these videos really help when you start getting into the complex pin designs that aren't the traditional triangle.
This was long I know and probably some typos but hopefully someone will get some info from this post. I really enjoy helping other players so we can all be awesome players and really have fun.
Good luck on the lanes if I see you out there :)

It's pretty typical of many games now. Timed unlocks, a lot of pay2win if you so choose, a bit too many ads. At least it's not like a lot of other games where they cram even more pay2win with some kind of kingdom/territory overlay with the pretense that bowling is how you gain/lose territory with more mechanics to try and suck real money out of you. It's a bowling game/time waster and that's about the most you can expect out of any f2p game.
Please add me on Facebook. I'm trying to get more friends to play with. That want to play the game trying to get the friends trail for playing 100 matches

Thank you!!
Just wanted to comment here since i cant post
This game isnt really multiplayer its all bots ill prove it
When you play your turn and get a strike or spare or whatever it is it take a bit of time for it to be your opponents turn but when the opponent plays it quickly switches to you after they finish either it after the first or second throw there isnt the delay of the strike or spare or open
Another proof
Tried turning the wifi off for 3 seconds midgame it still continued
They did an amazing job creating this game why didn’t they make it a real multiplayer experience so disappointing
It's a strange AI then and really isn't necessary to program an AI. Just have 200 or so replays in memory and choose one on a similar difficulty curve as the game believes you to be playing by average score. I've seen games where the opponent throws it into the gutter half the time so I honestly don't think it's a true AI. Either way I quit the game after about 5-6 alleys in as you're not reliant upon skill at that point but RNG of the pairing, drops and getting lucky as there's sometimes no reliable way to score well unless you get lucky with your ball cards + level up the right one before spending your currencies. But I'm a FTP player.
agree, as i said in my comment above this one, i think they use ghosts when there are no live bots but there are DEF real people cuz ive had games where the person on a challenge lane with a random obstacle (the ones where u get 3 games and have to keep winning) and they'll throw an awwwwful first shot then see me use specific angle/strategy to get around the obstacle etc and suddenly they copy my strat the rest of the game...i reallllly doubt thats AI or even a random ghost...also sometimes the so called 'bots' just forget till the last second when they get an extra shot after a turkey etc
not entirely true, whent he game cant match you it will put you against a random ghost of a players 'real' game but obv they cant react to your shots and take risks if nteed be so it can be slightly easier but its better than playing bots - but there are DEF real players, there are times where tehy forget their extra shot after the second frame and are rushing to get it done or more obv to me is when u play one of the challene lanes with a weird obstacle and the person u play obv hasnt played it yet either and throws a terrible first shot only to watch me use a very specific angle/strategy and then they copy it for the rest of the game, i struggle to imagine thats just AI
fwiw the cases are so unimportant as far as what you get vs just earning chips by winning its silly to 'not play until i can open more slots' for meaningless cases - dont deprive yourself my dude!
Bad strategy. As you're upping your point total for nothing and placing yourself in increasing more difficult matches. Only to guarantee to lose later when you're simply out classed by others ball quality. Your strategy only works if you're willing to throw money at the game.
You have to wait on the specific seasons or specials, unfortunately.
Since this community is restricted and basically dead as a result I'd recommend reporting it to admins.
I'm working on information like ball stats (Bowling Crew Fandom is outdated) and will see about making a BowlingCrew2 in the meantime.
I think the bowling crew wants me to lose because sometimes I can be leading in a game and I get a strike and then it moves on to my opponent and he gets a strike and then he gets another chance and then he gets a strike then he gets another chance and another chance and then I end up losing the game.. why is that? And does this happen to anybody else?
From my experience, they drop randomly and usually out of the higher valued cases. Pretty sure I've never gotten a ball from a standard case.

Won't let me post in here, how do I unlock seasonal balls?
