Illinois Darts

Illinois Darts is Accel's premier darts organization, comprised of regional leagues and tournaments throughout the State. Players have the chance to compete for great payouts and rewards.

Accel Entertainment’s darts community thrives in part due to our top-of-the-line darts equipment. Accel amusements allows for both online and State-wide play. We can provide G3 dart boards to locations that have the space and desire for darts players and tournaments. Some of these boards can network so teams can compete virtually across the State or even globally. This can encourage dart play even at locations that do not have enough players (yet!) for in-house tournaments.
