First Answer:
It depends what Bowling you are doing there is ten pin bowling which would have 10 pins and there is also five pin bowling which obviously has 5.
Second Answer:
To give further detail to the above answer, in tenpin bowling there are 120 possible pins to be knocked down per game (stike = 10 pins, 12 possible strikes per game = 120 pins, total score for that game is 300).
When the pros are bowling on TV in the tournament finals, each lane has 21 pins. This is so there will always be ten pins in the pinsetter to be placed on the lane immediately after one of the bowlers throws a strike so there will be no wasted time.
The typical house uses 21 pins for the pinsetter. This way there is always 10 pins available to set. Ten on the lane, eleven between the pit and the pinsetter cycling for the next frame.
The answer would depend on a number of factors. If the center was a 10 pin, 5 pin, duck pin or candle pin center. The answer also depends on the number of lanes.
Generally, there are around 2 full sets of pins per lane loaded for a 10 pin bowling center. Centers will usually have extra sets of used pins or new pins and may rotate their pins for longer life, much like having two or three pairs of the same shoes and rotating them daily or weekly.
The statistic is not being tracked. Each lane at a center typically has 20 pins in the machine.
The lifespan of pins is generally 1 to 2 years depending on if the lanes circulate them with other batches of pins to increase life. This concept is similar to buying two sets of the same shoes. If you just wear one pair until worn out and then switch to the other pair, you will not have the same amount of lifespan compared to alternating wearing each pair every day or every week.
You have to knock down ten pins in two tries to get a spare.

To score you need to hit the pins.
To knock all the pins down.
Because the pins are shorter, squatter, and lighter than that of the tenpin. The bowling ball is also a lot smaller and there are no finger holes (similar to that of candlestick bowling). Scoring is more difficult because there is less control.The pins are arranged the same way as tenpin bowling. However you have 3 shots per frame to knock down all the pins. A strike is made when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll. A spare is made when all the pins are knocked down in two rolls. If it takes all three shots to knock down the pins, then you get a score of ten but no bonus.Scoring works the same as in tenpin bowling and a perfect game is still 300. As of 2008 a perfect score has still not been recorded.
In many cases, the Professional Bowling Association will replace the pins with new pins during a major tournament, however it is not a requirement.
There are ten pins in ten pin bowling as that is the nature of that sport. In 5 pin bowling, there are 5 pins.
No tin pins, ten in ten pin

America invented bowling. The Dutch brought the game of 9 pins to America. The New York legislature outlawed the game of 9 pins. A group of New Yorkers added a 10th pin and called it bowling. That way they were not playing 9 pins.
