An information processing device, a gaming machine and a game system can play a game on a rolling program in a gaming machine. The information processing device includes an information medium processing part for transmitting and receiving game value information that can be used in a game to and from a portable information medium, and an interface for transmitting and receiving information to and from the gaming machine. The information medium processing part reads out first game value information given on the condition of exchange for a monetary value, capable of being used to play the game, and limited in cash conversion from the information medium as the game value information, provides the first game value information to the game, and restricts writing the first game value information read out from the information medium into the information medium as second game value information that can be converted into cash.

Apparatus and method of playing a building game against an opponent. The apparatus may include a podium for building a structure with stackable materials such as building blocks. The apparatus may also include an actuator that allows a first player to “blow up” a second players structure if the first player builds his or hers first. The Build or Boom™ game may simply utilize air chambers and a tube but is also capable of utilizing electrical and mechanical means to perform the same functions.

Last peg lose is a game played with two people. Each person takes turns moving. The flipping of a coin determines the first move. The game is designed for movement of pegs from each row. You may move as many pegs from one row at a time trying to leave your opponent with the last peg.

A block stacking game includes a plurality of blocks that are stackable upon each other to define a tower. Each of the blocks has a respective one of a plurality of colors and each of the blocks has command indicia printed thereon. A plurality of playing cards is provided and each of the playing cards has a unique color with respect to each other which corresponds to the color of respective ones of the blocks. A plurality of currency notes is provided that has value indicia printed on the currency notes. A pre-determined number of the currency notes are distributed to each of the players at the beginning of game play and the currency notes assigned to each of the players is relinquished or earned in accordance with the command indicia on the block that is removed from the tower.

The present invention is in the field of modular structures, assembled by way of fastening or attached means, whose purpose is to be used as base support structures for various applications, particularly connecting systems involving plastic or aluminum containers, recipients, bottles or vessels. Particularly, the invention comprises an omnidirectional construction system that includes connectors and terminals to be attached to containers with threaded openings or flat openings and container bases, to which various types of connectors may be attached to.

A tabletop drinking game apparatus includes a base, a tower, a plurality of dispensing units, a reservoir, a microcontroller, and a power source. The tower is concentrically attached to the base as the reservoir is concentrically connected to the tower, opposite of the base. Each user is able to enter their input command through a pair of control buttons of the base. The plurality of dispensing units is radially mounted around the tower and is in fluid communication with the reservoir so that the stored beverage can be dispensed according to the outcomes of the game. The power source is electrically connected to control buttons, the plurality of dispensing units, and the microcontroller to initiate the game play. The microcontroller is electronically connected to the plurality of dispensing units as the microcontroller determines the outcome of the game play.

A toy for use by at least two operators, the toy having an actuator for manipulation by each operator and a fluid reservoir, each actuator being operable to prime the fluid within the reservoir and to alter the direction of fluid flow so that actuation by a first operator may cause fluid to jet towards the second operator and vice versa.

A device for accommodating a puzzle including a flexible, particularly rollable surface element serving to store the puzzle, the device further comprising at least one, preferably a plurality of reinforcing elements which can be assembled together with the surface element so that the device is converted from a disassembled state with the surface element flexibly deformable to a plate-like stabilised state of the surface element, the reinforcing elements serving to stabilise the surface element in a plane, flat shape. A picture frame can present the puzzle.

An immersive amusement system features a path to be traversed by participants, a first array of devices mounted on a first side of said path, and a second array of devices mounted on an opposing second side of said path. Each device comprises either a beam emitter operable to transmit a respective visible beam, or a beam receiver operable to detect receipt thereby of a visible beam. The arrayed devices are setup in co-operable pairs, of which each co-operable pair comprises a beam emitter in one of said arrays and a corresponding beam receiver in the other of said arrays. A controller operably connected to the arrayed devices is configured to selectively activate and deactivate said beam emitters to cause transmission of visible beams from said beam emitters to said corresponding beam receivers, and to monitor for breaking of any of said visible beams by any of said participants.

A three-dimensional throwing game target apparatus includes platforms, bridge members, connectors and stanchions. The platforms include an outer wall and a platform receptacle ring that is adapted to receive a cup. Each of the bridge members include at least one bridge receptacle ring and a plurality of elongated girders extending outwardly from the bridge receptacle ring. The bridge members and the platforms may be detachably connected to one another in a horizontal plane. The stanchions are assembled to the platforms to support the receptacle rings at a plurality of different heights. The platforms, bridge members, connectors and stanchions may be assembled together to support the platform receptacle rings at selected vertically and horizontally spaced locations.
