A method for playing a value-variable game of chance includes providing a random number generator including one or more walls forming a grid, the grid including an entrance zone and a finishing zone, and the grid being configured to support a transit of a puck from the entrance zone to the finishing zone; providing the finishing zone as including two or more finishing positions, each of the finishing positions configured to receive the puck, and each of the finishing positions being assigned a different finishing position value; providing the grid as including one or more deflectors; introducing a puck into the grid at the entrance zone and subjecting the puck to a force to drive the puck to the finishing zone, and allowing the puck to be deflected off any of the deflectors that it impacts during the puck's transit.

In one embodiment there is provided an arcade machine having a plurality of different achievable objects, a plurality of different reward cards, each reward card associated with one of the achievable objects and capable of being dispensed by a card dispenser in response to the achieving of its associated achievable object, and wherein at least one reward card is dispensed by the card dispenser during or after game play upon at least one of the achievable objects being achieved, and wherein a different reward card is dispensed depending on the achievable object that is achieved. In one embodiment, a networked redemption system is associated with the game and the game further enables connectivity with social media and/or other publishing avenues for communicating information about the player and/or game play.

A fast-moving soccer/football action game with figures moving on a board; two players face off against each other. Each player controls two action figures plus a goalie. Miniaturized soccer play, just in time for the international soccer championship playoffs. A partial-boxed game board is laid out in professional soccer markings. Each of the action figures can kick a ball by hand-activated spring-action of the figures. A goalie figure can be made stationary or move to block shot on goal. A miniature ball or marble or a more flattened ball-object is used.

The present invention provides an animated game table for playing games such as Beer Pong (Beruit), that permits individual or group cup movement across a low-friction game surface via magnetic attraction. In one or more embodiments, the animated game table of the present invention utilizes a series of animated magnets placed below the surface of a low-friction game surface to move an one or more magnetically sensitive cups across the top of the low-friction game surface. In some embodiments, the movement of these magnets, and therefore the cups, is controlled by a microprocessor and various movement patterns can be preprogrammed or controlled through a wireless connection to a smart phone or other similar device. In some embodiments, flashing lights and speakers, also controlled by the microprocessor, can be added to increase the excitement and/or difficulty of the game and improve the overall gameplay experience.
