A game played on a miniature golf course is provided that includes two or more robots, each individually assigned to a player. A remote controller is individually assigned to each of the players for control of one of the two or more robots. A color-coded ball unique from the others is individually assigned to each of the players. A method of playing a golf game is also provide that includes the assignment to each player of a controller, the controller directing the operation of a specific robot. The player strikes a ball unique to the each of the players with the robot through controls passed through the controller on a miniature golf course hole with the object of urging the ball into a cup on the miniature golf course hole. The players can compete to do so by various metrics.

A delivery system and method for levitation is disclosed. The delivery system includes an inlet trough; a queue aligned with the inlet trough; a blocker conduit aligned with the queue; a first blocker and a second blocker, each having an extension through the blocker conduit for selectively permitting passage through the blocker conduit, the extension of the first blocker spaced laterally along the blocker conduit from the extension of the second blocker; an exhaust conduit having an exhaust conduit receiver opening and an exhaust conduit exit opening, the exhaust conduit receiver opening aligned with a blocker conduit exit opening of the blocker conduit; and a force generator positioned near the base end and below the exhaust conduit receiver opening. A rolling object can exit through the exhaust conduit exit opening and levitate above the exhaust conduit exit opening. The delivery system can include a speed reducer.

A robotic gaming system is provided that includes a playing surface, a ceiling above the playing surface and a subfloor below the playing surface. At least one robot is controlled by a player to navigate on the playing surface, above the subfloor, or below the ceiling to interact with a plurality of scoring elements. A sensor associated with a scoring element identifies when a robot successfully interacts with the scoring element to score points.

Disclosed are an apparatus, a system, and method for automatically launching roulette balls into a ball track of a roulette wheel.

A dealer substitute device 1 includes: a right arm 12 and a left arm 13 configured to move a first handling portion 14, with which a gaming tool 2 used in a game is handled, so as to position the first handling portion 14 at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional space; and a trunk 11 which supports the right arm 12 and the left arm 13 and is configured to perform effect operation to a player.

A roulette machine having a launch device including an automatic ball-change device is described. The ball-change device includes a rotatable main wheel comprising a plurality of pockets, and a rotatable switch wheel switching between an open position and a closed position. The main wheel receives and stores a plurality of roulette balls for future use and facilitates changing of a current game ball and, with the switch wheel, delivering the roulette ball to a launch start position or other desired output. The main wheel and the switch wheel may be independently rotatable, and coordinate with one or more sensors to determine a timing and delivery of a specifically-selected game ball to start a game cycle.
