An arcade game with that allows a player to control the game using a video feedback plus a tactile response is provided. A player must use the video feed for controlling the game, and the video feed can be transmitted from a remote location. The video signal can be transmitted via the internet, a wireless connection, or a wired connection.

A game machine, comprising a housing with a plurality of upright walls, said housing being adapted to accommodate playing means, in particular pick-up means for picking up one or more objects; said upright walls of the housing comprising at least one translucent or semi-transparent panel; a pattern or array of single-color LEDs being provided on the inner side of the housing behind said at least one translucent or semi-transparent panel, said single-color LEDs being connected to a controller for controlling the combination and blending of red, blue and green colored single-color LEDs, said controller and said at least one translucent or semi-transparent panel being adapted to impart a determined impression of color to the at least one panel.

The present invention is directed to an arcade game with a rotating playing field and a radially projecting mechanism for moving targets located on the spinning mechanism board. Having the mechanism be radially projecting allows for more players by reducing the playing area that each player occupies. In a first embodiment, the player uses a vacuum mechanism. In another embodiment, the player uses a pusher to direct targets or prizes off the playing field in the radial direction. The pusher mechanism can push the targets toward the player (into a retrieval bin) or off the playing field at the center of the game. In a preferred embodiment, the game automatically replaces each displaced target with a new target so that the game always maintains the same number of targets on the playing field.

Disclosed herein is a battery operated vacuum scratch device that is small, powerful, handheld and cylindrical shaped primarily for use when scratching off and cleaning up the scrapings left behind from a scratch-off lottery cards. Activated by a power switch and battery, the vacuum scratch device comprises of a blade for scratching, along with a holding arrangement for holding a coin providing an alternate option for scratching, a catch-mouth suction of the debris, a light source, a grip on its body, battery compartment, a motor, a fan, an external vented port, a removable scratch card debris catch tray. The device becomes a scraping device through use of the scraper blade or coin mechanism which is affixed to one end of the unit near the vacuum accessory piece.

An arcade target game uses an extendable extraction device to enter a tube of cards in a horizontal direction. The prizes are protected by the tube's outer wall that limits successful attempts to those tries that avoid the wall. A vacuum source allows the extraction device to capture the prize if the extraction device successfully enters the tube. The extraction device's effective radius can be adjusted by extending projections that reduce the tolerance between the disk and the tube's outer wall.

An arcade game is disclosed having a modified three dimensional control of an acquisition device using three motors, pulleys, and belts that maneuver the acquisition device in three directions. Each belt is located in a pair of pulley wheels that have a grooved section that allows the belt to slip when the motor reaches an end of its cycle, eliminating the need for switches and clutches.
