A game piece assembly includes: a front surface formed in a first predetermined shape and including a predetermined number of pips, a back surface formed in a second predetermined shape, a side surface extending between the front and back surfaces, wherein the front surface, the back surface and the side surface define a hollow space that is configured to hold a prize therein in a closed configuration.

A crane game with a vacuum head adapted to pick up objects with a smooth extraction surface is disclosed wherein the objects, or targets, include perforations that present a more challenging target by reducing the available extraction surface. Targets include one or more perforations that may prevent a seal from being formed with the suction head, denying extraction of the target by the vacuum head. Values may be assigned to the targets based on the number of perforations.

Systems, devices, and methods for a system for a 3-D combination puzzle cube. A game device may include: an outer shell defining a set of guide channels, an inner shell housed within the outer shell, a tumbler system housed within the inner shell, and a set of cube components configured to slide across the set of guide channels, where the set of cube components are arranged to form a 333 cube, and where at least four cube components on each side of the formed 333 cube have an imprinted chess piece.

A claw machine includes a machine body, a plurality of target objects, a shuffling unit and a controlling unit. The machine body includes a cabinet that defines an inner space, a claw mechanism, and a prize outlet for providing a prize object. The target objects are disposed in the inner space, and each contains first game information. The shuffling unit includes a shuffling mechanism that is configured to, when interacting with one of the target objects, generate and output second game information. The controlling unit includes a sensing component for detecting the first game information from the one of the target objects, a receiving component connected to the shuffling mechanism for receiving the second game information therefrom, and a processor configured to determine whether to control the prize outlet to provide a prize object based on the first game information and the second game information received during a game.

The mobile device-enabled portable reward dispensing machine is a portable reward or gift-dispensing machine (i.e., hardware) controlled by two smart phone or tablet apps/software. The integrated system is designed to reward the players of a game with gifts awarded to that specific player as a result of their game play. A dispenser is loaded with reward gifts that are capable or being dispensed through a vending or exit port under control of the two apps. The dispenser includes a microcontroller unit integrated into the dispenser and two sensors. A first of the two sensors ensures the presence of gifts within the dispensing unit available for use, while the second sensor ensures that no reward gifts are stuck on the exit door or chute. The dispenser is Wi-Fi- or Bluetooth enabled, with direct connection to the two phone apps. The two apps work independently to assist in proper reward gift dispensing.

The prize acquisition game device includes: a crane configured to acquire a prize; a housing having a housing space in which a prize is disposed on an exhibition part including: a first prize placement plate that defines an opening area; and a second prize placement plate that covers a portion of the opening area and defines a drop port area; and a support that supports the second prize placement plate to be switchable between a straight arrangement and a diagonal arrangement. In the straight arrangement, the second prize placement is shifted from the first prize placement plate in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a front-back direction or a left-right direction of the housing. In the diagonal arrangement, the second prize placement is shifted from the first prize placement plate in a diagonal direction intersecting the front-back direction or the left-right direction.

An amusement game is characterized by a wheel mounted for rotation in a vertical plane on a support member and a control arm to rotate the wheel which also has a plurality of prize containers at winning positions located at angular positions around the wheel wherein each of the containers has a radial passage that may align with a winning position and in alignment with a prize distribution area so when the wheel stops at a winning location, a prize retainer member is moved out of the passage allowing a prize in the container to drop from the wheel to the prize distribution area.
