The present disclosure provides a game scoring and tracking system, including a playing surface, a projectile, a central unit, at least one speaker, a first corner illuminated indicia, a second corner illuminated indicia, a third corner illuminated indicia, a fourth corner illuminated indicia, a first goal, and a second goal. The first goal and the second goal are configured to receive the projectile from the playing surface. The first goal and the second goal each include an at least one sensor communicatively coupled to the central unit. The at least one sensor detects the projectile entering the applicable goal. The at least one speaker outputs various sounds and the first corner illuminated indicia, the second corner illuminated indicia, the third corner illuminated indicia, and the fourth corner illuminated indicia illuminate in numerous sequences to indicate the status of a game event.

There is provided herein a stadium type gameplay system enhanced with a multimedia subsystem configured for various tasks including emulating a real-world stadium environment. Specifically, the multimedia subsystem comprises a multimedia processor which is configured for recording visual media data from a plurality of image sensors and detecting gameplay events utilising a plurality of hardware and/or software gameplay sensors. As such, in this way, when detecting various gameplay events, the multimedia processor is configured for displaying game replay multimedia utilising a plurality of visual media display devices. The multimedia processor is further configured for performing other autonomous actions when detecting various gameplay events.

Embodiments disclosed herein include methods and apparatus for tracking three-dimensional puzzle components using embedded signature and rotation sensors. A system of unique signatures enable the identification of the components by internal sensors and rotation sensors enable tracking the components as the move around on the puzzle surface. The system fosters greater enjoyment of the puzzles by offering interactive feedback and guidance. Competitions are also facilitated.

A game device of the present invention has a defining part for defining an opening to allow a prize to fall, an operation part for receiving input information, a prize support member for supporting the prize, wherein the prize support member is configured to be operable by that the operation part receives the input information, and an operation control unit for controlling movement of the prize support member. The prize support member is provided above the opening so as to expose the opening. This makes it possible to provide a game device which is capable of effectively utilizing a space inside a housing and having enhanced amusement.

A handheld electronic game includes a housing assembly; resilient domes protruding from the housing assembly; and a programmable, interactive system and at least one light emitting diode mounted within the housing, electrically connected to the programmable, interactive system. The housing assembly has a front housing portion and a rear housing portion. Each of the domes has a first surface and a second surface. The domes can transition from a first position where the first surface is convex to a second position where the second surface is convex. The programmable, interactive system includes a microprocessor and a sensor. The sensor is electrically connected to the microprocessor and senses when one or more of the domes transitions from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position. The domes can be returned to their first position with a reset mechanism or manually.

Example game systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a sensing device determines an identity of a game piece in a physical space and detects a movement action associated with the game piece. A computing device calculates a distance and direction associated with the movement action and determines a result of the movement action based on the distance, the direction, and the identity of the game piece.

Systems and methods may provide for determining an identity of an interchangeable overlay adjacent to a detection mat of a floor-based game management apparatus and detecting foot-based user input via an array of sensors distributed across a surface of the detection mat. Additionally, game-related user feedback may be output via one or more speakers of the floor-based game management apparatus based at least in part on the foot-based user input and the identity of the interchangeable overlay. In one example, at least a portion of the game-related user feedback is output via an array of light sources distributed across the surface of the detection mat.

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for live action gaming.

An interactive electronic toy and a method for providing a challenge to a user using the toy. The toy includes a housing and a plurality of buttons, each button associated with at least one illuminator and with at least one pressure sensor. The method includes receiving a selection of a specific challenge, said specific challenge being selected from a challenge repository associated with the interactive electronic toy, and providing to the user instructions for completing said specific challenge. The method further includes receiving a challenge response from the user, in which the user responds to said specific challenge by at least one of moving the housing of the interactive electronic toy and depressing at least one of the plurality of buttons, providing feedback to the user, based on said received challenge response.

A microcontroller-based casino token counting system including one or more token bins comprising a casino dealer token tray suitable for receiving and holding stacks of tokens for the purpose of counting the tokens and calculating both quantities for each bin and total monetary values for all tokens in the dealer tray. Detection of token quantity in each bin is accomplished in various embodiments including Contact Image Sensors, Linear Image Sensors, and methods of converting both reflected light from each token, or detection of shadows cast by tokens using ambient casino lighting. Tray data from all bins is thus displayed to the operator, stored, and/or transmitted for the purpose of remote monitoring.
