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.

A mobile entertainment trailer, including at least one video game system disposed within the mobile entertainment trailer, at least one light disposed within the mobile entertainment trailer, a jukebox to play music within the mobile entertainment trailer, and a control panel disposed within the mobile entertainment trailer to control operation of the at least one light and the jukebox.

An arena includes a porous surface through which an airflow is output, thereby providing lift for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to push the UAV away from the porous surface. The airflow may also provide thrust to push the UAV in a direction that is parallel to the porous surface. The UAV may include one or more propellers that can provide lift, thrust, or both to the UAV. The airflow may be modified over a duration of time to modify lift or thrust to the UAV. The airflow may be modified based on regions of the arena to modify lift or thrust in different regions of the arena. The arena may include a scoreboard to display a score that may be modified as a result of actions undertaken by the UAV. Two or more UAVs may be used to play a game via the arena.

The present disclosure relates to a support system for a gaming table including a first support bar of a gaming-table support, a second support bar of a gaming-table support, a third support bar of a gaming-table support, and a gaming-table support locking apparatus. The third support bar has an arcuate shape and is in a pivotable connection with the second support bar. The gaming-table support locking apparatus includes a first locking bar and a second locking bar. The second locking bar is configured to be in one of two states of being: a first state that allows the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar; and a second state that prevents the third support bar to rotate with respect to the second support bar.

A cue sport soccer game is disclosed including a playing surface, a first goal, a second goal, and playing pieces. The cue sport soccer game includes one or more indicator objects and/or one or more move indicators. The cue sport soccer game is to be played with a cue stick. The playing pieces include field pieces that are configured to slide on the playing surface strategically when struck by the cue stick. The field pieces may be struck strategically lightly or heavily to cause a game ball to be trajected in a grounded fashion or an elevated fashion respectively.

A method of operating an electronic basketball scoreboard apparatus is disclosed. The method includes receiving a game parameter; operating a basketball game based upon the received game parameter; receiving a first indication of a ball passing through a first basketball hoop; receiving a second indication of a ball passing through a second basketball hoop; determining a first score of the basketball game based on the first indication from the first score sensor; determining a second score of the basketball game based on the second indication from the second score sensor; recording video of the basketball game; transmitting the recorded video; and transmitting the first score and the second score.

An attendant-free midway-style electronic game machine. The game machine may be configured to detect when a projectile has been actuated towards the target. An electronic controller in electronic communication with said detector, may be configured to automatically end a game play session once a predetermined number of said game projectiles have been detected as having been actuated by a user toward said target. And, a virtual attendant display is provided, in electronic communication with a game controller, to greet and instruct and interact with players in playing the game.

A simulated basketball game system for playing a game simulating a basketball game includes a plurality of closed loops each having a vertically oriented channel extending therethrough. The plurality of closed loops are radially arranged around a vertically oriented rod and positioned adjacent to a top end of the vertically oriented rod.

A toy apparatus includes a base piece having a distal end, a movable elongated member having a first end and a second end, and a tether coupled to the first end of the movable elongated member. Tension applied to the tether moves the movable elongated member from an open first position to a closed second position. The toy apparatus is configured to freely slide on a surface due to momentum generated when an initial pushing force is applied to the toy apparatus. The tension applied to the tether causes the tether to become taut, without other human contact to the toy apparatus. In the closed second position, the second end of the movable elongated member is closer to the distal end of the base elongated member, and the base elongated member and the movable elongated member are capable of retaining a target piece.
