A game board comprising a tapered playing field with walls rising from a perimeter thereof. The board comprises open receptacles arranged in a pattern or randomly on the playing field. A triangular pattern extends from an apex adjacent to a first wall to a base adjacent to a second wall. Each of the receptacles comprise a depth and a diameter sufficient to capture a ball used in the game. A movable track comprising a pair of rods comprising first and second ends is disposed above the field. The first ends are attached to a pivot disposed on the first wall and the second ends are inserted through an elongate opening in the second wall. The track is inclined from the pivot ends. A ball placed on the track near the pivot ends is urged to travel uphill along the track and dropped into a receptacle by manipulating the rods.

A game court with improved and adjustable back bumper may feature a back bumper pivotably attached by a band to an interlocking member of the playing court. The bumper may then have a reactive nature to contact by a rolling ball in play. Sliding locks may be utilized to lessen, or even eliminate, the reactive nature of the bumper.

A foosball table system is disclosed that includes a playing surface, a plurality of walls extending upward relative to the playing surface, wherein a plurality of rods extend through a first sidewall of the playing surface through a second sidewall of the playing surface, a first goal on a first end wall of the playing surface, a second goal on a second end wall of the playing surface, the second end wall opposite the first end wall, a first and second set of user input controls, a processor and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor and having logic stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes performance of operations including receive user input from either of the first set of user input controls or the second set of user input controls, and modifying gameplay of a foosball game currently being played using the foosball table system.

A pinball machine includes a pinball, a tabletop surface, and a play area on the tabletop surface. The play area includes a ramp including a raised surface rotatable about a rotational axis, an upward pass, and a downward pass. The upward pass extends between the tabletop surface and the raised surface and allows the pinball to move from the tabletop surface to the raised surface. The downward pass extends between the raised surface and the tabletop surface and allows the pinball to move from the raised surface to the tabletop surface.

Described herein are modular game tables configured to have freely removable and connectable insert panels to allow a single game table to be converted to accommodate different games or different configurations as needed. In some embodiments, the interchangeable insert panels can be utilized to convert the game tables between cornhole tables and beer pong tables as needed by users.

A software type pinball game enable players to change the background picture of the playfield and also to configure the game functional components via a drawn picture. Players can draw the picture on a paper, captures into any electronic image device, or using an electronic drawing device or application software to draw that picture into an electronic format and send to the game for conversion of game components.

An exemplary embellishment is configured for use with sports or recreational equipment having a flat/planar surface. The embellishment is in the form of a planar sheet including a front surface and a rear surface opposite the front surface. The planar sheet is sized and shaped to correspond to a size and shape of the planar surface of the equipment. The front surface comprises at least one ornamental marking and/or at least one functional marking. Each functional marking relates to performance of a sport or recreational activity corresponding to the equipment. The rear surface has disposed thereon an adhesive configured to removably secure the planar sheet to the planar surface.

A dice angle game is played on an apparatus that has a playing surface, at least one side wall, at least one barrier within the playing area, at least one demarcated scoring area, at least one enhanced scoring area of sufficient size for at least one die to enter, and a plurality of dice. The game is played by rolling a dice against a side wall and trying to have it land in a scoring area.

A conveyor device includes a supporter extending from a first end of a rotation axis to a second end thereof in a helical manner relative to the rotation axis, an encircling member that encircles at least a third portion of the supporter, the third portion being a portion between a first portion on the first end and a second portion on the second end, and at least one guide for a three-dimensional game object to move from the first end to the second end along with rotation of the supporter, the at least one guide extending from the first end to the second end within a gap between the supporter and the encircling member and being configured such that the guide in coordination with the supporter and the encircling member supports the three-dimensional game object when the three-dimensional game object moves from the first end to the second end.
