A game apparatus is disclosed that comprises a plurality of tokens including first tokens and second tokens, a frame arranged to define multiple pathways along which the tokens can move under force of gravity, and a retainer arranged to controllably retain the tokens relative to the pathways. The retainer is movable between a first position wherein the retainer retains the tokens relative to the pathways, and a second position wherein the tokens can move under force of gravity. The game apparatus also includes a separating mechanism arranged to direct the first tokens towards a first collection zone and to direct the second tokens towards a second collection zone. The separating mechanism comprises a first separating component associated with each first token and at least one second separating component associated with the frame.

A flipper drain device of a pinball machine is provided, including a fixed rack and a drain and ball-striking assembly. The fixed rack is mounted in the pinball machine and includes guide rods. The drain and ball-striking assembly is mounted to the guide rods, such that the drain and ball-striking assembly is leftward/rightward movable but not rotatable on the guide rods. The drain and ball-striking assembly has a drain opening and a flipper provided at each of a left part and right part thereof. The drain and ball-striking assembly includes an operation table, which is provided with an operation member. The operation member controls the drain and ball-striking assembly to selectively move leftward/rightward. The operation table is provided with an operation button on each of a left part and a right part thereof for respectively controlling the flippers of the drain and ball-striking assembly to rotate.

A front cabinet panel piece, a back panel cabinet piece, a first side cabinet panel piece, and second side cabinet panel piece, each having a plurality of pre-formed openings, are arranged relative to one another to form an amusement game cabinet. The plurality of pre-formed openings are used to accept a corresponding plurality of knock-down hardware pieces each including a fastener locking component and a fastener. The fastener locking components are held within respective first ones of the pre-formed openings and the fastener is inserted into second ones of the pre-formed openings that are aligned with the first ones of the plurality of pre-formed openings. Each fastener is mated to its corresponding fastener locking component to complete assembly of the amusement game cabinet. The assembled amusement game cabinet is used to support a playfield and the playfield, in turn, is used to provide additional structural support to the amusement game cabinet.

Systems, methods, and devices implement game units that have reduced power consumption. Game units include housings and game boards coupled to the housings and configured to receive and hold a plurality of game pieces. The game units further include insert assemblies coupled to the housings and configured to receive payment from a user. The game units also include gating devices coupled to the game boards and configured to hold game pieces in the game boards when in a first position, and further configured to release game pieces from the game boards when in a second position. The game units also include mechanical devices configured to return the gating device to the first position from the second position after a designated period of time, and catches configured to receive game pieces from the game board through the gating device.

An apparatus and related methods for playing marbles games. The apparatus is a circular or polygonal playing board or ring, which encompasses a playing surface. A top ring extends above the playing board along its outer circumference, and may extend over the outer perimeter of the playing board, allowing marbles struck off the playing surface to pass underneath into a marble collection mechanism. Marbles drop onto a sloped guide track, and then roll down to one of a plurality of collections slots.
