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.

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.

An early education toy is configured to be used with a plurality of balls, and includes: a housing having a ball inlet and a ball outlet, and including a slideway therein, the slideway having an end connected with the ball inlet and another end connected with the ball outlet; a rotating part pivotably arranged to a bottom of the housing; a blocking part arranged in the housing, at least part of the blocking part being arranged in the ball outlet or at the end of the slideway adjacent to the ball outlet and configured to reciprocate to stop or release the ball; a driving part connected with the rotating part and the blocking part, and configured to drive the blocking part to move and to drive the rotating part to rotate relative to the housing.

A wireless electronic table game scoreboard is disclosed. An example scoreboard apparatus includes a data transmission module in wireless communication with a user device and configured to wirelessly receive a plurality of game parameters from the user device. The apparatus also includes a score sensor configured to detect a ball passing through a basketball hoop. The apparatus further includes a game execution module configured to operate a basketball game based upon the plurality of received game parameters and record a score of the basketball game based on signals received from the score sensor indicative of the ball passing through the hoop. Additionally, the apparatus includes a camera configured to record video of the basketball game. The data transmission module is configured to transmit the recorded video of the basketball game to the user device in connection with the recorded score.

Disclosed is the game apparatus using a train device constituted by cars of different sizes. The play ball lowered along the lane assembly may enter any one of the cars. Depending on the car into which the play ball enters, a predetermined reward may be provided to the player. The play ball entering the car deviates through the opening and rises through the elevating device. The raised play ball may be waited to descend again through the lane assembly.

A robotic gaming system is provided that includes a plurality of modular wall sections placed on playing surface. At least one robot is controlled by a player to navigate on the playing surface and interact with a plurality of scoring elements on the walls. A sensor associated with a scoring elements identifies when the robot successfully interacts with the scoring element to score a point.
