A game object is used as a moving object to provide a random outcome event by movement and final stoppage in an outcome indicating position or mode. Examples are die, dice, balls, roulette balls, roulette wheels and pointers on candy wheel. The object has: A) a game object body; B) the game object body containing an accelerometer microchip or a receiver in communication with a transmitter, power source and light-emitting elements within the game object body, light from the light-emitting body being visible outside the game object body; and C) the microchip closing an electronic circuit for a period of time less than 5 minutes after the game body is moved.

A board game and method of play. The board game includes a plurality of game boards each having a circular path thereon, each of the circular paths having a plurality of angle spaces each corresponding to an angle between zero and three hundred sixty degrees, and a central space disposed on a center of each game board. Each player has a number of uniquely colored tokens. A first die is configured to provide an outcome of either one or zero when rolled, and a second die is configured to provide an outcome between zero and three hundred sixty when rolled. The method of play includes rolling each die and placing a token on a space corresponding to the outcome of each die roll. The game ends when one player aligns three tokens on a majority of the game boards.

A toy figurine and/or toy includes a body portion having an internal cavity, a substantially transparent portal through which contents of the internal cavity are viewable, and a die. The internal cavity includes a fluid and the die is freely floating in the fluid, and the die includes a plurality of faces. Each of these faces includes a visual element.

The present disclosure relates to an automated dice tossing apparatus comprising; a main body portion; an elongated toss-arm, having a proximal portion rotatably attached to said main body portion about a pivot axis, a vessel mounted to a distal portion of said toss-arm for holding at least one die; a pneumatic actuator configured to, upon actuation, move the toss-arm about the pivot axis with an ejection force such that at least one die held in the vessel is tossed away from said vessel towards a predefined target area; and control circuitry configured to randomly determine a magnitude of the ejection force within a predefined range in order to randomize a set of initial conditions for each actuation of the pneumatic actuator.

There is described an automated dice shaking mechanism for use for example in casinos. The dice shaking mechanism comprises a driving member; a drive shaft connected to the driving member and wherein the drive shaft is arranged in communication with a crank pin. The mechanism is operable such that the drive shaft is arranged to rotate about a drive shaft axis, the crank pin having a crank pin axis offset from the drive shaft axis; a control arm and a lifting member and wherein the control arm has a first end and an opposing second end. In the mechanism the first end is connected to the crank pin, the control arm is then arranged to move the lifting member along a vertical axis of the dice shaking mechanism. The lifting member comprises a frame attached to the second end of the control arm; and a platform attached to the frame, and in this way the platform movement provides the dice shaking and activation. The mechanism provides for improvements in reliability, repeatability and robustness of the casino gaming equipment.

A board and components kit including a board with a wagering section and a numeric display section, and components including dice, and a marking chip is provided. The wagering section includes an ante area, a horns bonus area, a doubles bonus area, an under area, and an over area segregated and separately marked thereon for placing an ante and wagers by one or more players. The wagering section includes predefined rules and criteria for winning, losing, and placing wagers. The numeric display section is marked with numeric indicia. The marking chip indicates a numeric total on the numeric display section after each roll of the dice. One or more actions are performed for determining winners or losers based on a numeric total of numeric indicia on exposed faces of the dice rolled for a first time and on or more subsequent times respectively.

The present disclosure generally relates to an automated gaming arrangement, specifically provided with means for reducing the need of continuous human surveillance. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method for operating such a gaming arrangement and a thereto related computer program product.

A dice rolling device (1) includes a housing (12) formed in a bottomed tubular shape that opens upward, and a plurality of pins {first and second pins (22, 24)} provided in the bottom portion of the housing (12). Further, the dice rolling device (1) includes a flat plate portion (8) with a plurality of through holes (9) through which the pins are inserted, and includes a dice stage (4) accommodated in the housing (12) movably in the vertical direction. The dice rolling device (1) further includes a spring member (31) that biases the dice stage (4) upward, a dome-shaped cover (2) that covers the flat plate portion (8) from above, and a die accommodated in a space (S1) surrounded by the cover (2) and the dice stage (4). The moving range of the dice stage (4) is the range between the lower limit position in which the pins (22, 24) extend through the through holes (9) and protrude above the flat plate portion (8) and the upper limit position in which the pins are accommodated in the through holes (9).

Hence, this invention can provide the dice rolling device (1) having high contingency of appearing dots of a die.

An improved system, apparatus and method for flipping gaming objects, such as dice, in a random, reliable manner. An object flipping platform can be contained within a container associated with an electronic gaming machine. The container can be at least partially transparent so that users (e.g., game players) are able to view the objects flipping. The object flipping platform can be used to flip objects (e.g., dice) from one side to an opposite side, and vice versa.

An aggregative dice shaker comprises: providing two or more dice cup devices and a control device. Each dice cup device includes a dice plate, a camera, and a shaking device. A plate surface of the dice plate is for placing the dices thereon. The camera faces toward the plate surface. The shaking device applies a reciprocating force to the dice plate. The control device receives an external control signal and activating the corresponding dice cup device, and outputs the game result as an output. Therefore players can play games using one dice cup device and games using multiple dice cup devices.
