The control unit is configured to control the light source units and the sound source units to output light or sound according to patterns, which depend on an occurrence of an event.

Disclosed is a dart game apparatus according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game apparatus may include: a dart target capable of accommodating a thrown dart pin; a sensing unit sensing a hit location of a thrown dart pin; a controller determining score information depending on each of one or more dart pins thrown by a first player based on information on the hit location, which is received from the sensing unit, determining the determined respective score information of the first player to be output in response to throwing of the respective dart pins, permitting a second player to throw the dart pins when it is sensed that a round of the first player ends, determining the score information depending on each of one or more dart pins thrown by the second player, comparing the determined respective score information of the second player with current score information of the first player, and determining whether the current score information depending on throwing of the dart pins of the second player is output in association with comparison result information based on a result of the comparison; and an output unit outputting the score information depending on the throwing of the dart pins and the result information of the comparison according to the control by the controller.

Provided is a dart game apparatus including: a body part in which a dart target is installed on a front surface; a support unit including a coupling unit coupled to an upper side of the body part and an extension unit formed to extend toward a front surface of the coupling unit; and a lid unit rotatably coupled to the support unit through at least one hinge.

The present disclosure relates to a dart game device interworking with at least one external device. The dart game device includes a dart target having a plurality of point regions, a sensing unit configured to sense a hit to the dart target by a dart, a light source unit configured to output light in a light pattern, a sound source unit configured to output sound in a sound pattern, and a communication unit configured to communicate with the external device and control the external device to output light in the light pattern or to output sound in the sound pattern. The light and sound patterns depend on an occurrence of an event.

Disclosed are a dart game apparatus and a dart game system according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The dart game system includes: a dart game apparatus; and a dart game assistant apparatus which is positioned outside the dart game apparatus and communicates with the dart game apparatus, in which the dart game apparatus includes a dart target having a sensing unit sensing a hit of a thrown dart pin and receiving the dart pin, a body structure including a display area formed to surround an exterior of the dart target and receiving an image projected from an image projector positioned outside the dart target apparatus and outputting the received image to be viewed by a user or outputting the image generated in the display area to be viewed by the user, and a controller controlling operations of the dart game apparatus, in which the dart game assistant apparatus includes a user interface unit outputting information related to execution of a dart game and receiving an input from the user.

A multiple target electronic dart gaming machine includes multiple targets mounted on opposite sides of a game board of a target assembly that is housed in a cabinet of the gaming machine. A visual display video monitor provides players and observers with game scores and the like. The game board may be axially rotated between at least first and second positions so as to allow game play on the different targets which can be moved into and out of position to aid in gameplay such as deciding which player goes first. Additionally, the position of the game board may be detected through the use of a detector on or in the board.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for providing a virtual player in a dart game and a computer program stored in a computer readable medium. The dart game apparatus may include: an ability information acquiring module acquiring ability information of at least one real player that participates in a dart game; a characteristic determining module determining a characteristic of at least one virtual player that participates in the dart game according to the ability information, wherein the characteristic being associated with a dart game execution ability of the at least one virtual player; a dart game providing module providing the dart game so that at least one virtual player having the determined characteristic plays the dart game together with the at least one real player; and a display unit outputting an image for the dart game.

The present disclosure relates to a dart game device and a dart game method for providing a betting mode in a dart game, and a computer-readable medium, and provides a betting mode game method which accumulates credits paid by a player, and calculates and returns the credits. In addition, provided are a device for implementing the method and the computer-readable medium for implementing the method on a computer.

Disclosed is a method of providing a dart game image performed by a dart game device participating in a play session which imposes a play time constraint to two or more devices. The method may include: displaying, on a display unit, a first object displaying first information related to a first device among two or more devices participating in the play session and a second object displaying second information related to a second device; receiving play-related data of devices participating in the play session; and determining, based on the received play-related data, whether to change a relative position of the first object and the second object.
