摘要： A virtual shuffleboard table gaming apparatus including a housing having a playing field, a game acquisition circuit, and a display. As a puck is propelled towards a puck return at the distal end of the playing field, the puck temporarily obstructs at least two beams from transmitters. Sensors that receive the transmitted beams provide information to the game acquisition circuit indicative of the time when the beams were blocked and unblocked. The duration of time the beams are block are used by a game controller to calculate the angle of travel, location, and velocity of the puck. This information is then used by the game controller to determine the travel path and resting place of a virtual puck on a virtual playing field, as well as determine whether the virtual puck rests in a scoring zone and maintain a game score.

摘要： A horizontal circular disc is disposed upon and is manually rotatable about the center of a square shaped horizontal top. A depressed central circular area of the disc simulates the green of a hole of a golf course and has an offset depression simulating the cup. The outer annular area is divided into a plurality of sectors of like area by radial lines. Each sector has a differently contoured top surface with roughened and smooth sections simulating the arrangement of different holes other than the green. Flat like horizontal ring shaped members (raceways) each have a plurality of spaced balls (ball bearings) therein, each ball being individually rotatable therein and having a bottom portion which extends below the member and engages the top surface of the disc when the member is place therein. Each member is dimensioned to fit into the depression and simulates a golf ball. A start position is marked on the table top. Each player in turn strikes his member with his finger to move his "ball" along the course.

摘要： A cue-game comprising a table edged by uncushioned solid rails, and a number of sliding, generally cup-shaped, circular disks to be shot over said table by means of a cue. Each sliding disk has a resilient, skirt-like flange portion to bounce well and a height substantially exceeding that of the table rails. The inner walls of the table rails lean slightly inwards over the smooth and hard table surface.

摘要： A method for playing a value-variable game of chance includes providing a random number generator including one or more walls forming a grid, the grid including an entrance zone and a finishing zone, and the grid being configured to support a transit of a puck from the entrance zone to the finishing zone; providing the finishing zone as including two or more finishing positions, each of the finishing positions configured to receive the puck, and each of the finishing positions being assigned a different finishing position value; providing the grid as including one or more deflectors; introducing a puck into the grid at the entrance zone and subjecting the puck to a force to drive the puck to the finishing zone, and allowing the puck to be deflected off any of the deflectors that it impacts during the puck's transit.
