Abstract: A blocking mechanism for a table-type amusement game, and a table-type amusement game equipped with a blocking mechanism. The blocking mechanism utilizes a series of blocking pins goes from a closed position, which blocks a playing piece from scoring to an upper open position, which permits the playing piece to score. The blocking mechanism may be manually or electrically operated. When the blocking mechanism is electrically operated, it may be activated by the insertion of a coin into a coin and/or bill acceptor of the type found on table-type amusement games.

Abstract: A coin-operated item vending and game apparatus includes a coin-operated item vending machine and a game module. The vending machine includes a support base, coin deposit, vendable items dispenser, globe and elongated central support member. The game module includes a housing, target and flexible resilient lever. The housing is disposed within the globe. The target is disposed within the housing. The lever is disposed below the target and extends through the housing and globe such that an outer end of the lever is disposed exteriorly of the globe. A depression defined on the lever receives a coin. The outer end of the lever is manually depressed downwardly by the user causing bending of the lever from an initial condition and creating an upward force because of the resiliency of the lever. Release of the lever by the user allows the lever to spring back to its initial condition and toss the coin upwardly such that the coin will either make or miss the target depending on the skill of the user.

Abstract: An arcade game which can have simulated objects, such as race horses traversing a simulated race track, can further have video images generated which will represent the same positional relationship of the objects. The track can positionally sense the actual position of the moving objects and an image forming circuit can be responsive to the positional data to generate computer images from a variety of angles based on background images of the track and of the individual horses to project a realistic computer image for observers.

Abstract: A toy bank of the coin-operated type including a housing having a coin storage region and an external action surface, a coin-receiving opening in the surface communicating with the storage region, an electrically-operated coin propelling mechanism carried by the housing for moving a coin along the surface and through the opening, and a pair of electrical contacts carried by the housing connected in controlling relation to the propelling mechanism and positioned to receive a coin placed thereon to bridge the contacts. When the coin is placed on both contacts it completes an electrical circuit through the coin to operate the propelling mechanism to move the coin along the action surface through the opening and into the storage region. The propelling mechanism can comprise an electric motor and coin striking member fixed to the motor shaft. The striking member can simulate an athletic game player such as a hockey player and the coin receiving opening can simulate the game scoring area such as a hockey net.

Abstract: A basketball game having a coin operated switch to release basketballs to a player and to initiate a timing circuit. The player attempts to convert as many baskets as possible during the time interval of the game. The basketball hoop has means to indicate when a score has been made. Visual display means are provided to indicate the score made, the time interval remaining in which the player can attempt to score and the number of successively won games. In one embodiment, the game ends when the time interval expires. In another embodiment, the game ends when the time interval expires or when a predetermined number of balls have been thrown, whichever occurs first. Solid state circuits may reset the game for free rounds of play and control the dispensing of prize tickets as a function of the game score and of the number of successively won games.
