Abstract: Provided is an amusement machine of the pusher type, including a playing surface on which playing pieces, as well as one or more prizes are supported, a playing piece pusher configured to move over the playing surface in order to disturb the playing pieces and one or more prizes supported on the playing surface; a transport system configured to transport a prize which has dropped over an edge; a first detection module configured to detect a prize which has dropped over the edge, at a first location, a second detection module configured to detect the prize at a second location; and a control unit configured to receive a first detection result from the first detection module and a second detection result from the second detection module, and to control the amusement machine in function of the first and/or second detection result.

Abstract: A gaming machine for picking up one object, and moving the object through a playing zone to a dispensing zone, the gaming machine includes a housing having at least one sidewall enclosing the playing zone and the dispensing zone, and a roof, said sidewall and roof being configured such that a standing zone is created below said roof outside the playing zone, a rail structure in the housing and extending in a first direction X, the rail structure being configured to move over said standing zone in a second direction Y, and a grabber attached to a carriage which is moveably attached to the rail structure, the carriage being configured to move along the rail structure, the grabber being configured to pick up the object.

Abstract: A pusher-type amusement machine that includes a motorized coin track assembly for the introduction of coins that has an track end that sweeps across a playfield and includes a base, a coin hopper for collection and ejecting coins and a track that extends from the coin hopper to a track end opening and a control switch to activate the hopper to push coins through the track so that they are ejected from the end of the track towards a playfield on the machine.

Abstract: Amusement machine of the pusher type, comprising a playing surface on which a plurality of playing pieces as well as one or more prizes are supported, wherein the prizes have a shape and/or size differing from the shape and/or size of a playing piece, and a playing piece pusher configured to move over the playing surface at successive points in time in order to disturb the plurality of playing pieces and prizes supported on the playing surface; a transport system with at least one collecting location for collecting the one or more playing pieces and prizes which have dropped over the edge, and at least one infeed location which lies higher than the at least one collecting location, which transport system is configured to reintroduce the one or more playing pieces and prizes onto the playing surface from the at least one infeed location; and to transport the one or more playing pieces and prizes from the at least one collecting location to the at least one infeed location.
