  • Patent number: 4789163
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an indoor horseshoe pitching game and is specifically concerned with providing an electronically controlled game which closely simulates the structure and method of play of the traditional outdoor game. Other electronic games such as bowling, darts and the like, utilize playing pieces which have no correspondence whatsoever to the playing pieces used in the original games and have no further correlation with respect to the degree of skill necessary from the original to the simulated game. Serious safety hazards also exist when bringing the outdoor game into the more confined fragile environment of the indoors when the horseshoes employed are of such a shape and form that their bounce or roll cannot be readily predicted upon striking or landing upon any unimproved receiving surface.
