Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an enrichment device. The enrichment device may comprise a body, a cap, a retaining mechanism, a release mechanism, an attachment mechanism. The body may comprise a hollow cavity within the enrichment device that may allow for objects to pass through the body. The release mechanism may comprise an external attached device. In some embodiments, the release mechanism may operate electronically. The attachment mechanism may allow a plurality of orientations of the enrichment device. The body may comprise external tracks that may allow for one or more attachment locations via the attachment mechanism. The release mechanism may exert a passive retention force that may be overcome through a sufficient volume of material applying force on the retaining mechanism from within the enrichment device. In some implementations, one or more enrichment devices may be used in unison.

Abstract: A game system may provide a plurality of cards, at least one token and a token storage and distribution system. The plurality of cards may each have at least one indicium representing a value. The token(s) may have a value that is substitutable for at least a portion of the value associated with the card. The token storage and distribution system comprises a slot for depositing the token(s) into the token storage and distribution system. The slot corresponds to a storage compartment that further comprises sub-compartments and a diverter to direct the deposited token into one of the sub-compartments. The token storage and distribution system defines one of more locations for positioning one or more build piles for the cards being played. The player may select to access one of the sub-compartments according to a rule set and acquire the token(s) present, if any, in the selected sub-compartment.

Abstract: A lottery game apparatus includes a distribution section (discharge section) that discharges a ball that has been discharged in response to an operation input performed using an operation section, a plurality of open areas that receive the ball that has fallen from the distribution section, a plurality of lottery sections that implement a lottery using the ball, a moving path that guides the ball that has fallen into a first open area to a first lottery section, a moving path that guides the ball that has fallen into a second open area to a second lottery section, and a moving path that guides the ball that has fallen into a third open area to a third lottery section. The distribution section changes the discharge position or the discharge direction of the ball.

Abstract: A game, similar to craps, is described, where two marbles may be thrown by the players into a spinning machine. The spinning machine may include a funnel at the top of the machine into which the players may throw the marbles, a cylinder through which the marbles may pass, and a spinner to spin 12 slots that may receive the marbles from the cylinder. Two marbles may be thrown into the funnel and may exit into a first set of six slots, which may be numbered from 1-6 (or A, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) of one suit (such as hearts), and a second set of six slots, similarly numbered, or a different suit (such as spades). The two slots into which the marbles fall may equate to two dice being rolled in certain traditional craps games. A table may be designed specifically for the game, wherein up to eight players may play at the same time.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing an arcade game with multiple moving elements, where a player must engage all moving elements with a playing piece to engage a target and earn a reward. The game apparatus has a guiding member having a first motion, a target surface having a second motion, and a playing piece initiated into the game apparatus by a player. The playing piece engages the guiding mechanism having a first motion. In order to properly engage the target surface having a second motion, the player must initiate the playing piece at a proper time such that the guiding mechanism guides the playing piece to the target.

Abstract: A skill based game employing kickers to direct coins falling over the edge of a catcher plate to a player's hopper. The players deposit coins in a slot which directs the coins to a first catcher plate. Coins are pushed over the edge of this catcher plate to a second catcher plate where they are further pushed toward the edge of the second catcher plate. As coins accumulate, coins may fall over the edge of the second catcher plate. Kickers are disposed below the second catcher plate under a player's control. If a player employs the kicker correctly, the coins falling over the edge of the second catcher plate are directed to a player's hopper. If the player fails to employ the kickers correctly, coins fall into a hopper and are retained by the operator of the machine.

Abstract: An amusement article utilizing multiple balls comprising: an upper chamber with multiple spherical members of varying sizes colors, all spherical members of the same size bearing the same color, a second chamber located below the upper chamber, and receiving the spherical members from the upper chamber through opening of a valve. A ball distribution device is located within the second chamber and functions to sort all spherical members according to their size and color. Vertical cylindrical chambers are located below the second chamber function to receive the spherical members from the ball distribution device. Each cylindrical chamber receives spherical members of one size and color only. A lower chamber is located below the cylindrical chambers and functions to receive all spherical members through opening of a release member located at a bottom portion of the cylindrical chambers. A bottom reservoir is located below the lower chamber and functions to receive spherical members from the lower chamber.

Abstract: A vending machine is combined with a game of skill and chance. A ball or other generally spherical item of merchandise is dispensed onto an intermediate carrier each time the player deposits an adequate amount of money. The player causes the ball to be ejected from the carrier, which may simulate a dump truck, onto an upper portion of a slanted playing surface and attempts to cause the ball to contact a target as it rolls down the slanted playing surface. The apparatus awards a prize or a prize credit of some sort if a target is struck, and, in some versions, may aggregate credits for multiple games. Whether or not the ball strikes the target, it eventually falls into a delivery chute from which the player can retrieve it.
