Random output generating system

A random output generating (ROG) system comprising:

• a motion device;
• and
• a display board comprising:
• a top portion having at least one release pocket;
• a plurality of receiving pockets forming a common row on an, opposite, bottom portion;
• and
• a plurality of obstacles arranged in a pattern between the top portion and the bottom portion;
• wherein the motion device is arranged such that when released from one of the at least one release pockets, it is transferred at least partly by gravitational force to one of the plurality of receiving pockets according to a random route via collisions with at least two of the plurality of obstacles, wherein the motion device is further arranged to complete the random route within a predetermined time period;
• wherein the motion device comprises a motion sensor for monitoring a movement of the motion device, control circuitry, and at least one illumination device, wherein the control circuitry is configured to control the at least one illumination device based on at least one of the movement of the motion device or a position of the motion device relative to the display board;
• and
• wherein the control circuitry is further configured to set the motion device in a power conserving mode when the motion device is stationary based on a signal indicative of the movement of the motion device obtained from the motion sensor, wherein the power conserving mode comprises deactivating the at least one illumination device.

• wherein the control unit comprises circuitry configured to:
• provide a graphical representation on the display, the graphical representation comprising at least one graphical element;
• randomly select one of the plurality of release pockets based on an output of a random number generating algorithm;
• and
• update the graphical representation on the display to emphasize the randomly selected one of the plurality of release pockets prior to the motion device being dropped from the randomly selected one of the plurality of release pockets;
• wherein the motion device is arranged such that when released from one of the plurality of release pockets, it is transferred at least partly by gravitational force to one of the plurality of receiving pockets according to a random route via collisions with at least two of the plurality of obstacles, and the motion device is further arranged to complete the random route within a predetermined time period;
• wherein the plurality of obstacles, the plurality of release pockets, and the plurality of receiving pockets are arranged between the front surface and the back surface of the display board, and the front surface of the display board is transparent such that the motion device is visible along the random route in the video stream;
• and
• wherein the motion device comprises control circuitry, a motion sensor for monitoring a movement of the motion device, and at least one illumination device, the control circuitry configured to control the at least one illumination device based on at least one of the movement of the motion device or a position of the motion device relative to the display board.
