Abstract
A dice shaker device and method for providing a randomized state of at least one die. The dice shaker device includes a dice plate, a dice plate actuator configured to apply a reciprocating force to the dice plate, a casing, a circumferential ridge surface extending around an outer perimeter of the dice plate, and a dice rolling space at least partly defined by the casing, the dice plate, and the circumferential ridge surface. The circumferential ridge surface can be arranged in parallel with an upper surface of the dice plate, and the circumferential ridge surface can have a width that is equal to or less than half a width of the at least one die that the dice shaker device is arranged to provide a randomized state of.
Claims20
A random output generating 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 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;
- and
- wherein the control circuitry is further configured to activate the at least one illumination device such that the at least one illumination device is active while the motion device is transferred at least partly by gravitational force towards one of the plurality of receiving pockets subsequent to being released from one of the at least one release pockets based on a signal indicative of the movement of the motion device obtained from the motion sensor.
