Abstract
The present invention relates to a hitting game machine and method for multiple persons. The hitting game machine includes a rotating circular plate, a plurality of targets, hitting object guides installed to cover sections, target sensing units provided for respective sections, display units for displaying free gifts, and target erection units. Accordingly, the present invention is advantageous in that a plurality of game players can selectively fell targets in consideration of the rotating speed of the circular plate and the descending speed of hitting objects, thus increasing interest in the game.
Claims18
A hitting game machine for multiple persons, comprising:
- a circular plate divided into one or more sections and configured to rotate;
- a plurality of targets hingedly coupled to the circular plate and provided on outer circumferences of the sections of the circular plate so that the targets are rotatable at a predetermined angle due to being hit, the targets including identifiers provided on bottoms thereof;
- a plurality of hitting object guides fixedly installed on a portion of the circular plate in a direction of the targets and installed to cover the sections of the circular plate, the hitting object guides being configured such that hitting object inlets are formed at first ends thereof and the hitting object guides guide hitting objects so that each of the hitting objects inserted into the inlets moves and hits one of the plurality of targets;
- target sensing units provided across the sections of the circular plate so that the target sensing units sense targets, which have been felled by the hitting objects, using identifiers of the targets;
- display units provided on portions of the hitting object guides to display bonus points or free gifts for the targets sensed by the target sensing units;
- and
- target erection units installed next to corresponding target sensing units in a rotating direction of the circular plate and configured to restore targets, which have rotated due to being hit by the hitting objects, to their original positions.
A hitting game method for multiple persons, comprising:
- a) rotating a circular plate which is divided into one or more sections and is provided with a plurality of targets, the targets being installed on outer circumferences of the sections and having identifiers provided on bottoms thereof;
- b) one or more hitting objects, which move along hitting object guides installed to cover the sections, hitting targets in the sections of the rotating circular plate;
- c) sensing targets, felled by the hitting objects, using the identifiers of the targets;
- d) displaying bonus points or free gifts for the sensed targets;
- and
- e) restoring the felled targets to their original positions.
