the display board comprises: a top portion having a release pocket, a plurality of receiving pockets forming a common row on an, opposite, bottom portion, and a plurality of obstacles arranged in-between top portion and bottom portion; said motion device is arranged that when released from a release pocket, it is transferred partly by gravity to a receiving pocket according to a random route via collisions with said obstacles, said motion device is further arranged to complete the random route within a predetermined time period; the motion device comprises a motion sensor, control circuitry, and an illumination device, the control circuitry is configured to control the illumination device based on at least one of the movement of the motion device and a position of the motion device relative to the display board. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A random output generating, ROG, system comprising: a display board and a motion device; wherein the display board comprises: 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 in-between said top portion and said bottom portion; wherein said motion device is arranged such that when released from one of said at least one release pockets, it is transferred at least partly by gravitational force to one of said receiving pockets according to a random route via collisions with at least two of said plurality of obstacles, wherein said 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 and a position of the motion device relative to the display board. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, wherein the motion device comprises: a core portion in the shape of a cylindrical disc; and an annular bumper surrounding the circumference of said core portion; wherein the core portion comprises a top surface and a parallel bottom surface extending beyond the height of the bumper. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The ROG system according to claim 2, wherein the annular bumper comprises a resilient material, and wherein the top surface and the bottom surface of the motion device have a friction coefficient in relation to the display board below a predetermined threshold value. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, wherein the control circuitry is configured to activate the at least one illumination device such that the illumination device is active while said motion device is transferred at least partly by gravitational force towards one of said receiving pockets subsequently 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. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, 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 illumination device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, wherein the motion device further comprises a position sensor, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to set said motion device in a power conserving mode when said motion device is at a predetermined distance from the display board or when said motion device is located in a receiving pocket based on a signal indicative of a position of the motion device relative to the display board obtained from the position sensor, wherein the power conserving mode comprises deactivating the illumination device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The ROG system according to claim 6, wherein the power conserving mode further comprises deactivating the motion sensor. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of obstacles are arranged in a quincunx pattern. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined time period is in the range of 5-15 seconds. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, wherein the display board comprises an equal number of release pockets and receiving pockets. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The ROG system according to claim 1, further comprising at least one camera device arranged to monitor a front surface of the display board and to output data comprising a video stream of the display board, wherein the display board comprises the front surface and a back surface, wherein the plurality of obstacles, the at least one release pocket, and the plurality of receiving pockets are arranged between the front surface and the back surface; wherein the front surface is transparent such that the motion device is visible along the random route in the video stream. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The ROG system according to claim 11, wherein the back surface comprises a display, and wherein the display board further comprises: a plurality of release pockets; and a control device comprising a control unit 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 of the display so to emphasise the randomly selected release pocket prior to the motion device being dropped from the randomly selected release pocket. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The ROG system according to claim 11, wherein the back surface comprises a display, and wherein the display board further comprises: at least one receiving pocket sensor for monitoring a presence of the motion device in each of the plurality of receiving pockets; a control device comprising a control unit configured to: provide a graphical representation on the display, the graphical representation comprising at least one graphical element; detect a presence of the motion device in a resolved receiving pocket of the plurality of receiving pockets based on sensor data obtained from one of the at least one receiving pocket sensors; update the graphical representation on the display based on the detected presence of the motion device so to emphasise the resolved receiving pocket. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The ROG system according to claim 13, wherein the control unit of the control device is further configured to: provide the graphical representation on the display, the graphical representation comprising a plurality of graphical elements, each graphical element being associated with a corresponding receiving pocket of the plurality of receiving pockets; update the graphical representation based on the detected presence of the motion device by emphasizing the graphical element associated with the resolved receiving pocket. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The ROG system according to claim 14, wherein the control unit of the control device is further configured to: update the graphical representation by: visually expanding the graphical element associated with the resolved receiving pocket;
