[0160] According to one embodiment, the trigger result indicator may include a trigger result indicator light unit that can be controlled by the control module 300, which, for example, includes at least one trigger result indicator light. According to one embodiment, the activation (lighting or extinguishing) and status (lighting color, brightness, whether flashing, flashing frequency, etc.) of the trigger result indicator light can be individually controlled by the control module 300. For example, the control module 300 can control one or more trigger result indicator lights of the trigger result indicator light unit to light up or flash, while the other lights remain extinguished. Optionally, the color and / or brightness of each trigger result indicator light can be variable. According to one embodiment, the trigger result indicator light unit can be a group of LED lights. According to one embodiment, each indicator light in the trigger result indicator light unit is addressable. Thus, the control module 300 can send a control signal with an address, and such a control signal is transmitted to and applied to the indicator light corresponding to the address carried.

[0161] According to some embodiments, the display module 400, 400' may include an emergency event category indicator, which is configured to be controllable by the control module 300 to provide an emergency event category indication.

[0164] According to some embodiments, in addition or alternatively, the display module 400, 400' may include an emergency location indicator, which is configured to be controllable by the control module 300 to provide an emergency location indication. Figure 4As shown, the emergency location indicator may include at least one emergency location indicator light unit 441a, 441b that can be controlled by the control module 300, and each emergency location indicator light unit 441a, 441b includes, for example, at least one emergency location indicator light. According to one embodiment, the activation and status of each indicator light in the emergency location indicator light units 441a, 441b can be controlled individually. More specifically, the color and / or brightness and / or flashing frequency of each indicator light is variable. Exemplarily, the emergency location indication is composed of at least one of numbers, colors, patterns, letters, text, light brightness, light lighting position, and light flashing mode. According to one embodiment, the emergency location indicator light units 441a, 441b are LED light units, which may include at least one LED light. More specifically, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the display module 400 may include emergency location indication panels 440a, 440b, 440a', 440b' arranged corresponding to the corresponding emergency location indicator light units 441a, 441b, for presenting an emergency location indication. According to one embodiment, instead of the emergency location indicator light unit or in addition, the emergency location indicator may include an emergency location pointer assembly that can be controlled by the control module 300. According to one implementation, the emergency location pointer assembly may include a set of emergency location indication options arranged on the display panel of the display module 400, 400', a pointer, and a driver connected to the pointer, wherein the driver can be controlled by the control module 300 to drive the pointer to randomly point to an emergency location indication option, thereby providing an emergency location indication.

[0165] According to some embodiments, Figure 1-4 As shown, the display modules 400, 400' may further include one or more display units referred to as second display units, each of which includes a trigger result indicator that can be controlled by the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300. According to one embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the trigger result indicator includes a trigger result indicator light unit that can be controlled by the control module 300. According to one embodiment, the activation and status of each indicator light of the trigger result indicator light units 421a, 421b, and 421c can be controlled individually. According to one embodiment, each second display unit includes a corresponding second display panel 420a, 420b, 420c, 420a', 420b', and 420c', on which the trigger result indicator light can be displayed.

According to one embodiment, each second display unit is used to display the emergency event category indication and / or the emergency event location indication for a given one or more emergency events. According to one embodiment, the second display unit is configured to display the emergency event category indication through color, and display the emergency event location indication through symbols, patterns, letters, text, etc.

[0166] It should be noted that, in the context of this document, ordinal numbers such as "first," "second," and "third" are merely used to distinguish components from one another and do not have any substantial limiting effect. For example, in an embodiment, a device including a "second" component does not necessarily include a "first" component, and vice versa.

[0167] According to some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the trigger result indicator light units 421a, 421b, 421c mentioned above, the individual indicator lights 410a, 410b, 410c, 410d, 410e, 410f of the optional emergency category indicator light unit and / or the optional emergency location indicator light unit can be directly set on the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300.

[0168] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-4As shown, the intelligent game control device 10, 10' may further include at least one emergency locker 500a, 500b, 500a', 500b', wherein the emergency locker 500a, 500b is configured to lock the location of at least one of the emergency events. More specifically, when the emergency trigger 200, 200' triggers an emergency, the corresponding game participant can lock the trigger result indication using the corresponding emergency locker 500a, 500b, 500a', 500b'. According to one embodiment, the corresponding game participant can lock one or more corresponding game positions by locking the emergency location indication displayed by the display module 400. According to an exemplary embodiment, the control module 300 is configured such that when the trigger result of the emergency trigger 200, 200' is that a certain emergency is to occur, the control module 300 controls the trigger result indicator, such as the emergency position indicator light units 441a, 441b mentioned above, to provide a transformed emergency position indication. At this time, the emergency position indication can indicate one or more game positions where the emergency occurs. The emergency lockers 500a, 500b, 500a', 500b' are configured to be operable to lock the trigger result indicator, such as the emergency position indication provided by the emergency position indicator light units 441a, 441b, that is, after locking, the emergency position indication displayed by the trigger result indicator, such as the emergency position indicator light units 441a, 441b, no longer changes, but stays at the locked emergency position indication. The locked emergency position indication determines the actual location where the emergency may occur. This further enhances human-computer interactivity and game fun, and creates greater appeal to game participants. Figure 2-4 As shown, the intelligent game control devices 10, 10' can be used in a multi-party game scenario. In this case, multiple emergency lockers 500a, 500b, 500a', 500b' can be set, preferably each party has one emergency locker 500a, 500b, 500a', 500b', so as to facilitate the operation of each party.

[0169] According to some embodiments, the emergency locker 500a, 500b, 500a', 500b' includes a lock trigger module, which is configured to provide a lock trigger signal. The lock trigger signal can be received by the control module 300, for example, its main control circuit board 310, and then the control module 300 locks the emergency position indication displayed by the display module 400, 400' in response to the lock trigger signal, thereby locking one or more game positions 111 where the emergency occurs. According to some embodiments, the lock trigger module is configured to issue a lock trigger signal based on a response to a lock trigger input provided by a game participant. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, the lock trigger input provided by the game participant includes one or more of pressing, rotating, touching, game participant action and sound. As Figure 2-3 As shown, according to one embodiment, each locking trigger module includes locking trigger buttons 510a, 510b, 510a', 510b' as locking trigger input components, for game participants to provide locking trigger inputs. Figure 4 As shown, the lock trigger module includes lock trigger sensing components 520a and 520b that are communicatively connected to the control module 300. The lock trigger sensing components 520a and 520b are, for example, directly disposed on the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300. The lock trigger sensing components 520a and 520b are configured to emit a lock trigger signal in response to a lock trigger input provided by a game participant. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, the lock trigger sensing components 520a and 520b include an electric induction device, an electromagnetic induction device, a photoelectric induction device, or a mechanical trigger switch.

[0170] According to some embodiments, one or more of the emergencies are designed so that, when triggered by an emergency trigger 200, 200', the emergency can be effective for one game step, or can be continuously effective for multiple game steps. For example, the freeze event mentioned above can be continuously effective for 2-4 game steps. The control module 300 is further configured to control the display modules 400, 400' to continuously provide a category indication and / or location indication of the emergency across multiple game steps.

[0171] According to some embodiments, the emergency trigger 200, 200' includes a trigger module configured to provide a trigger signal. The control module 300, such as its main control circuit board 310, is further configured to receive the trigger signal and, in response to the trigger signal, control the display module 400, 400' to provide a trigger result indication regarding the trigger result of the emergency trigger 200, 200'. Alternatively or additionally, the control module 300, such as its main control circuit board 310, is further configured to receive the trigger signal and, in response to the trigger signal, control the sound module to provide an audible prompt regarding the trigger result. According to one embodiment, the trigger module is configured to emit a trigger signal in response to a trigger input provided by a game participant. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, the trigger input may include one or more of pressing, rotating, touching, a game participant action, and sound. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, a game participant action may include a gesture; alternatively or additionally, a game participant action may include a non-gesture action. According to some embodiments, the trigger module includes a trigger sensing component that is communicatively connected to the control module 300. The trigger sensing component is configured to emit a trigger signal in response to a trigger input provided by a game participant. The trigger signal is received by the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310. By way of example, but not exclusive, the trigger sensing component includes an electric induction device, an electromagnetic induction device, a photoelectric induction device, or a mechanical trigger switch.

[0172] According to some embodiments, Figure 8-11As shown, the trigger module further includes button-type trigger input members 210, 210', which are configured to be pressed by a game participant to provide a trigger input and are configured to interact with a trigger sensing component. According to one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the trigger sensing component includes movable members 220a, 220b and fixed sensing members 230a1, 230a2, 230b, wherein the movable members 220a, 220b are configured to be movable between a trigger position and a non-trigger position. When the movable members 220a, 220b are in the trigger position, the trigger sensing component is allowed to generate a sensing signal, and when the movable members 220a, 220b are in the non-trigger position, the trigger sensing component is not allowed to generate a sensing signal. According to one embodiment, the fixed sensing members 230a1, 230a2, 230b are configured to be connected to the circuit board of the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310, for example, directly provided on the main control circuit board 310, and the movable members 220a, 220b are configured to be connected to the button-type trigger input members 210, 210 so as to be able to move between the non-trigger position and the trigger position along with the movement of the button-type trigger input members 210, 210. More specifically, the button-type trigger input members 210, 210 can be pressed to move from the rest position to the pressed position, and when the button-type trigger input members 210, 210 are in the rest position, the movable members 220a, 220b are in the non-trigger position, and when the button-type trigger input members 210, 210 are in the pressed position, the movable members 220a, 220b are in the trigger position. According to some embodiments, such as Figure 9-11 As shown, the trigger module includes an elastic return member 240. The elastic return member 240 can be configured to return the movable members 220a, 220b from the trigger position to the non-trigger position, thereby returning the button-type trigger input member 210 to its original position, that is, from the pressed position to the rest position. According to a specific embodiment, the elastic return member 240 is disposed between the movable members 220a, 220b and the main body of the intelligent game control device 10.

[0173] According to one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the fixed sensing element includes signal transceiver units 230a1 and 230a2 arranged on the circuit board of the control module 300, more specifically on the main control circuit board 310. Figure 9-10As shown, the movable part 220a is configured to block the signal transceiver units 230a1 and 230a2 from generating sensing signals when in the non-trigger position, that is, at this time, the signal transceiver units 230a1 and 230a2 cannot generate sensing signals due to the physical obstruction of the movable part 220a; in the trigger position, the movable part 220a no longer blocks the signal transceiver units 230a1 and 230a2 from generating sensing signals, that is, at this time, the signal transceiver units 230a1 and 230a2 can generate sensing signals. According to a specific embodiment, the signal transceiver units 230a1 and 230a2 are optical signal transceiver units. More specifically, the optical signal transceiver unit includes an optical signal transmitter 230a1 and an optical signal receiver 230a2. When the movable part 220a is in the signal blocking position, the movable part 220a is located between the optical signal transmitter 230a1 and the optical signal receiver 230a2, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 More specifically, a through hole 301 may be provided on the circuit board of the control module 300, and the movable member 220a, more specifically, its shielding portion 221 ( Figure 9-10 ) can extend through the through hole 301 when switching between the non-trigger position and the trigger position.

[0174] According to another embodiment, Figure 11 As shown, the movable element 220b is a movable sensing element capable of interacting with the fixed sensing element 230b. Exemplarily but not exclusively, the movable sensing element can be a magnet, and the fixed sensing element 230b is a Hall sensor connected to the circuit board of the control module 300.

[0175] According to some embodiments, Figure 9As shown, the trigger module is positioned corresponding to the circuit board of the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310, for example, facing the circuit board of the control module 300, more specifically, at least a portion of the main control circuit board 310. According to one embodiment, the display module 400 includes a display panel, more specifically, a first display panel 410, 410', positioned corresponding to the circuit board of the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310. For example, the first display panel 410, 410' is configured to cover at least a portion of the circuit board of the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310. According to a more specific embodiment, the button-type trigger input 210, 210' is configured to be transparent and cover at least a portion of the first display panel 410, 410', thereby saving space and allowing for an overall compact construction while also protecting at least a portion of the first display panel 410, 410' from environmental damage. According to one embodiment, the trigger result indicator mentioned above, such as the trigger result category indicator light unit, can be set on the main control circuit board 310, more specifically, between the first display panel 410, 410' and the main control circuit board 310. According to a more specific embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the display module 400 may further include a light processing component 490, such as a filter plate, a sharp light plate, a homogenizing plate, etc., arranged between the display panel, more specifically the first display panel 410, 410' and the individual indicator lights 410a, 410b, 410c, 410d, 410e, 410f of the emergency category indicator light unit and / or the emergency location indicator light unit.

[0176] According to some embodiments, the intelligent game control device 10, 10' further includes at least one random routine instruction determiner. The random routine instruction determiner is configured to provide random routine instructions, which are used to determine game content at least alone or in conjunction with the triggering result of the emergency event trigger 200, 200'. Exemplarily, the game content includes the states and / or actions of the corresponding game entities (e.g., chess pieces) 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d.

[0177] It should be understood that, in the context of this application, "regular instructions" are the opposite of "unexpected events." Regular instructions refer to instructions that are required during the regular course of a game. They are fundamental, essential instructions or instructions necessary for playing a particular game, rather than "unexpected" or additional instructions. "Random regular instructions" refer to which of the "regular instructions" during a game are determined to be random.

[0178] In some embodiments, when no unexpected event occurs, random conventional instructions alone determine the game content, such as the state and / or action of the corresponding game entities 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d; when an unexpected event occurs, the random conventional instructions and the unexpected event jointly determine the game content. In some embodiments, at the beginning of each game step, the corresponding game participant can operate the at least one conventional instruction random determiner to obtain a random conventional instruction, and can operate the unexpected event trigger 200, 200' to obtain a trigger result, that is, determine whether an unexpected event occurs in the game step and / or which unexpected event is to occur. It should be noted that when the conventional instruction random determiner and the unexpected event trigger 200, 200' include a shared trigger module, then in each game step after the game officially begins, the corresponding game participant's operations on the conventional instruction random determiner and the unexpected event trigger 200, 200' will be synchronized and the same operation. Afterwards, the corresponding game participants can decide the game content, such as the status and / or action of the corresponding game entities 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d, based on both the determined random routine instructions and the trigger results.

[0179] According to some embodiments, the at least one regular instruction random determiner is in communication with the control module 300, more specifically, with the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300, so that the control module 300 can control the display module 400, 400' to display random regular instructions in response to the operation of the regular instruction random determiner. According to one embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, display modules 400 and 400' include a random regular instruction light unit 460 that can be controlled by the control module 300 to provide random regular instructions. According to one embodiment, the operation and status of each indicator light in the random regular instruction light unit 460 can be individually controlled. More specifically, the color, brightness, and / or flashing frequency of each indicator light can be variable. Exemplarily, the random regular instruction comprises at least one of a number, color, pattern, letter, text, light brightness, light position, or light flashing pattern. According to one embodiment, the random regular instruction light unit 460 is an LED light unit that may include at least one LED light. According to one embodiment, instead of or in addition to the random regular instruction light unit, the display module 400 may include a random regular instruction pointer assembly that can be controlled by the control module 300. According to one embodiment, the random regular instruction pointer assembly may include a set of regular instruction options disposed on the display panel of the display module 400 and 400', a pointer, and a driver connected to the pointer. The driver can be controlled by the control module 300 to drive the pointer to randomly point to a regular instruction option, thereby providing the random regular instruction. By way of example but not exclusive, the general instruction options may consist of at least one of numbers, colors, patterns, letters, words, light brightness, light lighting position, and light flashing mode.

[0180] Additionally or alternatively, the at least one regular instruction random determiner is communicatively connected to the control module 300, more specifically to the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300, so that the control module 300 can provide sound prompts about random regular instructions in response to the operation of the regular instruction random determiner to control the sound module, that is, to convey the random regular instructions to the game participants through sound.

[0181] According to some embodiments, the regular instruction random determiner includes a trigger module configured to provide a trigger signal. The control module 300, for example, its main control circuit board 310, is further configured to receive the trigger signal and, in response to the trigger signal, control the display modules 400, 400' to display the random regular instructions provided by the at least one regular instruction random determiner. Additionally or alternatively, the control module 300, for example, its main control circuit board 310, is further configured to receive the trigger signal and, in response to the trigger signal, control the sound module to provide an audible prompt regarding the random regular instructions. According to some embodiments, the trigger module of the regular instruction random determiner is shared with the trigger module of the emergency trigger 200, 200', i.e., the same trigger module. In this case, according to some embodiments, it can be configured that each time the trigger module is operated, it provides a trigger signal. When the trigger signal is received by the control module 300, the control module can control the display modules 400, 400' to simultaneously or sequentially display the random regular instructions and the emergency trigger trigger result. According to one embodiment, the trigger module provides one trigger signal or two trigger signals each time it is operated, wherein one trigger signal is used to provide a trigger result and the other trigger signal is used to provide a random regular instruction. Figure 4 As shown, the indicator lights 410a, 410b, 410c, 410d, 410e, and 410f of the emergency category indicator light unit can be arranged around the random conventional instruction light unit 460, and more specifically, all directly arranged on the main control circuit board 310.

[0182] Alternatively, the trigger module of the conventional instruction random determiner is provided separately from the trigger module of the above-mentioned emergency event trigger 200, 200'. More specifically, the specific structure of the trigger module of the conventional instruction random determiner can refer to the trigger module of the above-mentioned emergency event trigger 200, 200', and will not be repeated here.

[0183] According to some embodiments, the regular instruction random determiner includes a random displacement instruction determiner, and the random regular instructions include random displacement instructions, which are used to determine the game content, such as the state or action of the corresponding game entities 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d, at least alone or in conjunction with the triggering results of the emergency event triggers 200 and 200'. It should be noted that in the regular game process, that is, without considering the emergency events proposed in the present disclosure, the random displacement instructions can independently indicate whether the corresponding game entities 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d can enter the game process or the number of steps (such as the number of chess squares) that can be moved during the game.

[0184] According to some embodiments, the conventional instruction random determiner is a random number generator, and the random displacement instruction is a random number generated by the random number generator. The generated random number is used, for example, to indicate whether the corresponding game subject 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d can enter the game process or the number of steps that can be moved during the game (such as the number of chess squares). According to one embodiment, the random number generator is an electronic dice. According to some embodiments, the display module 400, 400' includes a random displacement indication pointer component or a random displacement instruction light unit that can be controlled by the control module 300 to provide random numbers.

[0185] According to some embodiments, the intelligent game control device 10, 10' may include multiple game modes and a game mode selector, which is configured to be operable to select any one of the multiple game modes. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, the multiple game modes may include a human-computer game mode or a two-player, three-player, or four-player game mode. Exemplarily, but not exclusively, the multiple game modes may include different conventional game categories, such as a flying chess game mode, a Monopoly game mode, a long river journey game mode, and the like. According to some embodiments, the game mode selector is communicatively connected to the control module 300, more specifically, the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300, so that the control module 300 can control the display module 400, 400' to display the game mode in response to the operation of the game mode selector, thereby informing each game participant which game mode they are currently in.

[0186] According to some embodiments, the display modules 400, 400' may include a game mode indicator for providing a game mode indication for any of the multiple game modes. That is, the game mode indicator can be used to indicate which game mode is currently entered or in. According to one embodiment, the game mode indicator is configured to provide a game mode indication before the game officially begins, and no longer provide a game mode indication after the game officially begins. Alternatively, the game mode indicator can be configured to provide a game mode indication throughout the entire game process. According to one embodiment, the game mode indicator includes a game mode indicator light unit 460. More specifically, each indicator light in the game mode indicator light unit 460 can be controlled individually. In a specific embodiment, the game mode indicator light unit 460 is directly disposed on the main control circuit board 310 of the control module 300. By way of example, but not exclusive, the game mode indication comprises at least one of a number, a color, a pattern, letters, text, light brightness, light lighting position, or a light flashing pattern.

[0187] Additionally or alternatively, the control module 300 is configured to control the sound module to provide sound prompts about the game mode in response to the operation of the game mode selector, that is, to convey through sound which game mode the game participant currently enters or is in.

[0188] In some embodiments, the game mode indicator light unit is the same light unit as the random regular instruction light unit 460 or the random displacement instruction light unit. In one embodiment, before each round of the game officially begins, the game mode selector is operated to select the desired game mode. At this time, the same light unit 460 operates as the game mode indicator light unit to provide game mode indication and thus determine the desired game mode. After the game mode is determined and the game round officially begins, the same light unit 460 no longer operates as the game mode indicator light unit, but instead operates as the random regular instruction light unit to provide random regular instructions.

[0189] According to some embodiments, the game mode selector includes a trigger module, which is configured to provide a trigger signal. The control module 300, for example, its main control circuit board 310 is also configured to receive the trigger signal and control the display module 400, 400' to display the game mode in response to the trigger signal. Additionally or alternatively, the control module 300, for example, its main control circuit board 310 is also configured to receive the trigger signal and control the sound module to provide a sound prompt about the game mode in response to the trigger signal. According to some embodiments, the trigger module of the game mode selector is shared with the trigger module of the above-mentioned emergency trigger 200, 200', that is, the same trigger module. Optionally, the trigger module of the game mode selector, the emergency trigger 200, 200' and the conventional instruction random determiner is shared, that is, the same trigger module. In one embodiment, before each round of game officially begins, the trigger module is controlled to select the desired game mode. After the game mode is determined, the game mode is officially entered into. At this time, the trigger module is controlled to randomly trigger emergencies and / or randomly determine regular instructions.

[0190] Alternatively, the trigger module of the game mode selector is provided separately from the trigger module of the above-mentioned emergency trigger 200, 200' and / or the trigger module of the conventional instruction random determiner. More specifically, the specific structure of the trigger module of the game mode selector can refer to the trigger module of the emergency trigger described above, and will not be repeated here.

When the trigger button 620 is in the non-triggered position (i.e., not pressed), the conductive component 630 on the trigger button 620 does not connect the victory sensing circuit 610. When the trigger button 620 is in the triggered position (i.e., pressed), the conductive component 630 on the trigger button 620 connects the victory sensing circuit 610, thereby generating a victory sensing signal. According to one embodiment, the victory sensing circuit 610 is directly provided on the main control circuit board 310. According to one embodiment, the conductive component 630 is configured to correspond to the position of the receiving slot 302 on the main control circuit board 310, so that when the trigger button 620 is in the trigger position, the conductive component 630 is received in the receiving slot 302 and the victory sensing circuit 610 is turned on.

[0193] According to some embodiments, Figure 12-14 As shown, the trigger button 620 includes an elastic reset member 640, which is configured to reset the trigger button 620 from the trigger position to the non-trigger position. More specifically, the elastic reset member 640 is connected to the trigger button 620, and elastically deforms to store elastic potential energy when the trigger button 620 is pressed from the non-trigger position to the trigger position, and then releases the stored potential energy to reset the trigger button 620 from the trigger position to the non-trigger position. More specifically, the conductive component 630 is provided on the elastic reset member 640 and can move with the elastic reset member 640. According to a specific embodiment, as Figure 13 As shown, the elastic return member 640 includes a non-elastic deformation portion 641 and an elastic deformation portion 642. The user can apply pressure on the non-elastic deformation portion 641 via the trigger button 620, thereby causing the elastic deformation portion 642 to elastically deform, wherein the conductive component 630 is disposed on the non-elastic deformation portion 641. More specifically, the elastic deformation portion 642 has an overall truncated conical shape, the non-elastic deformation portion 641 is a cylindrical portion extending from the thinner end of the truncated conical elastic deformation portion 642, and the conductive component 630 is disposed at the end of the cylindrical portion near the elastic deformation portion 642.

[0194] According to one embodiment, the control module 300, more specifically the main control circuit board 310, is configured to control the display modules 400, 400' to display a victory indication in response to receipt of a victory sensing signal, thereby indicating victory to a game participant. This enhances human-computer interactivity and game fun, and can also provide game participants with clearance reminders, heightening their interest and tension, making the entire game process more engaging for users. According to one embodiment, the display modules 400, 400' include a victory indicator light unit controlled by the control module 300, and the victory indicator light unit is configured to provide a victory indication.
