An exemplary gaming system, in one implementation, provides active interaction between one or more players and the gaming system. Such an exemplary gaming system includes a receptacle with one or more holes to receive first gaming objects thrown at it. Chambers attached to a rigid member on the receptacle receive and store second gaming objects that are later released into one or more different spatial directions. An intermediate surface operably connected to a mechanical or an electrical triggering mechanism is included in the receptacle. When the first gaming object falls into the receptacle and hits the intermediate surface, the intermediate surface causes activation of the triggering mechanism to directly or indirectly propel the second gaming objects, through the chambers, into one or more different spatial directions. A hand or foot lever allows players to reset the triggering mechanism for the next game. |

1. A gaming system comprising:
a receptacle with a top surface, a bottom surface, and one or more side surfaces, wherein the top surface comprises one or more holes, the one or more holes for allowing the receptacle to receive one or more first gaming objects; one or more chambers to receive and store one or more second gaming objects, each of the one or more chambers having an open distal end through which to receive or release the one or more second gaming objects and a closed or at least partially open proximal end, the one or more chambers attached to a rigid member; the rigid member attached to the one or more surfaces of the receptacle and having an optional sectional opening member coincidental with the proximal end or the open distal end of each of the one or more chambers, the rigid member allowing a triggering mechanism, which is attached to a mechanically releasable latch or is in an electrically “off” state, to directly or indirectly access the proximal end of the one or more chambers, when triggered; an intermediate surface within the receptacle, the intermediate surface operably connected to activate the triggering mechanism and anchored to an inside portion of one or more of the surfaces of the receptacle; and the intermediate surface to receive and retain the one or more first gaming objects received into the receptacle, wherein the receipt of the one or more first gaming objects on the intermediate surface causes activation of the triggering mechanism to directly or indirectly access the rigid member and the one or more chambers, and wherein the activated triggering mechanism directly or indirectly causes propulsion of the one or more second gaming objects, through the open distal end of the one or more chambers, into one or more different spatial directions |
