Abstract:
1. An electronic gaming device in which a user is suppose to jump in response to the illumination of a light, comprising: a housing having at least a top, a bottom, and opposite sides; a plurality of lights mounted on the housing for providing a continuous light path in a loop around the top, sides, and bottom; a platform having a top surface, the platform disposed adjacent to the bottom of the housing; a controller for selectively illuminating at least some of the plurality of lights along the continuous light path to simulate a jump rope; and a plurality of sensors on the platform, each sensor comprising an emitter mounted on a first part of the platform and a receiver mounted on a second part of the platform separated from the first part of the platform and a signal is transmitted between the emitter and receiver, and wherein the area between the emitter and the receiver is the area on the top surface where the user is to stand and jump; and means for electrically connecting each emitter and corresponding receiver to an aligned light at the bottom of the housing for determining if the user is on the top surface of the platform between the emitter and its corresponding receiver when the aligned light at the bottom of the housing is illuminated.
