Abstract
A battery powered electronic dart game that is capable of scoring the game of Cricket uses multicolored or flashing lamps to indicate a current mark score. In one embodiment, the multi-colored lamps may be bi-color LED's that indicate four states with regard to marks scored in a particular dart bed. In another embodiment, the flashing lamps may be LED's flashed at different rates to indicate the four states with regard to marks scored in a particular dart bed. In a third embodiment, the lamps may be both colored and flashed to indicate marks scored. A score panel may be connected to a dart board, together containing processing and display driver circuitry for indicating a current score on the lamps and on numerical displays. Alternatively, the display panel may be a separate unit and may completely house the processing and display driver circuitry, thereby providing portability.
