The electronic dart game apparatus 1 includes a selector 300 for selecting a plurality of different dart games according to the manipulation of the players, and a dart target having a plurality of score areas where the darts are hit by the players. 100), a dart game state for individual players from a sensor 101 for detecting the plurality of score areas hit by the dart, a dart game selected from the selector 300, and a score detected from the sensor 101. The control unit 10 is calculated in real time and output to the display unit 200.

In addition, the electronic dart game apparatus 1 may further include a voice output unit 30 for outputting a voice, a memory 20 for storing various dart game programs or data, and an internet communication network 2. A communication unit 40 having a communication interface and a power supply unit 50 for applying power are further provided. The voice output unit is equipped with a woofer system to provide a sound full of life.

The display unit 200 is automatically displayed as an image when the power is supplied by the power supply unit 50 and is turned on. The main screen for selecting a game category, an option button screen, an option selection screen, and a real time All the screens from the start to the end, such as the dart game status screen, are displayed. Of course, the display of such a screen is controlled and displayed automatically by the controller 10 according to the output from the sensor 101 or the like that senses the score of the selection unit 300 and the target 100 as the input unit. That is, different screens are displayed according to various games selected by the selection unit 300, and values corresponding to the score area of the target 100 hit by the player according to each game are calculated and displayed in real time. The type of each game will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 2, the selection unit 300 as the input unit is provided below the target 100 and includes up, down, left, and right direction keys 310, option buttons 311, and a selection button 312. . The selection unit 300 having such a configuration is electrically connected to the display unit 200 and the control unit 100.
