What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dart game apparatus, comprising:
 a dart target including a plurality of score regions;   a sensing unit configured to detect a hit location of a dart pin in the dart target;   a dispenser configured to supply a drink to a cup based on the hit location of the dart pin; and   a controller configured to control an operation of the dispenser.   
     
     
         2 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein when the dart pin hits a position of a predetermined score region among the plurality of score regions, the controller permits the dispenser to supply a drink to the cup. 
     
     
         3 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the controller determines whether a predetermined event is generated at least partially based on progress information of a currently progressing dart game, and
 when the predetermined event is generated, the controller controls the dispenser to supply a drink to the cup based on the generated event.   
     
     
         4 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the controller adjusts the amount of drink which the dispenser supplies to the cup based on the generated event. 
     
     
         5 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the predetermined event includes a case where the dart game reaches a predetermined round. 
     
     
         6 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the predetermined event includes a case where a victory or a defeat of the dart game is determined. 
     
     
         7 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the predetermined event includes a case where a score reversal is generated. 
     
     
         8 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the predetermined event includes a case where a score of a dart game player exceeds a personal highest score of the dart game player. 
     
     
         9 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the predetermined event includes a case where the number of times of continuous play performed by a dart game player is equal to or larger than a predetermined number of times. 
     
     
         10 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the dispenser includes a dispenser lighting unit, and
 when the predetermined event is generated, the controller controls the dispenser lighting unit so as to illuminate a cup received in a cup receiving part based on the generated event.   
     
     
         11 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the dispenser lighting unit emits light based on a color allocated to a dart game player. 
     
     
         12 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the dispenser further includes a drink discharging part which supplies a drink from a lower portion of a cup received in a cup receiving part. 
     
     
         13 . The dart game apparatus of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a sound output unit which generates a sound effect,   wherein when the predetermined event is generated, the controller controls the sound output unit based on the generated event.
