A GAME INCLUDING APERTURES SIMULATING PLAYING CARDS SELECTED BY A ROLLED BALL

摘要

A game of chance including one or two balls of predetermined diameter and a gameboard (12) wherein the gameboard (12) defines a generally dish-shaped symmetrical central zone (14) bounded by an outer peripheral zone defining a race path; the gameboard (12) has a raised outer circular rim and the central zone has 52 recesses sized to receive the ball; and the recesses are arranged in 4 concentric circles containing 6, 10, 16 and 20 recesses, respectively, so that, the surface being smooth, a ball is adapted to be rolled on the raceway and, under the influence of gravity, it will enter the central zone to be received by random choice in one of a plurality of the recesses. Gate members (20", 22", 24") may be provided to direct the ball from the raceway onto the central zone in a generally radial path. The recesses are provided with indicia representing conventional playing cards for purposes of scoring. Sockets are located in the rim bounding the peripheral zone with scoring indicia to facilitate score keeping by movement of scoring pegs (64) progressively along the plurality of sockets.
