ABSTRACT:
A sports complex of the pinball type which simulates a variety of games including baseball, ice hockey, football, golf, skiball, and blackjack, comprising a game board having wall means extending around peripheral portions to define a field of play, or playing field, in which a ball is confined, and a plurality of passageways formed on the upper surface of the game board so that when the ball is introduced to the upper end of the game board and the game board is in an inclined position, the ball moves by gravity through the passageways from the upper to the lower end of the playing field. The passageways include a plurality of intersections where the ball may take alternative paths. A cover is mounted above the passageways to extend across a portion of the playing field and has openings located therein above various intersections and aligned with the alternative paths at the intersections. There are provided a plurality of defensive players, each of which includes a pin adapted to be extended through the openings in the cover into the alternative paths to block the movement of the ball. Various covers are provided for various games. In playing a game, the defensive players may be positioned at selected openings in an effort to block the movement of the ball from the upper to the lower end of the playing field.
