ABSTRACT:
A display device comprising a plurality of prize balls, a ball holder adapted to hold the balls in an individually controlled manner, a controller adapted to select a prize ball, a display mechanism adapted to display the selected prize ball to the player; and a positioning mechanism in communication with the controller adapted to position the selected prize ball relative to the display mechanism. The display device may be combined with a jumbled ball display, or separate, upwardly extending rotatable action ball or unit container with agitated action balls, wherein the balls displayed by the display device appear to originate from the jumbled ball display, or the alternative action ball or unit container. The display device may also be combined with a game apparatus that is adapted to allow players to play a game. In this embodiment, the display device may provide a bonus award for the player. Several games are also provided that may be used with the display device. In an alternative embodiment, the jumbled ball display is replaced with a video display device that displays the balls in video form. The display device may also be replaced by the video display device in which case a prize ball appears to be randomly selected from the agitated display balls.
