ABSTRACT:
An electronic racing game apparatus employs a microprocessor which controls a plurality of incandescent lamps. The lamps are arranged in an XY matrix as each lamp is indicative of a lane and a position about an oval track display. When power is first initiated, the microprocessor is reset and then displays a spiral pattern which serves to attract participants to the game site. The pattern spirals until a start button is accessed, whereby the finish order displays are cleared and the contestant lamps of each lane or contestant sequentially come to the starting line. After a short delay the bell rings and the race begins. The contestants as indicated by the lamps race around the oval display in a random pattern, as determined by a random number table. The lamps associated with each oval are illuminated according to the table. As the first, second and third contestants cross the finish line, the numbers of their lane will appear on the win, place and show displays. All the racers continue across the finish line and proceed about a 1/4 lap past the finish. The win, place and show displays permanently illuminate and the spiral display pattern resumes until the next race is started by implementing the start button.
