ABSTRACT:
An amusement apparatus to be played by several players, having as many playing stations as there are players. Each of the players participates by recordable and measurable action on his part with winning scores determined by a predefined risk-reward schedule. The playing stations are independently operable by each player to produce respective output signals that are intergradable with one another. Individual playing stations are formed of a base member having a first receptacle mounted above the base member provided with a plurality of predefined valued positions, each position being capable of receiving a token i.e. a ball, set in motion thereto by a player. A second receptacle depending from a frame positioned above the first receptacle initially positions the token above the first receptacle. Each player is provided with a release member for causing the token to be dropped out of the second receptacle and into the first receptacle. A display representing each of the predefined positions in the first receptacle is connected to each of the playing stations and is provided with indicia responsive to the position of each of the tokens after coming to rest in the respective first receptacle at each of the playing stations.
