ABSTRACT:
An arcade game apparatus of the present invention includes a display face having indicia provided thereon and multiple pointers rotatable in opposite directions about a single axis on the display face. Control mechanisms allow a player to start and stop the rotation of the pointers. A game score is calculated based on the indicia that the pointers are pointing to after they have stopped rotating. The game score is calculated in a described embodiment by summing numeral indicia pointed to by the pointers. An award dispenser dispenses an award based upon the game score. Multiple arcade game apparatus of the present invention can also be connected to a progressive bonus apparatus that accumulates a progressive score contributed to by each individual game apparatus. A player of an individual game apparatus may win an award based on the progressive score by achieving a progressive goal on the individual game apparatus.
