ABSTRACT:
A basketball game having a coin operated switch to release basketballs to a player and to initiate a timing circuit. The player attempts to convert as many baskets as possible during the time interval of the game. The basketball hoop has means to indicate when a score has been made. Visual display means are provided to indicate the score made, the time interval remaining in which the player can attempt to score and the number of successively won games. In one embodiment, the game ends when the time interval expires. In another embodiment, the game ends when the time interval expires or when a predetermined number of balls have been thrown, whichever occurs first. Solid state circuits may reset the game for free rounds of play and control the dispensing of prize tickets as a function of the game score and of the number of successively won games.
