A casino type game includes a plurality of distinguishable sets of playing pieces with a multiplicity of pieces in each set. A spinnable unitary solid brass top member includes a central section including an even number and at least four faces disposed around the periphery thereof with uniform angularity between adjoining faces and opposite faces being substantially parallel. Each face of the central section is inscribed with a legend of "put", "take" or "lose spin" and different legends are on adjoining faces. A tapered pointed section is at one end of the central section. Cylindrical gripping mechanism extends axially from an opposite end of the central section remote from the pointed section. A shiny tightly adherent uniform continuous precious metal coating is over the exterior surface of the top member.
