ABSTRACT:
A chance operating amusement device in the form of a mechanical "shell" game, including features to permit use as a game of chance. A selectively actuatable motor driven rotary probability switch is set in motion at the beginning of each operating cycle and when released stops the probability switch in a chance position to set up a search circuit to illuminate one of a plurality of lightbulb signals. The lightbulbs each are covered by a hemispherical shell which is pivotally mounted on the housing of the device. The user then activates one of a plurality of switches which first moves a shell to uncover a respective signal light, computes a score if the signal light is illuminated, and then uncovers all of the shells for the remaining signal lights so that they all may be observed. The shells then are lowered to cover the signal lights for the beginning of the next operating cycle.
