ABSTRACT:
A coin bowling amusement game is provided having target pins shaped in the form of bowling pins along with a pivotal coin chute, sweeper arm and display operated by a computer program in which coins are inserted into the coin chute and rolled down an enclosed platform to the target pins which, when struck, activates a display means for audibly or visually displaying a strike which then dispenses prizes and/or tickets redeemable for prizes or activates the sweeper arm after a predetermined number of misses are tallied by the computer controlled coin bowling game. The novel coin bowling game is designed to require or teach a considerable degree of skill in drawing the proper angle on target pins by requiring the operator to pivot the coin or token chute to a particular prize target pin having varying degrees of difficulty of striking alone or in combination with obstacle coins or obstacles disposed in the playing field that increase the amount of skill required to obtain prizes, tokens or tickets for successful coin bowling. A coin reject mechanism is provided to return defective or undesized coins along with solid state electronics, LED display, along with a microprocessor means for controlling the game.
