ABSTRACT:
A coin projecting game apparatus includes a transparent display housing having a rotating target carousel disposed therein. A plurality of player positions are spaced about the display housing, with non-player areas interposed therebetween. Each player position includes a coin projecting device which shoots a coin provided by the player toward the target carousel. The target carousel includes a plurality of annular shelves of decreasing diameter with increasing height, and upwardly extending target panels in regular polygon array separating adjacent shelves, the target panels rotating as a unit. Each target panel is provided with at least one jackpot opening dimensioned to receive a coin projected thereat. Within the carousel, a plurality of annular coin diverter slots are disposed in non-rotating fashion in confronting relation to each player position. Any coin projected through a jackpot opening is directed into a respective diverter slot, and then to a sensor which issues a payoff to the player commensurate with the amount labeled on the opening. In the non-player areas a coin elevator showers coins onto the shelves to attract new players. Each coin projecting device includes a variable angle coin deflector driven by cam action to randomly vary the angle of projection of the coin toward the target.
