ABSTRACT:
A hollow, transparent game cube device which is capable of being thrown or rolled on a playing surface to come to rest and randomly settle on one of its faces is disclosed. The interior faces of the cube have from one to six shallow, ball-receiving pockets so arranged that when the cube is viewed from without it resembles a traditional die. The cube contains a number of unconstrained balls which may randomly fall into the ball-receiving pockets in the inner surface of the bottom face of the cube when the cube comes to rest. Each ball has a distinct identification visible through the cube, for example, a distinguishing color, numeral, letter or other symbolic indicia, or any combination thereof. Numerous and diverse amusing and entertaining games of chance may be played using one or more of the cube devices depending for outcome on the permutations and combinations of final cube position and disposition of balls in the ball-receiving pockets after tossing of the cube or cubes in play.
