ABSTRACT:
A gaming apparatus wherein a group of rolling elements each having a visible identification characteristic are released to travel down an inclined path. Disposed upon the inclined path are a plurality of deflectors each incorporating structure for precluding the rolling elements from being undesirably caught thereby. The deflection elements cause a randomization of the movable elements at the bottom of the inclined path. A wagering structure is provided for accepting wagers from the user as to the order of which the elements will arrive at a designated finishing position and processing components are provided for determining the outcome of the wagers as a result of the sequencing of the movable elements. During the movement of the movable elements and the random selection of the winner, the user can watch the random selection thereby enhancing enjoyment during the selection process. The order of the arrival of the movable elements at the bottom of the incline is detected by a sensor which reflectively reads light directed toward the movable elements. Through comparison of these readings, the color of each of the movable elements is determined and the relationship to wagers placed is computed.
