ABSTRACT:
An amusement game device (A) is disclosed for testing the hand/eye coordination skill of a player. The amusement game includes a cabinet (10) having a playing compartment (22) with an open front (22a). An object (26) is extended and retracted through a raised floor (20) of cabinet (10) by a retraction mechanism (B). A releasable carrier (30) is attached to retracting mechanism (B). With retracting mechanism (B) in an extended position, object (26) may be manually grasped by hand (H) of the player. As soon as hand (H) is moved toward object (26) and pierces a light barrier between a light emitter (52) and receptor (54), a hand detection signal (36) is generated. A control unit (40) receives hand detection (36) and, after a predetermined time period, sends a control (41) to actuate retraction mechanism (B) and retract object (26). The person's skill is tested by whether or not the object (26) can be grasped and removed from the carrier platform (34 ) before the object disappears in floor (20).
