ABSTRACT:
A sequence association game in which a participant may play one or more games against the machine and/or other participants utilizes a microprocessor for controlling the play of the games and also for generating a random sequence for each play of the game. The machine generates a random sequence correspondence between a plurality of participant actuated controls and a plurality of machine actuated indicators. The participant attempts to actuate the indicators by correctly establishing the random-generated correspondence between the controls and the indicators in an attempt to actuate all the indicators in sequence such as from left to right. The participant attempts to actuate the indicators with the least number of attempts by attempting to remember the association between respective controls and indicators from previous attempts. When played between two participants, each participant attempts to actuate or deactuate a designated set of indicators by operating a designated set of controls with the participant first succeeding being the winner. Two participants may also play with one participant starting from the left of the indicator sequence and one participant starting at the right with each attempting to actuate the maximum number of indicators with play proceeding until all the indicators are actuated.
