ABSTRACT:
A playing field has a plurality of pachinko mazes arranged side by side. Each pachinko maze has a scoring slot at the bottom of the maze. When each playing disk falls into a particular scoring slot, the value of the slot is determined. The value of each scoring slot is changed from game to game by means of a random electronic program so that different winning values occur. In one version of the game, the playing field comprises three parallel pachinko mazes and a disk is dropped into one of each of the pachinko mazes. Each pachinko maze has six scoring slots at the bottom thereof. At the beginning of each game, each scoring slot has one of three possible symbols illuminated--cherries, plum or jackpot. The player wins preselected amounts depending on which combinations of symbols the three playing disks fall into. In another version of the game, eleven playing disks are dropped into eleven parallel pachinko mazes, each maze having only two scoring slots--designated "left" or "right". Prior to the disks being dropped, an indicator light activates either the right side slot or the left side slot in each maze for that particular game. The player wins predetermined amounts if the disks land in at least a predetermined number of the illuminated slots.
