ABSTRACT:
A basketball game requiring operator skill in operating a ball thrower arm lever which throws a ball that has been positioned at the end of the lever by means of a funnel assembly. The ball is thrown toward a basket. A scoring mechanism is provided whereby the number of baskets are scored and, if a predetermined number is scored within the preset time interval, a free game is provided. Means are provided for returning the ball to the ball thrower lever and an arrangement is additionally incorporated for permitting release of the ball in the event it is trapped under the ball thrower lever arm at the base of the funnel. The game includes an illuminated scoreboard and a mechanism for ringing a bell after each basket is made. A ball lock is also incorporated for preventing return of the ball to the ball thrower arm lever after the completion of the last basket at the preset time interval, unless the free game has been provided.
