ABSTRACT:
A rotatable playing surface amusement game which is automatically controlled by a microprocessor which includes a rotatable object and a segmented substantially circular rotatable playing surface surrounded by a race and means for accelerating the rotatable object onto a race with sufficient centrifugal force as to maintain the rotatable object in the race for a predetermined period of time which upon a timed or player input results in the stopping of the substantially circular rotating playing surface alone or together with the race which may also be rotatable while the rotatable object continues to rotate in the race held by centrifugal force until gravity and inertia result in the return of the rotatable object back onto the rotatable playing surface and coming to rest on a particular segment. The rotatable surface game includes a housing, transparent cover, player control input panels and contact sensors for indicating the resting position of the rotatable object controlled by a microprocessor which awards rewards based upon player input selection of the projected final position of the rotatable object. The rotatable playing surface may be segmented equally or unequally and the segments may contain various segment identifying indicia along with timing switches and player controlled skill switches to test judgment of speeds, inertia and movement of the rotatable object with respect to the various segments of the rotatable playing surface.
