ABSTRACT:
A game of chance comprising a stationary base and a rotatable casing cover overlying the base is disclosed. The casing cover is generally spherical. A saucer disk is disposed inside the casing cover to rotate bodily therewith. The top of the casing cover is formed with a knob and at least one slit adjacent thereto. The bottom of the casing cover has an opening directly over the base. The latter has a trough and at least two partitions defining segments in the trough. To play the game, players drop tokens through the slit onto the saucer disk. Then the casing cover is spun, so that the tokens are held against the inner wall of the casing by centrifugal force and drop by gravity randomly into the trough segments as the casing slows down.
