ABSTRACT:
A collapsible playing section is removably attached to a player console and include casters as a stand alone amusement unit. A background includes three vertically aligned hoops, the medially one being rotated in a plane periodically out of alignment with the other two hoops which are stationary. One or more players in a coin operated game toss five balls in an attempt to pass the ball through all three hoops. A spring loaded telescoping link assembly for operating the moving hoop prevents ball jams. Points and prizes are assigned and awarded based on the number of hoops rung by a given player. More or fewer hoops, their speed of motion and the relative position of the movable hoop of hoops differ in different embodiments.
