A method for playing a value-variable game of chance, said method comprising:

providing a random number generator comprising one or more walls forming a grid, said grid including an entrance zone and a finishing zone, and said grid being configured to support a transit of a puck from said entrance zone to said finishing zone;
providing said finishing zone as including two or more finishing positions, each of said finishing positions configured to receive said puck, and each of said finishing positions being assigned a different finishing position value;
providing said grid as comprising one or more deflectors configured to deflect said puck upon an impact of said puck with a given one of said deflectors;
introducing a puck into said grid at said entrance zone and subjecting said puck to a force to drive said puck to said finishing zone, and allowing said puck to be deflected off any of said deflectors that it impacts during said puck's transit;
receiving a player input at a time prior to the arrival of said puck at a given one of said finishing positions;
using a combination of said player input and the finishing position value of the finishing position where the puck concludes its transit to set a player value;
