Abstract
A moving coin pusher on a game board revolves in a pattern of movement which causes it to approach and retreat from the edges of the board in a cyclical manner. Players drop coins on to the board, preferably in an upright rolling orientation, through a coin chute which may be swivelable to enable aiming of the coins. Players score when coins drop off of an edge of the board or through one or more holes in the board. The holes, which may have different scoring values, are preferably at locations which are covered and uncovered in a cyclical manner by the revolving coin pusher.
Claims24
Coin game apparatus comprising:
- a game board having a substantially level surface for supporting a plurality of coins or the like and having at least a first edge region at which coins may be pushed off of said surface and be dropped therefrom,
- a movable coin pusher disposed on said game board surface,
- drive means for revolving said coin pusher about a first vertical axis of revolution, and
- at least one coin chute for receiving and guiding player's coins and having a coin release end positioned to drop player's coins on to said surface.
Coin game apparatus comprising:
- a cabinet having a substantially level floor forming a game board and upwardly extending side walls and a top formed at least in part of transparent material, said game board having opposite side regions with edges at which coins may be pushed off of said board and drop therefrom and having a plurality of holes in said game board which are spaced apart from said edge regions and from each other which holes are of sufficient size to enable dropping of coins from said game board at the locations of said holes,
- a movable coin pusher disposed on said game board and having an exterior surface which extends upward therefrom,
- means for revolving said coin pusher about a first vertical axis of revolution in a manner which causes said exterior surface of said pusher to move towards and away from each of said edge regions in the course of revolving about said axis whereby coins may be pushed off of said game board at said edge regions by the motion of said pusher,
- first and second coin chutes attached to said cabbinet at said opposite side regions of said game board and being positioned to drop players coins on to said game board, each of said coin chutes having a coin guiding slot shaped to position coins which roll therealong in an upright orientation, and
- means for swiveling said first and second coin chutes whereby players may aim coins at said holes in said game board.
