Handheld gaming ball display device

A handheld character selector and display device for the agitation, random selection and display of spherical objects bearing characters thereon, said device comprising:

• (A) a transparent main housing having disposed therein for random mixing through agitation a plurality of spherical objects bearing characters thereon;
• (B) a transparent sub-housing substantially smaller in volume than said main housing and in communication with said main housing for receiving from said main housing for kinetic energy dissipation a sub-plurality of said spherical objects;
• (C) a transparent identification chute substantially smaller in diameter than said sub-housing and in communication with said sub-housing for receiving from said sub-housing and displaying in alignment a predetermined number of said spherical objects;
• (D) agitation means for agitating said spherical objects in said main housing and propelling a sub-plurality thereof into said sub-housing so that said predetermined number of said spherical objects are eventually received in said chute, all within predetermined time constraints, said agitation means including a battery, an actuatable battery-operated motor, and a motor-driven agitator, said agitator being rotated by said motor, when actuated, and directly physically impinging on said spherical objects in said main housing;
• and
• (E) control means for controlling actuation of said motor;
• said sub-housing being configured and dimensioned to allow said predetermined number of said spherical objects to be received therefrom by said chute even while and if said agitation means is continuously agitating and propelling.
