Abstract
A method and device for playing a game are set forth which includes a spinning top to make random selections of outcomes. Players can wager on one or more color outcomes being generated by the top. When wagers have been made, a player spins the top which topples over to select an outcome. The dealer inputs the outcome to a processor which drives displays to display the outcome and input the current outcome on a display column showing the history of outcomes. Players are paid for winning wagers and are paid greater rewards for wagering on and obtaining consecutive same color outcomes.
