  • Patent number: 4807883
    Abstract: A game apparatus can be releasably or permanently secured to a gaming table in such a way as to pivotally support a hollow, transparent container or other gambling unit for swinging movement across the table. The container is journaled at the end of a pivotal support arm so that each player in turn can rotate or tumble the dice in the container and permit the container to coast to a stop with the dice resting on the lower interior of the container. Odd-sided dice are preferably employed in combination with a mirrored surface beneath the lower interior end of the container so that the numbers on the dice, when the container comes to rest, are reflected by the mirrored surface for ease of reading by the players. In a modified form, a braking mechanism is employed to retard tumbling or rotation of the container or other gambling unit so as to reduce the time required for the container or unit to come to a complete stop.
