Abstract: An amusement/gaming device which provides means for the selective release of game pieces, such as balls, for replay. The amusement/gaming device comprises an array of positions, each position representing a score in a game such as draw poker. Each position includes a hole to hold a ball in that position and an optical detector to identify residence of the ball in the hole. An array of rotatable rods having fingers are mounted below the holes. Solenoids are mounted at the ends of the rods for selectively rotating two intersecting rods to release the ball allowing return of one or more balls for replay. A microprocessor control and a video display interact with the player.
