The apparatus resembles an actual baseball stadium, and players hit, pitch and field using the game apparatus. Advertising can be placed on the apparatus and can be changed as desired.

Abstract: A game utilizing a deck of playing cards. The playing cards each have letter designations in the upper left hand corner in each of two different invertible positions of the card with the letter designation differing from each other. In the lower right hand corner of each of the two invertible positions of the card, there is provided an "information center" giving the letter designation of the card should the card be inverted. Thus, as the cards are held in a hand, one adjacent to the other, both the letter designating the card in its upright position as well as the letter available to the card, should the card be inverted, are both visible to the player. Cards are selected and a word must be formed with the cards being able to be positioned in either of their two inverted positions. After the word is formed, the word is then used as an acronym in the formation of a sentence, with the sentence preferably being associated with the word itself.

Abstract: An amusement device includes a rigid plate provided with a plurality of elongated slots interconnected with each other, and a plurality of playing pieces different in shape and/or color. The playing pieces are freely slidable in the elongated slots and may be displaced from one slot to another.

Abstract: A three-dimensional puzzle including puzzle pieces having discrete surfaces, at least one surface of which has a three-dimensional sculpted form whereby the sculpted surfaces in the aggregate upon assembly of the puzzle form a continuous three-dimensional pictorial representation. Abutting sides of the puzzle pieces may be interlocking or three-dimensional for conformal abutting relation with the sides of opposed puzzle pieces. Filler pieces are also provided underlying the puzzle pieces for elevating the sculpted surfaces of the puzzle pieces. The puzzle pieces and filler pieces may be disposed on a base which may have an edge containment whereby non-interlocking puzzle and filler pieces may be used. The puzzle and filler pieces may be vertically interlocked against lateral movement and with respect to the base by projections received in corresponding recesses.

Abstract: A slot machine has a wheel mechanism including a plurality of motors, a plurality of rotary shafts rotated about their respective axes by the driving forces of the motors, and symbol carrying members each having a relatively small radius of gyration and carrying a symbol on its visible surface. The symbol carrying members are spaced apart at equal interals in at least three horizontal rows and at least three vertical columns. Accordingly, the depth of the casing frame of the slot machine can be reduced to a remarkable extent, and a player can immediately identify the winning line visually.
