Abstract: An apparatus for playing a game of chance comprises a participator area for accommodating a plurality of players, a receptacle spaced from the participator area, a projectile which can be directed by a player from the participator area into the receptacle, and a display. The receptacle defines a plurality of separate regions to each of which is assigned one member of a set of possible play results, and the display has a plurality of display conditions corresponding respectively to the different members of the set of possible play results. Each region defined by the receptacle is provided with an electrical switch detector which is actuated by the projectile when it is in that region to place the electrically actuated display in the display condition corresponding to that member of the set of possible play results which is assigned to that region.
