  • Patent number: 8196927
    Abstract: A game, similar to craps, is described, where two marbles may be thrown by the players into a spinning machine. The spinning machine may include a funnel at the top of the machine into which the players may throw the marbles, a cylinder through which the marbles may pass, and a spinner to spin 12 slots that may receive the marbles from the cylinder. Two marbles may be thrown into the funnel and may exit into a first set of six slots, which may be numbered from 1-6 (or A, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) of one suit (such as hearts), and a second set of six slots, similarly numbered, or a different suit (such as spades). The two slots into which the marbles fall may equate to two dice being rolled in certain traditional craps games. A table may be designed specifically for the game, wherein up to eight players may play at the same time.
