  • Patent number: 5039099
    Abstract: An apparatus including a planar smooth playing surface, including a pocket formed at each corner of the playing surface, wherein a pocket is provided access by use of a displaceable door underlying each pocket. A predtermined number of cylindrical disks are awarded each player for directing each of said chips into an associated pocket by use of a primary or mother chip defined by a diameter greater than that of the playing chips. A modification of the instant invention includes utilization of dipole magnetic bars mounted to an upper surface of each chip, wherein opposing chips are permitted to deflect due to repulsion forces of the magnets, wherein each of the magnets includes a first and second pole, wherein each of the first poles of each of the magnets is positioned adjacent a peripheral wall surface of the chips or disks to permit the deflection effecting an enhanced level of difficulty in use of the instant invention.
