  • Patent number: 4560171
    Abstract: A poker game is disclosed which includes several gameboards. Each of the gameboards includes at least 52 locations, or more if the use of jokers is desired. Each of the locations displays therein a symbol of a different playing card from a standard deck of cards. Each of the locations also displays therein one of a series of at least 52 sequential numbers, which are independent of and unrelated to the playing card symbols. Either the playing card symbols or the numbers are randomly arranged on each gameboard. Each of the gameboards thus has different combinations of playing card symbols and indicia within its locations. A "wheel of fortune" is provided for randomly generating a series of numbers corresponding to the numbers on the gameboards. Upon operation of the wheel of fortune, each gameboard has associated therewith a poker hand consisting of the playing cards symbolized in the locations corresponding to the series of numbers thus generated.

  • Patent number: 4153250
    Abstract: A gravity-type racing game is provided which includes start and finish positions connected by an inclined trackway. Playing objects, such as balls, are assignable to each of the players, and a plurality of such balls are released from the start position to traverse the inclined trackway toward the finish position. Rotatable and flipper-type deflectors are disposed on the inclined trackway for deflecting the balls as they approach the finish position. A plurality of playing stations are provided for the players, and each player's station includes a control button. The control buttons are all connected in parallel to the same deflectors and are operable by each player for actuating the same deflectors. In this manner, each player may actuate the same deflectors to deflect the ball of another player away from the finish position.
