摘要： An arcade basketball game which has a transparent enclosure (20) with basketball hoops (40) and a miniature basketball (28) inside. A pair of inclined playing surfaces (30) join together in a peak with transparent vertical barrier (34) on top, allowing the ball to roll to the lowest point where a striker bar (36) impedes its travel. An open space between the bar and the playing surface allow a hand held striker (52) to hit the ball upward at an angle toward the opposite players hoop in an attempt to score a goal. A shot blocker (70) and a pair of tip in hands (78) that are electrically controlled by a joystick (76) and hand switches (86) move in order to help or hinder the flight path of the ball. A game time display (60) indicates elapsed time and a pair of scoreboards (68) denote the scores of each player.

摘要： The disclosed card game variant enables players to compete in the familiar format of a rummy-type game against other players in a live cardroom format. In a preferred seven-card embodiment, players initially ante, then receive two cards face down and one card face up from a non-playing dealer. Players electing to continue play after a forced bet or fold option each receive additional cards, one at a time with each card followed by a betting round, to complete a seven card hand consisting of three face down cards and four face up cards. The point count totals of the hands of each remaining player are then determined and compared, with each Ace counting 1, each deuce counting 2, etc., and with tens and face cards each counting 10. Each spread consisting of three or more suited cards in sequence or three or four of a kind counts zero (0). The object of the game is to have the lowest point count total, and the winning player(s) are awarded the accumulated wagers or pot.
