A wheel game apparatus comprising: a base having a central axial shaft; an inner ring mounted for rotational motion about the shaft, the inner ring having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots adjacent to the radially outer edge, characterized by: a central cone mounted for rotational motion about the shaft in an axial adjacent position to the upper side of the inner ring, the central cone having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including at least one marker thereon and a raised portion; a plunger mounted to the upper side of the inner ring, the plunger including a spring for biasing an arm extending radially inward, the arm including a distal end; and an annular ring mounted on the lower side of the central cone, the annular ring including a plurality of equally sized engagement spaces divided by radial ridges, the plurality of engagement spaces being equal to the number of circumferentially spaced slots, each engagement space being generally in radial alignment with a single circumferentially spaced slot, wherein the distal end of the arm of the plunger is configured to engage with the engagement spaces of the annular ring and align the at least one marker with a slot unless force sufficient to cause rotational motion of the cone disengages the plunger from its engagement with the engagement spaces. a base having a central axial shaft; an inner ring mounted for rotational motion about the shaft, the inner ring having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots adjacent to the radially outer edge, characterized by: a central cone mounted for rotational motion about the shaft in an axial adjacent position to the upper side of the inner ring, the central cone having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including at least one marker thereon and a raised portion; a plunger mounted to the upper side of the inner ring, the plunger including a spring for biasing an arm extending radially inward, the arm including a distal end; and an annular ring mounted on the lower side of the central cone, the annular ring including a plurality of equally sized engagement spaces divided by radial ridges, the plurality of engagement spaces being equal to the number of circumferentially spaced slots, each engagement space being generally in radial alignment with a single circumferentially spaced slot, wherein the distal end of the arm of the plunger is configured to engage with the engagement spaces of the annular ring and align the at least one marker with a slot unless force sufficient to cause rotational motion of the cone disengages the plunger from its engagement with the engagement spaces. a central cone mounted for rotational motion about the shaft in an axial adjacent position to the upper side of the inner ring, the central cone having an upper side, a lower side and a radially outer edge, the upper side including at least one marker thereon and a raised portion; a plunger mounted to the upper side of the inner ring, the plunger including a spring for biasing an arm extending radially inward, the arm including a distal end; and an annular ring mounted on the lower side of the central cone, the annular ring including a plurality of equally sized engagement spaces divided by radial ridges, the plurality of engagement spaces being equal to the number of circumferentially spaced slots, each engagement space being generally in radial alignment with a single circumferentially spaced slot, wherein the distal end of the arm of the plunger is configured to engage with the engagement spaces of the annular ring and align the at least one marker with a slot unless force sufficient to cause rotational motion of the cone disengages the plunger from its engagement with the engagement spaces.
