Patent ID: 8568214

Claim:
An amusement game comprising: a housing including an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion including a playing area and a transparent wall for viewing the playing area; a circular, disk-shaped turntable mounted to a first motor for rotation within the playing area in a first direction, the circular, disk-shaped turntable including sector delineations and values assigned to each sector, where said sector delineations coincide with vertical markers extending from an upper surface of the circular disk-shaped turntable at a common radius; an elongate pointer extending from a spindle passing through a center of the circular, disk-shaped turntable, the spindle mounted to a second motor for rotation within the playing area in an opposite direction, where the turntable and pointer rotate about a common vertical axis of rotation; a sensor mounted to the elongate pointer and aligned radially with the markers for sensing each marker passed by the pointer, and communicating a signal to a microprocessor for each marker passed; player controls for generating signals to start and stop the turntable and pointer; a control box with the housing for receiving signals from the player controls, and actuating the first and second motors based on signals from the player controls; and a microprocessor for determining, after the pointer and turntable has stopped, a sector coinciding with the pointer and a value associated with the sector based on the number of markers passed; wherein the microprocessor further modifies the value associated with the sector determined to coincide with the pointer based on a quadrant that the pointer is located.
