Abstract

The invention provides that a gaming and amusement apparatus is based upon the game playable by a number of players who operate individual bagatelle type tables (26-36). These tables are linked to model race horses (1-6) or the like which run in tracks (12-22) visible to all players. The horses (1-6) advance along the tracks (12-22) in proportion to the performance of the players, and the first player to advance his horse (1-6) to the winning line (F) is the winner. The invention provides on the one hand that the tables (26-36) are coin operated and that the value of the winning prize is proportional to the number of players and increases as the number of players increases. The apparatus has an indicator arrangement (42) to indicate to passers-by when each race is about to start, to induce them to join in, if there are places available. The invention on the other hand provides a novel form of feed for the balls (68) to be propelled by the players over the play tables (26-36).
