with reference now to the drawings , and in particular to fig1 through 13 thereof , a new gaming machine embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described . the present invention , designated as numeral 10 , includes a wheel assembly 13 supported by a table . a large disk 16 is rotatably mounted on the table . the large disk has situated thereon a plurality of pie - shaped sections 17 each with an outer peripheral section 18 having a unique number situated therein . mounted on the periphery of the large disk is a plurality of handles 20 each extending radially therefrom . in use , the handles are adapted for manually rotating the wheel assembly . the large disk of the wheel assembly further includes a transparent peripheral lip 22 . such lip is integrally coupled to the periphery of the large disk of the wheel assembly and extends upwardly therefrom . a plurality of cylinders 24 are provided each with an open end and a closed bottom end mounted on the large disk . each cylinder is positioned in one of a plurality of inner peripheral sections each associated with one of the outer peripheral sections . it should be noted that each cylinder includes a pivoting floor 26 and a pair of semicircular cut outs 28 formed in an upper edge thereof . for reasons that will become apparent , a switch 30 is mounted on the floor of each cylinder for actuating upon the insertion of a ball therein . further , to remove a ball from within each cylinder , a sliding door 32 is mounted on an outboard side thereof . it should be noted that when removed from one of the cylinders , the ball is prevented by the peripheral lip from falling from the wheel assembly . fixedly mounted on the large disk is a small disk 34 which is situated in concentric relationship with the large disk . the small disk has an upper surface with a plurality of inboard pie - shaped sections 36 each having a unique color . associated therewith is a plurality of outboard pie - shaped sections 38 . each outboard pie - shaped section is equipped with a width less than that of the inboard pie - shaped sections and a unique number situated therein . it should be noted that each of the inboard and outboard sections has at least a pair of upwardly extending pins 40 mounted between the adjacent sections . a further component of the wheel assembly is a spinning assembly 42 including a post 44 having a bottom end rotatably mounted to the small disk . an upper end of the post is equipped with a plurality of radially extending arms 46 residing in a single horizontal plane and terminating in a weighted ball . the post further includes a resilient pointer 48 extending radially therefrom adjacent to the bottom end thereof . the pointer and spinning assembly are adapted for being rotated with respect to the small disk , thereby pointing to one of the pie - shaped sections . a ball drop assembly includes a stanchion 50 mounted adjacent the table . an overhang arm 52 is mounted to a top end of the stanchion and situated over the wheel assembly . a plurality of downwardly extending members 54 are coupled to the overhang arm . mounted to bottom ends of the downwardly extending members is a transparent annular container 56 which is spacedly situated above the cylinders of the wheel assembly . the annular container includes an upper hole 58 formed in a top face thereof and a lower hole 60 formed in a bottom face thereof . a wall 62 is mounted within the annular container adjacent to the lower hole . it should be noted that a lower surface of the annular container is angled to urge the ball through the lower hole . the ball drop assembly further includes a transparent stand 64 having a launching conduit 66 mounted thereon with a hole formed in a top face thereof . for launching a ball that is dropped within the hole , a spring loaded plunger 68 is positioned within the launching conduit . a vertically oriented drop chute 70 is connected between the launch conduit and the upper hole of the annular container . the drop chute serves for guiding a launched ball into the annular container , out the lower hole and into one of the cylinders of the wheel assembly . also included is a batting mechanism 72 with a stand 74 having an arm 76 rotatably mounted to a top end thereof . such rotatable coupling is effected at a central extent of the arm . further , the batting mechanism is positioned such that an inboard end strikes one of the balls upon an outboard end of the batting mechanism being struck . a game board 78 is provided having a top face with a circular configuration . the top face of the game board has a plurality of pie - shaped sections each corresponding to one of the pie - shaped sections of the small disk . further , the top face of the game board is equipped with numbers corresponding to those of the large disk . gaming chips are preferably included for marking sections of the game board which are to be betted . in use , one of three games may be played with the foregoing components . first , the spinning assembly may be rotated with respect to the wheel assembly by way of the batting mechanism . the first two games entail betting with the game board on either the inner or outer pie - shaped sections of the small disk , respectively . in the third game , the handles are used to rotate the wheel assembly after which the ball drop assembly is employed to drop the ball into one of the cylinders . to further indicate into which cylinder the ball has dropped , it is preferred that the switches be connected to a panel 79 having a matrix of lights 81 mounted thereon . note fig1 . each of such lights corresponds with one of cylinders . a buzzer 80 also activates upon the ball entering any one of the cylinders . to accomplish this , the wheel assembly includes a first annular brush contact 82 for connecting with a first terminal of a power supply . such brush contact is in turn connected to the switches of each of the cylinders which are connected to a plurality of annular brush contacts 84 positioned on a bottom of the wheel assembly . note fig1 . these annular brush contacts are connected to the matrix of lights of the panel and the bell for affording the function set forth hereinabove . see fig1 . as to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention , the same should be apparent from the above description . accordingly , no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided . with respect to the above description then , it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention , to include variations in size , materials , shape , form , function and manner of operation , assembly and use , are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art , and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention . therefore , the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention . further , since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art , it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described , and accordingly , all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to , falling within the scope of the invention .
