An improved mobile workshop system for manufacturing, maintaining, inspecting, servicing, or testing downhole equipment, which provides a structure having four walls, a top, and a floor portion, the structure having the capacity to be transported as a closed container or box to the work site. Within the structure is provided a plurality of stationary machinery items, such as hydraulic vises, floor jacks, and hydraulic tongs, the machinery items mounted to the sidewalls of the container; thus, providing valuable tool and equipment storage space on the floor of the container. There is further provided a retractable crane system along the top interior of the container, so that when the container is placed on the job site, the walls of the container may retract from the vertical position, as container walls, to the horizontal position, lowering the machinery into operational position upon the horizontally positioned sidewalls, now defining the secondary base of the workshop. The various tasks to the downhole equipment would now be carried out by the machinery, and the floor of the structure would function as storage space for the system. The crane arms are extended outward to define a workable overhead crane for transporting downhole equipment throughout the work space. Other tools and machinery are accessible from the storage space provided within the container when the workshop configuration is established.

The present invention is designed specifically to comply with gaming regulations to provide an electronic video poker game, an electronic slot machine, an electronic twenty-one game or an electronic craps game in which the players are competing against each other to win from a common pool and are not wagering against the house. The house retains an pre-established commission. When a player stops playing his machine, he can cash out his accrued credits for an amount determined by the value of the common pari-mutuel pool. The present invention also provides for pari-mutuel pools to be distributed to all coin columns in a predetermined manner so as to allow all participants (not only the ones who play maximum coins) to be able to win a predetermined mathematical proportional share of the pari-mutuel jackpot pool (progressive payouts). The invention also provides for seeding of the jackpot pools by the gaming establishment and for funding of future pools by setting aside into future pools portions of wagers made by current players.
