Abstract
An amusement device contains a playing area housed inside a cabinet which is visible from outside the cabinet. The device contains a coin feeder which allows only coins of a particular size to pass and to drop down into the playing area. The playing area contains at least one horizontal platform positioned in the playing area so that the coins dropping down from the coin feeder land on the platform. The coins landing on the platform accumulate in a random pile and occasionally spill over the platform and a portion of them are discharged to the player.
