Abstract
The apparatus according to the present invention provides an arcade machine receiving a coin from each player along one or more coin paths which determine the coin path and thus the outcome of the player's participation. The coins are introduced tangentially from one of several locations to the outer edge of a funnel-like bowl with a lowered center exit, and proceed generally around the bowl and exits to a generally planar table below the exit, which includes revolving blades to stir the coins in the table. As the coins accumulate or are urged by the blades, and eventually fall from the outer perimeter of the table to coin output drawers or openings, where the coins may be withdrawn by the player as winnings.
