Abstract A table-type betting game that simulates gambling on races at a horse or dog track. The game includes an AMOUNT OF BET circle, a number of ODDS DISCS, and a BANK. An indicator, rotated over the bet circle, determines the amount of a player''s wager. The BANK is always the eventual winner, due to specially designed ODDS DISCS. Each disc is divided into segments of varying sizes, and each segment carries a betting odd, the reciprocal of each of the betting odds being greater than the corresponding segment''s proportional share of the periphery of the disc. The discs are interchangeable, and each disc represents one game or ''''race.'''' An arrow rotated over an odds disc determines the winning player and the odds he receives.
Game apparatus comprising a playing board having indicia thereon designating a restricted area for use as a bank; a plurality of members to be drawn by chance and each bearing a different one of a series of indicia; means for selecting by chance one of said indicia; a circular member having its surface divided into segments of different peripheral extents, each segment bearing a different one of a set of indicia representing betting odds, the value of the reciprocal of each odd being greater than its segment''s proportional part of the periphery of said circular member; and means for effecting relative rotary movement of said circular member and a coacting index member to select by chance one of said segments.
