An arcade game is disclosed having a rotating roulette type wheel with
holes along a concentric circle of the upper face, and a coin track for
carrying a coin from a player to the roulette type wheel at the position
of the holes, which serve as targets. An optical sensor signals a
microprocessor that a coin is entering the rotating playing field, and a
second optical detector detects the nearest target and communicates a
target value to the microprocessor. The microprocessor compares the
timing of the coin passing through the coin track and the passage of the
most proximal target, and awards the target value of the time between the
two events is within a predetermined interval.
