Abstract

A method and apparatus for playing a game of skill and chance for one or more players, in which colored, numbered balls comprise the contest elements. Players can bet on obtaining predetermined combination of elements. Players are permitted to reject some or all elements and receive substitute elements to complete a final combination of elements. The final combination is evaluated against a predetermined pay table of values to determine the pay out, if any, to the player. Apparatus may include electronic or mechanical game machines.
