Abstract

A card amusement game apparatus is provided which contains two different regions representing a card game hand. One region displays a hand by means of a video display and another region represents a hand by a display on at least one rotatable wheel. The apparatus includes the option of the player selecting the hands to be played by either the dealer or the player.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . The combination of a video card game apparatus and a wheel or disk card game apparatus comprising a housing have a first region having a first display of a video display of a plurality of cards, 
 a second region on said housing having a second display of at least one rotatable disk or wheel, said disk or wheel having an annular band of playing card indicia which encircles said disk or wheel and where a card value and suit is determined by arrival of a particular card indicia at a particular location,    at least one control means associated with a game program and microprocessor for controlling the drawing of cards appearing at a display, and    manual control means operated by a player for controlling at least one outcome of the cards appearing on at least one display.    
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  comprising two rotatable disks, one of said disks having the indicia of a card suit and the other disk having the indicia of a card value.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said disk rotation stoppage after rotation is controlled by a player.  
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  including a further video card display on said first region associated with a game program and said microprocessor,  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  comprising a video card display on said second region associated with a microprocessor to provide a card game hand.  
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  including a further video display of cards associated with a microprocessor that provides a card selection with chase lights.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the stoppage of said chase lights is controlled by the microprocessor.  
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the stoppage of the chase lights is controlled by a player.  
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which represents the game of blackjack and one display region represents a dealer and the other region represents a player.  
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a single drive motor drives the rotation of said at least one disk.  
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  comprising two disks and the speed rotation of one disk is greater than the speed of rotation of the other disk.  
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said wheels or disks are centered on a common axis of rotation.  
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein a stepper motor is coupled to said at least one disk or wheel.  
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , which comprises separately rotatable wheels or disks.  
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the microprocessor controls drawing of cards at one display and the player affects the drawing of the cards at the other display.
