Abstract (en)

The invention provides a coin operated gaming machine comprising a plurality of horizontal tracks extending between a starting line and a finishing line. Each track has a movable model horse or the like. One of the horses is the "house horse" and moves at a fixed predetermined speed when the game is started. The other horses are moved by the respective players of the machine at speeds dependent upon the skill of the players in propelling balls into holes in bagatelle tables. Any player whose horse reaches the finishing line before the house horse wins a prize which may be automatically dispensed coins or tokens.
