Abstract

An electronic apparatus which operates a technological aid and effectively electronically assists in the play of games of chance as, for example, that game of chance known as 'Pull-Tab.' The apparatus is generally played by a single player and is designed to dispense a ticket containing indicia thereon. A large number of tickets are in the apparatus and the player actuates the apparatus and obtains a dispensed ticket. The apparatus is primarily designed for entertainment purposes only. The tickets installed in each of the apparatus are randomly selected from a larger group of these tickets and the balance of these tickets are located in other like apparatus. If the indicia which appears on the ticket constitutes winning or scoring indicia, the player obtains a reward as, for example, a pay-off in money. Only a limited number of the tickets contain any winning or scoring indicia. All tickets are pre-printed and may be dispensed from a bin containing pre-cut tickets or severed from a strip in the form of a roll. The apparatus comprises a display means which displays each of the indicia on a ticket. The display is operated in a manner so that the indicia are effectively sequentially displayed horizontally. The tickets are constructed so that a cover strip can be pulled from one side to the other to sequentially display the indicia on the ticket.
