| Abstract: |
A game table for combination use in a booth as a video game and for service of food or drink and the like. The game includes a frame above which a table top is pivotally mounted for movement between open and closed positions. A video monitor and components of the game control circuit are mounted within the frame for ready access when the table top is open. Control panels which carry manually-operated control elements are hingeably mounted on opposite sides of the frame to permit the panels to be opened for servicing. The table top includes a transparent panel which, when the top is closed, overlies the monitor and the control panels so that individuals seated at the booth can manipulate the control elements and at the same time view the controls as well as the monitor. A coin box projects from the frame above the plane of the table for convenient access.
