Blackjack, Pt. II (Cocktails for Four)
Through the use of a mInI -
computer, the world ' s first automa -
tic backgammon game is now
available.
The Gammonmaster,
manufactured by Xedar Corp .,
Boulder, Colo ., is capable of playing
against any opponent from novice
to master . Because of the random
" throw of the dice," the opponent is
quite capable of winning though the
rel iable microprocessor does pro-
vide for an unerring game .
The game board is displayed on
Ramtek Corp . is unveiling a
unique new cocktail table design for
its blackjack video game, Hit Me. In
Hit Me, one to four players can
compete with each other or against
the house. A game consists of a
maximum of five hands or until the
players lose their assigned 40 chips .
[See June 76 New Products section
for a more complete description of
Hit Me.--Ed.J
The new four-player cocktail table
is upright in design so that nothing --
drinks, napkins, etc .--can obscure
the screen.
And the unit, as
opposed to the conventional cock-
tail table , can be placed against a
wall.
The table top is 30" from the
floor . Like the full -scale version of
the game, the cocktail table Hit Me
is equipped with a microprocesser.
