1. A gaming apparatus wherein a game is played by positioning at least two objects in competition as a function of numbers based on letters associated with each object, said gaming apparatus comprising:

  • at least two competing objects each identified by an object name consisting of a unique combination of at least two letters from the alphabet;

    a random letter generator generating a random sequence of letters from the alphabet;

    a calculating device calculating an independent incremental value (Ix) for each object, to determine an independent incremental progression of play for each of the respective competitive objects, upon each letter being randomly drawn in said random sequence, the relative magnitude of each said incremental value for each object being a function of the letter drawn and the inclusion of that respective letter in any of the respective object names corresponding to the respective competitive objects, said calculating device further computing a position value (Mx) for each object during each random letter generation as a function of the respective incremental value (Ix) to determine a competing game position relative to any other object; and

    an object indicator for each said object coupled to said calculating device to indicate the relative corresponding position value (Mx) thereof.
