The preferred embodiment uses a pair of ball blowers, each selecting a numbered ball from six balls, numbered from one to six. A pair of monitors display the selected balls as viewed from video cameras mounted above the ball blowers, one number per monitor. The sum of the pair of numbers displayed constitute the random number decision generation replacing the use of dice. An additional embodiment uses a random number generator to select two numbers for random number decision generation. Another embodiment uses two shuffled card decks from which to select two numbered cards for random number decision generation. An additional embodiment uses a remote control activated by a player to initiate the random number generator for selection of two numbers for random number decision generation.
