A game projectile dispensing device with a dispensing housing, a game projectile retaining member for retaining a plurality of game projectiles in a stack, first and second game projectile emission chutes, an actuating lever with a first arm for being engaged by a player and a second arm for engaging a game projectile whereby a player can press on the first arm of the actuating lever to induce the actuating lever to drive the lower-most projectile from the stack of game projectiles. A game projectile supply ramp can enable a player to select between emitting the game projectile from the first and second game projectile emission chutes. The game projectile supply ramp can be disposed below the game projectile retaining member whereby, when driven from the stack of game projectiles, a game projectile will drop onto the game projectile supply ramp for being dispensed.

The game projectile dispensing device of claim 1 wherein the means for retaining at least one game projectile relative to the dispensing housing comprises a game projectile retaining member with a body portion, a first end, a second end, and an open inner volume for retaining a plurality of game projectiles wherein the game projectile retaining member is removably and replaceably received relative to the dispensing housing.13. The game projectile dispensing device of claim 12 wherein the game projectile retaining member has a base retainer member disposed at the first end thereof for preventing game projectiles from being inadvertently dislodged from within the open inner volume of the game projectile retaining member whereby the game projectile retaining member can be used in retrieving, retaining, storing, and dispensing game projectiles.14. The game projectile dispensing device of claim 13 wherein the base retainer member has an open mouth for allowing the dispensing of game projectiles.15. The game projectile dispensing device of claim 14 wherein the actuating means comprises an actuating lever that is pivotable about a pivot axis and wherein the base retainer has an aperture disposed opposite to the open mouth for allowing an entry and operation of the actuating lever.16. The game projectile dispensing device of claim 13 further comprising a handle coupled to the body portion of the game projectile retaining member wherein the handle is disposed generally in line with the open mouth of the base retainer member.17. A game projectile dispensing device for dispensing a game projectile onto an adjacent ground surface, the game projectile dispensing device comprising:a dispensing housing; a means for retaining at least one game projectile relative to the dispensing housing; an actuating means for enabling a player to dispense a game projectile from the dispensing housing; and a selection means comprising a game projectile supply ramp with a first end and a second, opposite end for enabling a player to select between emitting the game projectile in a first direction or in a second direction opposite the first direction wherein the game projectile supply ramp is tiltable from a first orientation wherein the game projectile supply ramp provides a ramp sloped toward the first direction wherein the game projectile will be emitted from the first end of the game projectile supply ramp and a second orientation wherein the game projectile supply ramp provides a ramp sloped toward the second direction wherein the game projectile will be emitted from the second end of the game projectile supply ramp. 18.
