Abstract: We introduce a class of nonconvex billiards with a boundary
composed of arcs of confocal conics which contain reflex angles. We present
their basic topological and arithmetic properties. We study their periodic
orbits and establish a local Poncelet porism. A connection with interval
exchange transformation is established together with the Keane-type
conditions for minimality.
